I was a bit worried about not being able to cover everything and BBS helped me out a BUNCH! I spoke to Cristina and she hooked me into Taj (which I will be going back to --- plays the best music!) for my 21st birthday and it was nothing but a dream. I booked a table with BBS after reading such good reviews and being in contact with them and the night turned out to be a success! Had the Buy 1 Get 1 free deal and I spent a bit more than I was expecting but it was right around my budget so there were no worries! All my guests who came in on time came in with no problems whatsoever! Some came late and depending on the time there may have been an issue but never the less, it was still a great time and the best birthday! It was the perfect way to ring in 21! Will definitely be using them again, and referring people to them! Thank you again BBS!!! You made it the best bday ever! read more

Whatever "service" this company provides is completely useless. Cristina was helpful in answering the questions I had over email and confirmed my group was all set with a reservation at Monarch but by the time I got to the venue, my name was nowhere to be found on the list and nobody working there had any clue who Birthday Bottle Service was. I ended up starting from scratch and waited 15 minutes in the lobby with my group before being shown to a table. I was also told by Birthday Bottle Service that tables at Monarch had a 2 bottle, $700 minimum commitment. Guess what? That was also a lie. We just opened a tab with our server, charged all the drinks to the table and spent $250 for the whole night. In short, if you want to reserve a table/bottle service, go direct to the venue - BBS offers no value. read more

Christina stopped responding to my emails so I called them directly and had Lior book Monarch for my birthday. I got confirmation and I hoped everything is set. All I gotta do is show up with my friends and have a good time. The day of my party, went to Monarch and guess what? They had no resvartion under my name. I called Lior, and explained the situation. He rudely told me the reservation is there. However, the bouncer who has the list disagreed. Don't book through them! Ended up going to Stanford West Whiskey bar. They were so friendly to host me and my 15+ attendees at such a short notice. read more

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!! read more

In true procrastinating fashion, I waited till the day of to set up my party. I reached out to Abe and Cristina at BBS many times for other parties and as always, their professionalism and connections always came through. They were able to set us up at Gansevoort Park/Royalton Park and the night went off without a hitch. BBS is the best! read more

Abe Malkin reached out to me and changed my entire thoughts about his operation.He got us a complimentary table at a beautiful rooftop of my choice in the heart of Manhattan and showed me how him and his crew really work. His rep contacted me the day of and made sure that everything went smooth. I highly recommend his services, I will def use Birthday Bottle Service for my next event! read more

Abe is a horrible club liaison and basically managed to wreck my birthday. He is unable to manage or keep track of the number of emails and the clients he has. I told him countless times about the date and the venue I wanted to have my birthday party at. My friends and I got to the venue only to find out that he CANCELLED the reservation and I was basically left to my own devices. My guests who came to the venue later on in the night were told that I didn't have a birthday party there, it was absolutely frustrating, disappointing and embarrassing. I would choose another promoter to work with, don't waste your time with Abe Malkin's Birthday Bottle Service. read more

This was a very bad experience. I requested a 4 bottle service at Slate NYC for 9pm and when I arrived at 9:30 pm I was told there was a private party happening so I had to wait 30 minutes. After 30 minutes I was told I had to wait another 30 minutes and was told they didn't know I had requested a reservation for 9pm. They gave me 1 drink ticket per person of my party. So after that other half an hour I'm told to wait yet ANOTHER 30 minutes for them to get the table ready and the lady at the desk looked fed up I was even asking about it again. I waited with all my guests a total of 1.5 hours to just get the table. Then I had to wait ANOTHER 30 minutes for the bottles to show up. My guests and I spent a total of 2 HOURS waiting at the location to get these bottles. They tried making up for giving me a "free birthday sign" but honestly that didn't help make me feel better at all. I was so frustrated at this point and won't be recommending this service to anyone. read more

I let Cristina know that me and my sister were interested in doing our birthday party at The Ainsworth on 26th street, would have about 20-30 people come through, and just wanted a table with the comped bottle of sparkling wine. She helped make the reservation happen and all of my guests were directed to the table upon their arrival. It was a great time. Recommend for those that don't want to throw down on bottle service but want to have a reserved table. read more

Birthday Bottle Service - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Just used BBS for my Bachelorette Weekend in NYC! Thanks to Abe and his connects we had a fabulous time. I contacted Abe for the first time about two weeks ago and his correspondence was consistent and prompt. He provided options based on our preferences and even took time to explain why he would recommend one place over another. All of his suggestions were spot on, and made a completely difference in our overall experience. When we arrived at the Taj II, for some reason our name was not on every list that was printed out by the venue. I called Abe immediately, he answered immediately and I received a text from someone local I assume, to let me know they would sort out the issue immediately-- and so it was. Taj II had a super bizaar entry situation going on, which had nothing to do with BBS. I think it's definitely something to consider and tell potential patrons about in advance, so they don't freak out like I almost did. We were from out of town, where bottle service gets immediate entry and priority, and we were made to stand in line for 20 minutes while everything was sorted out. Also at this particular venue,far too many hands in the pot, so not everyone knew what was going on at in regards to anything. Since this was our first time going through a service, we all panicked thinking something went wrong, or that BBS wasnt legit-- luckily everything was quickly resolved! The only issue was that our group was 12 and BBS has no control over table size or seating. But our hostess was nice enough to not book anyone next to us for the entire night, so we had more than enough room--which we didnt use because we spent the night dancing! I will absolutely use BBS again. Thanks Abe ;-) read more

