We hired all Beverage Catering for my mother's 60th birthday in South Lake Tahoe and we were extremely happy with the service they provided from start to finish! David helped us match our menu to the theme of the event, as well as provided us recommendations on how much alcohol we would need based on the size, length, etc. of the event! He was always willing to answer any questions we had and was quick to respond. The night of was just as amazing - his bartender was friendly, efficient and professional! I've worked in the hospitality/events industry for 15 years and was very impressed with the service David and his crew provided! I highly recommend! read more

Incredibly disappointing bartending service for a wedding of nearly 200 guests. Please read before booking with them. The bartenders were serving shots in extremely small plastic cups, essentially the size of bottle caps. The issue was not simply that the cups were smaller than expected, it was that the bartenders were FLAT OUT telling guests to save and reuse their own cups because the bar did not have enough cups for everyone. What is particularly difficult to understand is that the venue knew in advance how many guests would be attending. Adequate cups for the number of guests should be a basic logistical consideration for a wedding of this size! In an effort to resolve the issue ourselves & spare the bride from having to deal with an embarrassing situation at her own wedding, we ended up ordering our own full-size shot glasses and having them delivered to the venue. We were not asking the venue to purchase anything or incur any additional expense. Despite this, the bartending staff STILL refused to use the full-size shot glasses we provided and continued using the extremely small plastic cups which they were allegedly running out of! I understand that venues may have policies regarding outside items, but if that was the case, this should have been communicated before the event. Refusing to use glasses that we had personally purchased to address a shortage left us with no reasonable explanation for why the issue could not be resolved. At that point, it was just about them being stingy with the alcohol. The bride and groom should not have to worry about basic bar supplies at their own wedding, nor should friends and family have to scramble to gather supplies because of the venue's apparent lack of preparation or regard for the number of guests. For anyone considering this venue for a wedding or large reception, make sure you're okay with the venue being incredibly stingy toward your guests. Based on our experience, I would not assume that the bar will be adequately prepared simply because the venue has been given the final guest count in advance. read more

All Beverage Catering - Size of the shot glasses, which they still only filled up about 40% - Bartenders Near Me

I would give zero stars if I could. Please do not hire this bartending company unless you want your guests to be asked to REUSE their shot cups and cocktails cups. We had 185 guests at our event, and I trusted that the bartender would come prepared with all of the necessary supplies. We were told there were only 150 shot cups (by David himself) which meant guests were being asked to save and reuse their shot glasses and cocktail glasses. This was extremely tacky and honestly embarrassing for us as hosts. If there weren't going to be enough cups, I would have much rather been told ahead of time so I could have had my point of contact purchase additional cups. It made my partner and I look cheap in front of our guests. David also mentions that he pours half shots - understand that these shot glasses he's talking about are literally like water bottle caps. Several guests commented on it, and I personally had multiple guests tell me that they felt David was rude and unwelcoming What bothered me most was hearing from multiple guests that some of my family members, including my uncles who wear turbans, were not treated kindly Asking guests to save their cups was humiliating and completely unnecessary. One of our guests even mentioned that his bartender partner said David "just likes to save the cups," which made the situation even more disappointing. We purchased the alcohol and drinks and went home with MANY leftovers Please save yourself the headache and embarassment and spend the extra money to hire a proper bartending company that prioritizes the experience for guests. I would NEVER work with this company again read more

The service was less than subpar, weirdly confrontational with guests and stingy with everything else even though all drinks were provided for them. read more

Thank you David for bartending my wedding. The setup was beautiful (I will post a picture when I can find one). He made sure my bride and I had our drinks ready. He went above and beyond to help my groomsman get ready to pour champagne as we did not have caterers. He kept the area clean and any leftovers were packaged up for me to take home. Next time I have an event, I will hire David again. read more

I was a bridesmaid in a recent wedding that All Beverage Catering provided the bartending services (with David as the lead). As a guest, it was the least pleasant bartending experience I've had and we did everything we could to make sure the bride was unaware during the event. Some specific items that were issues: - I am HEAVILY pregnant and David tried to serve me alcohol on two separate occasions (part of this was that he seemed unaware of the non-alcoholic options despite the fact that they were prominently displayed on all signage provided by the bride and groom). - He was unprepared to make the signature drinks and made me read the label to ensure the mocktail was truly non-alc. He also complained to me that the drink had too many ingredients in it. - He chastised guests for not reusing glassware (despite making the bride and groom pay extra to have extra glassware on hand) and when my husband told him that he couldn't reuse a glass that had been cleared, he became visibly agitated. - He made the groom leave his own wedding in the middle of the reception to finalize payment. - He sought out and lectured the maid of honor after her speech for jokingly "icing" the bride and groom despite no alcohol being consumed. - His staff became visibly flustered about the amount of rules and seems concerned about getting in trouble for misstepping. My husband ultimately described David as a camp-counselor who takes the rules too seriously and has forgotten that he is there to cultivate an experience, not keep everyone in line. Unfortunately, we didn't speak to a single guest who didn't have some sort of issue with the bartending service. I'm only grateful that the bride was unaware of all of the issues until the next day and am appalled that the groom had to be in the middle of this. read more

