Here's to Jason Bailey and his fabulous catering crew for a 5-star catered wedding experience! From the minute we contacted Jason and had the initial planning meeting until the end of the night, after our wedding food festivities concluded, Jason was an absolute pro! His communication was great and his food was absolutely fantastic! People were raving about his California fresh taco bar days after - in fact our daughter was wishing (just last night) that we had his leftover taco fixings. Their homemade tortillas and fresh chicken, steak and veggie fillings were DELICIOUS! The nacho cheese, delectable tortilla chips and chicharones were AMAZING!!!! Guacamole was the bomb, too! As the wedding couple hosting this, we were proud to have J Bartends & J Gourmet as our partners in making our wedding incredibly unique and special for our guests. I even caught Jason locating batteries and lighting forgotten lanterns for us! He is such a platinum-level service caterer. His bartender David did a phenomenal job of improvising after realizing we forgot some mixers in our wedding rush ... and pulled off a miracle with our "signature" cocktail and ceremony shooters! Bravo!!! And the fabulous female duo, led by Jason's mom Joanne, putting together our charcuterie display were absolute miracle workers as well! Brilliantly creative! HIRE them to cater your next event - you won't be sorry! His prices are good and he is really interested in the details to make your wedding the perfect event! We will hire them again and again for our events - big or small. We cannot wait to invite them back read more

Last weekend was yet another fun filled evening with Jason tending our bar for our baby shower party. This was our second engagement with Jason and I am certainly going to use his services for future events. He simply rocks! Before the event, t was easy to plan for the event with Jason, he is very responsive and provided great suggestions for cocktails. On the day of the event, he came almost and hour early to set, what I would call, an elaborate bar for our party. The hillside venue had a bunch of stairs but Jason never did complain about going up and down several times. During the party, he was extremely professional and very amicable to our guests. His drinks were well received and so was his friendly personality. Post the party he cleaned up nicely after himself and also offered to load the leftover drinks in my vehicle. Highly recommended! read more

Jason is great, we've used his fantastic services twice now and are grateful for it! The food, professionalism, setup and beyond are always on point! Every time he helps us throw a party, several of our friends ask for his contact information! read more

Jason is wonderful! He is super helpful and willing to do whatever is needed beyond bar tending services. He's also a very friendly and likable guy that fits into the party. Jason and his staff were all very professional and made sure to check in on how they could help further. He also brought the bar and glasses. Great prices and willing to work with your budget. I hired him for my engagement party and then a year later my brother got engaged and we hired him again. I'm getting married in Sept and guess who I plan to hire for that!? This guy! ;) read more

We hired Jason and his team for our 150 + person wedding and couldn't have been happier with his company! Neither my husband nor I drink (at all) so we needed bartenders that would take the lead and Jbartends saved the day. I was very unsure about who to hire for our wedding because I didn't have any personal referrals and had interviewed so many companies and everyone promised such great things but Jason were the most direct and honest so we went with him. Their services were amazing - Jason is super responsive to all my emails and very helpful in giving suggestions. - The amount of liquor suggested was perfect. - Guests had ALL good things to say including: They gave more liquor to guests who could handle it & mixed down drinks for guests who were starting to lose it (I had emphasized I wanted everyone to at least make it through dinner) - They're good looking (super shallow haha but if you're shallow like me then rest assured) - Dressed professionally for our wedding, which was important to us because we wanted our wedding to look classy ;) - Got along with everyone! - Able to work in any situation, I realized afterwards that I forgot to buy a few ingredients but Jason was very accomodating and helped us get everything. - Came early to set up, stayed after to clean up - They even made a mock-tail bar for us fizzy juice drinkers & kids - Price cannot be beat Jbartends price is affordable than other company. I will definitely recommend Jbartends for your party and will definitely hire Jason and his team again they are all amazing! Thank you Jason for a wonderful job. read more

Jason and his team did a fantastic job at our Company BBQ this past weekend!! Jason arrived early to check out the location and coordinated with me on where to set up.

I would HIGHLY recommend J Bartends Co for every event! read more

Used J Bartends as both the bartenders and caterers for an 80 person party. They were AMAZING. Very professional, well prepared and easy to work with.