Abe was really super helpful in my quest to plan a party for my bday this past Saturday. I used the mobile form to sign up for the service, and I got responses super fast. I was even able to change my party size easily. I think the only things I would ask for, 1. more info on the clubs/parties that night, 2. ability to pick 3 options to submit in the online form to not have to do multiple queries for different spots. Thanks again Birthday Bottle Service! read more

Used Birthday Bottle Service for my 26th birthday and couldn't be happier that I did. Cristina was great the whole week leading up to the party keeping me updated and confirming that my group was on the list at the bar. When we got to Bounce, the line was long and they were no longer letting people in. I went to the front of the line and told the bouncer I had used BBS and he was able to get the list and let my whole party (20+) in immediately. Definitely will be using BBS in the future. read more

What is this and why don't we have it in Toronto??? Planning my sisters NYC bachelorette party for 15, all travelling from Canada, was a bit of a hassle until I found Birthday Bottle Service!! I emailed them and it almost seemed too good to be true - buy one get one bottles?? I was suspicious but booked for the Monarch Rooftop. When we arrived the line was massive but we got right in, seated at our table and served up our one paid and one FREE bottle! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them - I can't believe how easy and quick it was! Thanks Abe and Cristina, next time I will certainly be in touch with you!! read more

I really had a terrific time planning my 24th birthday party with Abe! He was fast, and friendly via e-mail, and made sure to address all of my concerns. He even put up with my litany of questions about the venue (SlateNY) and about how everything was going to be set up. I ended up having a great night. He'll really take care of you! The only suggestion I would make is for him to add communication or correspondence and with the actual venue as part of the confirmation process. When I arrived, Slate did not have all of the details about my party, but the problem was quickly solved. Also, I should mention that you still have to pay a tax and service charge on the complementary bottle...don't forget! read more

I've seen the "Birthday Bottle Service" adds and their FB for a while and always wondered how they do it..... So, when planning on of my BFF's birthday this year, I was slightly apprehensive. But I needed help. Its winter. Its cold. I needed to make sure the party had something to bring out the masses. Booze is generally a no brainer in that department. So I bit the bullet and contacted BBS. To my surprise, my email was answered within moments. Cristina contacted me to let me know that I had a nice long list of places to choose from for the 31 Jan Friday night birthday celebration. I confirmed with her that the bottle and entry were truly free. (As expected we would need to pay tip and tax on the bottle). My list kept changing, one day it was 8 people the next I had close to 30. Cristina did not flinch, and said not to worry all she needed was my information and that whoever wanted to come can just say my name at the door. This is SO much easier than providing a list of names! After a quick review of the official list of available venues, and a lot of back and fourth- I decided to pick Aspen Social Club. The location is perfect, and I had never been. It was a hard decision, because all the venue's I saw listed were fabulous! But, I made the right choice. Our hotel was only 3 blocks away and it was in the middle of super bowl weekend so that just added to the party! Even though Aspen is right there at Times Square, it was not overly crowded and the staff were super attentive! Come the day of the party Cristina had emailed me to re-confirm our party- which was great, it set my mind at ease with our reservations. I had read some Yelp reviews about people having issues at the door- and working in the nightlife industry I am aware that sometimes even the best laid plans can get "lost" with the doorman. Well, not here. The woman at the door seemed sincerely happy to see us and willing to do anything to make sure we were happy. Our server was sweet as can be and not one person seemed to mind that my 30 person list was now only 8 people. (I know they must have hoped for more...so that we would buy some additional drinks! And I felt horrible that I couldn't provide that!) Once seated, we had been there all of 5 minutes and out came our beautiful server with a HUGE bottle of vodka and a pretty sparkler that single handedly made the birthday girls night! I never had to call Cristina, because everything went so well. However, had I needed to she provided me with additional emails and phone numbers- so I truly think I would have been fine either way. Everything was professional, courteous and well planned. To say im impressed is an understatement. Ive been bragging to everyone from the owner of my PR agency to my coworkers to my best friends. I plan on using Birthday Bottle Service again- and often! I work in the nightlife industry, and throw parties on a very regular basis. I know this stuff is not always easy- and often things don't go as planned. But the way our night went this weekend, youd have no idea! And-now im the birthday girls favorite person, she thinks I did so much and worked so hard to make her birthday perfect. I almost feel a little guilty- I didn't lift a FINGER! In addition, we all loved Aspen so much we plan on going back this weekend. Definitely made a life time customer out of all of us! read more

Went with Birthday Bottle Service again for a last minute event and they made the night fun and easy! Once everyone got there, we were brought to our table and served almost immediately! My party was super impressed with the ease of the night and how well we were taken cared of. Shout out to Cristina for being my main contact! read more