If I could give David a zero I would. Was a guest at a recent wedding. - Rude to guests. One example of many, when one asked for a specific drink and then the next person in line asked for the same drink, he scolded them for not asking together because it was easier for him to make two of the same one. The guests did not know each other. - Made groom leave his own wedding reception to get his wallet and pay an extra balance that he added that day. - Served signature drink with missing key ingredient (this was provided by the bride and groom prior to the wedding) - Would not give weddings guests multiple drinks to bring to their dates, only would allow one drink at a time and forced guests to come up and prove they were not drinking the previous drink. - Scolded guests for not bringing their cups back to reuse (bride and groom provided glassware and paid him to bring extra. There were plenty). I could go on. Do not hire him. read more

Servicing the Sacramento area and beyond! @allbeveragecatering provided outstanding cocktails and drinks at our Tahoe wedding. David was great to work with and helped us pick a bar style to match our theme. Everyone enjoyed the setup and the drinks were on point! Thank you for helping us celebrate our BIG DAY!!! read more

See all

I'm giving All Beverage Catering a 2 star not necessarily based on the specific bartenders that were sent to bartend our wedding, but rather the owner. We flew into town to meet with David to create a signature drink for our big day. David told the bartender at the bar what to put in the drink (some of this, splash of that, etc.) and took notes on what was created. The week of the wedding when I was told the amounts of everything to purchase, David said "I'm sorry I don't remember what was in the signature cocktail." I was extremely unhappy and shocked. Luckily, I later received an email a few hours later saying he found his notes and we had the ingredients required for the signature cocktail. My worry with that is, he is supposed to be training his bartenders on how to make to drink but didn't know what was going to be needed and how much of each ingredient. Since we were the ones providing the alcohol, we needed David's suggestion on how much of everything to get. I gave the final number to David and asked twice for the amounts suggested. Each time, David said he needed to know the brand of the alcohol. I tried to explain my decision on brand will be based on if the stores have it in stock, plain and simple there are four wines and four beers, but how much of each should we purchase. I just felt like it was unnecessarily difficult to get the amounts from him. The day of the venue there were some hiccups. First, right after the ceremony a guest asked for BudLight (which was in a keg directly in the middle behind the bar) and the bartenders responded "we don't have BudLight". But it was on the menu thy provided for the top of the bar. So very little of the keg we purchased was used. It was almost completely full when we returned the keg to the store. Second, guest complained the beers weren't very cold. When the bar had died down for a moment, I went up to the bartenders and let them know guests were complaining. I noticed the keg was sitting in water. I said there's no ice in the tub, we need ice. The bartenders responded with "well when we arrived the keg wasn't on ice." My response was, "well okay let's get it on ice. I don't care what it was like when you arrived, it should be on ice." Also, all the non alcoholic beverages were stored behind the bar and never distributed. Guests/children looking for water and sodas had no idea we had those available. Granted, the fault here might lie on both the bartenders and the venue staff, but we ended up having four cases of water and several cases of soda left over. read more

Needed alcoholic beverages to be managed so that my family and I have one less thing to worry about. Awesome service.

David and his crew at All Beverage Catering is the best! We contacted him last minute for a company Christmas party and he was more than willing to help us out. He was great to work with from start to finish and having him there made our party that much better. We would recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional and fun bartender. read more

I can't say enough good things about Lindsay and Judy. The bartenders were Amazing every Thing turned out good. Want to say Thankyou for your services. Sheldon Baseball. read more

We were planning a wedding from out of town. David was very on top of things and helpful. He explained his services and all of our options and their costs very well. He was patient with all of my questions, even when I had asked them before. A week of so before the wedding, he reminded us of everything we needed. They were at the venue and all set up before we arrived. All of the drinks were cold and ready to go. He asked for the groom's and bride's drink and had them ready when they arrived. He reminded me an hour before they were getting ready to close down the bar and offered to extend the time by 1/2 hour. I highly recommend Dave and his bartending services. read more

Dave and is his staff did a great job for us in celebrating my girlfriend's 50th birthday with about 175 family and friends. They did everything necessary to serve our guests enhancing what turned out to be a very classy experience. Thanks All Beverage!!! read more

I hired David and his staff for my sorority's gala fundraiser. He honestly went so above and beyond for our event to ensure we were getting everything we wanted. He met with us several times before hand, designed specialty cocktails, and worked extremely hard to secure an alcohol license for our event. The staff were super friendly and helped entertain our guests when the bar got too crowded. The best part was how easy it was to communicate with them throughout the planning process and during the event. I couldn't have planned this event without David's help and advice and I will definitely hire him again for our next event! Thank you All Beverage Catering for making our event so special! read more

David provided fast and professional service to us from booking through to setup and the bartender provided on the day of our event! His bartender was very professional and personally delivered an NA to my husband (the birthday boy for our party) when he arrived and loaded up the remaining alcohol into my vehicle. I would definitely book with them again! read more

David was great in getting everything set up and for the most part they were fantastic. Some of our wedding guests did complain the the bartender (not David) was a bit grumpy, but overall they were great. I would hire them for another event. read more

David was perfect for my daughters wedding reception. His bar was an elegant addition to the party. He guided me through the whole process, gave me quantity recommendations for the beer and wine. He kept me informed in the weeks leading up to the event and brought extra ice for tea, water and kumbucha. He made it effortless for me. read more