The theme of all the grad parties this year seemed to be tacos! We tried four different vendors at various parties, and J Bartends was by far the best. Jason provides more options, is very responsive and communicative, very open to meeting your individual needs, patient and all-around great to work with. My guests raved about the food and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. His set up on our back patio looked like a mini-Mexican restaurant with all of his table decor, serving bowls, cook-top, etc. I priced out many places too, and his was right in the middle, worth every penny! Your money goes a long way. I highly recommend J Bartends and will definitely use them again. read more

Jason is a true professional and passionate about helping people staff their parties appropriately! We ran into a jam and had to hire a bartender - 1 week out from a 150 person wedding. Unfortunately, we didn't quite have the pleasure of Jason tending our event but he was unbelievably helpful in providing suggestions for who we could source to staff our bar. We found someone through his suggestions and we couldn't be more at peace now that we got that piece covered. Thank you Jason for being so helpful and customer oriented! read more

Jason was an amazing bartender. He was the bartender at my surprise 40th birthday party. All my guests raved about how friendly, helpful and attentive he was. He brought a very nice silver bowls to display our drinks, he passed water bottles to guest. He helped us break down the bar and kitchen areas. Jason is an exceptional man, very professional and loves his job. I would hire him again. Thank you Jason! read more

We didn't get to hire Jason to bartend our wedding because our wedding venue required a specific liquor license. However, leading up to the wedding, Jason had awesome communication and even attended a venue walk through and made some great suggestions. We were bummed we weren't able to have him bartend but we were able to hire his party staff! The staff were great and helped make our night amazing. Thank you so much! read more

We used Jason for a small diner party about 32 people. He was fantastic. He was easy to work with, reliable. He made great drinks, made sure every guest had what they needed. Super friendly and made everyone feel at ease. I will definitely hire him again. read more

Jason and his staff were just great! They came on time and helped out with all the preparation for the food and also served the food during the event and on top of that helped us with all the breakdown. They were very professional and very fast. their prices are very affordable and reasonable. We had looked around for other services like Jason's but they had very unreasonable prices. I will definitely hire them again!! read more

Went to a picnic with J Bartends. The bartenders were super friendly, and the offerings were terrific.

We had Jason for our office warming party and he was wonderful! He is so nice and super efficient. He was kind and attentive to all. He helped on anything he could and was super cooperative on everything else other than just bartending. He brought his own tools and was always open to assist me in whatever he could. I totally recommend him. read more

Jason was amazing! We hired him for our wedding. His prices were reasonable and everybody loved him. I'll admit I was skeptical as my husband found his listing on Craigslist and he had little to no reviews in here but I was proved wrong. Jason visited our venue before the even to ensure that he would come prepared the day of. He prepared a drink menu in line with our vision. He was polite, professional, and the tequila bar was a hit! I highly recommend him for any of your events. read more

Thank you so much Jason for helping to arrange a bartender for our party. Even though it wasn't a "fancy affair" it was so nice to offload the bar setup and to treat our friends to a real bartender. David was great and made fantastic margaritas. We went with the "Deluxe Bar Package" which included many mixers, garnishes, glassware, etc which made my job easier. Such a treat. Will definitely use you guys again the next time we need a bartender. Highly recommended. read more

We recently hired Jason and his team to bartend and serve at our 40th birthday party. We were very pleased with how punctual, attentive, organized and responsive they all were. They came an hour and a half before the party and had everything set up and ready to go for us. It was truly a lovely evening...mostly because my husband and I knew that we were in good hands and didn't have to think or worry about logistics all night. We would use J Bartends again for sure. read more

Jason and his crew did a great job in communicating with us leading up to our event and then delivering on every bit of the agreed-upon tasks on the day. He was very accommodating to our specific requests and made sure we were totally satisfied with every part of the event.

Jason and his team were Amazing! They showed up early, were friendly and attentive, and the people at our office loved them. They also spent time after cleaning up and left the space immaculate. I would definitely use them again for our corporate events! read more

Cheers to Jason! Jason just helped us with bartending for my parents' anniversary party. He was very responsive to my questions beforehand, his job email and text. He came on time to set up his gorgeous bar. Throughout the whole event, he was so personable and helpful. Everyone really loved him. Many of my guests asked for me to forward his contact info. I highly recommend Jason, he is wonderful! read more

We had Jason and his staff work our wedding (87-ish people) this past Friday. I will always recommend J Bartends Co. to anyone that needs a local bartender and staff, for the following reasons: 1) Communication: Jason responds quickly and professionally to all your questions. While planning a wedding, I cannot stress enough how important this is, because he made our planning that much easier. After my initial email to him, he called me within a few hours, and we discusses what I wanted. He suggested some great ideas that I thought would be perfect, and we just went from there. He provided me with a great detailed quote within a few days. I had some other additions to it, so we re-worked it with no problem. We came up with a contract that was pretty much exactly what I wanted, and it was perfect. In the lead up to the wedding he'd check in with me regarding if I needed anything else, etc. 2) Price: He's extremely reasonable! He works within our price point, and just because you say "wedding" he doesn't jack up his rate (seen those in my wedding planning). His quote gets a great breakdown as well. Additionally, he suggested a party rental place (because I asked for suggestions) and charges a small fee (fraction of what the rental place charged) to pick them up and drop back off. So again, great price and this also ties back to great communication. Also, he doesn't do the "service charge" language in his contract. Which means that he's not arbitrarily collecting 20% and then not tipping his staff. (Small tip/rant here: if you are looking to hire any vendor, and they don't spell out tipping policies, then be very wary of whether they tip their workers. A "service charge" is not the same as "gratuity" and is a clever workaround.) J Bartends does not include tip in the contract, nor any "service charge", and so it's up to you to tip him and his staff as you see fit. 3) Service: Damn good service. We hired Jason and two servers to help out throughout the night. They were all very professional, friendly, accommodating, and just generally a pleasure to work with. They made sure everything went well, without any complications (at least none that I knew about, which is great for me because I was the bride and had enough stuff to stress about.) So thank you J Bartends Co., thank you Jason and your lovely staff for making our day that much easier to enjoy. For anyone who wants to hire a bartender, especially for your wedding (if you're in a non required vendor list venue), please consider J Bartends Co. for making your day that much easier and fun. read more

Jason and his team were great! They came and started working right away setting up and making sure everything is ready for the party of over 100 people. We had lots of kids at the party and they all loved Jason kids drink menu. read more

Jason set us up with his bartender colleague Raquel last night. It was a perfect experience. Jason gave me a clear shopping list for alcohol and fruit (we had a paella and sangria party). He set up a great bar at 11 and Raquel came before the party to get things flowing. The presence of a hosted bar made a huge difference, making the birthday dinner feel really special. Raquel was super friendly and could make any drink requested. read more

Jason and his team were on time and went above and beyond to make our event a big success. J Bartends was recommended and I would have to say that they were excellent in everything they did from the shopping list, set up, breakdown, the service as well as all the cleanup of the space. They event helped out with the catering service. I can't say enough for Jason and his team. We all were very pleased with their service. We will definitely use J Bartends again. Thank you Jason for everything, Cheers to a great 2018!! read more

Jason and Ron did a phenomenal job at my 50th birthday party. They arrived early and got everything set up in plenty of time before the guests arrived. They were extremely professional and kept the line at the bar to a minimum. Jason made sure that glasses and plates were picked up and walked around with wine when there was a lull at the bar. They also made sure that things were picked up before they left. I highly recommend them and would hire them again without a second thought. read more

Jason and Cheryl made our garden party a wonderful success. The planning was smooth and boy, did they deliver. Our guests commented that the cocktails were tailor-made to their tastes and this added to success of the party. Their setup and clean up only enhanced the overall experience. As hosts, having the bar run so well made our party more enjoyable for us. read more

We used Jason's team for a private dinner at our house. The servers were a complete delight - almost more fun to talk to than some of the guests! Jason helped us figure out what drink options to provide and the bartender made sure everyone's glass was full throughout the evening. Couldn't have asked for more! read more

Thanks to Jason and his bartender Ron, everyone had a blast at my husband's 50th birthday. Jason is totally on top of it. He helped with planning, and arrived earlier in the day to scope out the scene and drop off ice etc. Our bartender Ron was a true professional, and charming to boot. He arrived in plenty of time to set up a full bar spread. People were lining up for drinks and he worked fast and kept his calm. He offered to stay late when the bar area was still crowded, and cleaned up nicely. Jason came back the next day to pick up his equipment. Everyone had a blast at the party and it really took the pressure off to have such pros running things. Thanks Jason and Ron! read more

Book with confidence -- Jason is *everything* you hope for when you book a bartender for your party. As a party planner myself, I have very high expectations; so it gives me great pleasure to be able to recommend J Bartends enthusiastically. The booking process was easy; Jason was prompt, thorough, and courteous with all our planning discussions. On event day, Jason was on time, dressed professionally, and got straight to work setting up a great looking bar for my client. He has a warm, friendly personality and is always sporting a big smile -- just what we were hoping for to add energy and professionalism to our event. I'll definitely be calling upon Jason again in the future! read more

Jason bartended my 40th birthday and did an amazing job. Will definitely use again for future events and highly recommend! All our guests enjoyed the Margaritas and spoke very highly of him. read more