Have been working with Cristina for the past three years now for joint birthdays, and she's always helped us throw a smooth event. Will continue to use them for the future! Highly recommended if you are looking for help in throwing a fun smooth event :-) read more

Cristina and team are quite amazing! This review is long overdue. Used them a few months ago for my birthday and the experience couldn't have been better. The one thing I *hate* about living in NYC is having to plan birthdays without paying an arm and a leg. Enter BBS. The great thing about BBS is they help connect you with a venue and they arrange a complimentary table for you! No headache, no breaking-the-bank and no unnecessary planning. Cristina was patient and helpful as I was picking a place to host my party. She was very responsive via email throughout. Ultimately, we decided on Open House. When we arrived, there was a hostess with Open House who had my name and showed us to our table. My guests didn't have trouble getting in even though the place was packed. The party was great, although in hindsight, the venue is not good for larger groups (25+). Would highly recommend BBS for anyone looking to plan a stress-free and fun birthday! read more

Hi Yelpers, I heard about this place from some co-workers. I was looking to spend my birthday at a bar with 20+ of my closest friends and it turned out great. Super friendly client service and help. We went to Open House in the Lower East Side and was quickly shown to our table and bottle. We had a wonderful time and will be using this service soon again. Thanks read more

This service is a complete scam! PLEASE BEWARE. We were told we're going to get a 2 for 1 bottle deal at Vandal ($500 per bottle). We were charged more. Also, upon entry we had to talk to a manager in order to be seated since the bouncer said we didn't have a reservation. Jeff, our planner from Blue Bottle Service, still has yet to respond after we've tried to get in touch with him multiple times about being overcharged. Please do not use this service for your sake! read more

Came across this on Yelp when I was trying to figure out plans for a friend's birthday party. Filled out the form on the website and Abe got back to me later that day. Abe and Cristina set us up with a table at Hudson Terrace for a group of 12 and from there all we had to do was show up! Super professional and attentive, even making sure to send a reconfirmation email on the day of the party. Overall a great experience and I think I will definitely be using this again the next time we're looking to go out with a big group. Thanks! read more

Cristina was quick to respond to my emails and very attentive. She knew how to navigate the night life scene to help me celebrate my girlfriend's 28th birthday. We receive great service at the Monarch, and there were no issues at all at the door. We had a large group too. It was an excellent service from start to finish. Cristina even checked in after the event to see how everything went. I wish I had known about BBS years ago. I will be letting my friend's know about this group. read more

I seriously can not say enough amazing things about this company. When I first stumbled across their website, I was super skeptical. I definitely thought their offerings were too good to be true, but as I was desperately trying to plan a last-minute birthday party, I decided to give them a shot. After submitting my request form, I immediately received a response from Cristina answering my first round of questions. I had a thousand more questions from there, and Cristina and Abe quickly and graciously responded to every single one. After running me through a list of options, we decided to go with the free VIP list at Bounce. After giving Cristina a list of nearly 30 names, I was still nervous that it was too good to be true. She assured me that as long as everyone from my party was there by 11:30, we would be good to go. Sure enough, every single person who came to the party (25+) and mentioned my name at the door got in seamlessly and without question. I was shocked! Needless to say I will be using this service again, especially for the awesome buy-1-get-1 bottle deals they offer at incredible clubs. You guys are the absolute best! Thanks for making my birthday so special and stress-free :) read more

I used this service 2 years ago for my 23rd birthday party that I had at the Gansevoort. It was an amazing time which was 5/5. So for my 25th birthday I decided to use this service again. I booked for the Sky Room with bottle service. I emailed the service to book with just one bottle instead of the buy 2 get 3. Cristina responded promptly and said that it was okay to make my reservation with one bottle. So my reservation was confirmed with one bottle and approximately 10 guests. I got to the venue at 11 with 8 people in my party and the promoter and the door said that I needed to get another bottle. Although I explained to him that I had reserved one, he said that it's 1 bottle/ 4 people or everyone had to pay a $20 cover charge. So I got another bottle and asked if we would get another bottle since it's buy 2 get 1 free. He said no its has to be arranged ahead of time. I contacted Cristina and she said to ask for marsha or max which I did and I was able to get the 3rd bottle free. It was just an inconvenience because I didn't tell the people in my party and I ended up paying for the 2 bottles when I confirmed with just one bottle for that amount of people. I could have planned better. In all, we still had a great time. Next time I'll just call the lounge myself and confirm everything because it seems that there was a miscommunication. read more

Birthday Bottle Service - The sky room, 25th birthday! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Abe and Cristina were so kind and helpful. They were extremely quick to respond to all of my emails and texts and were a pleasure to work with in planning my friend's birthday party. We had an incredible evening - there were no issues when we got to the venue (even though there was a line running down half the block), they got me the table I requested and the package we wanted. Needless to say, it was perfect. I will definitely use them to plan events in the future!! read more

The customer service with BBS was great and everything was as billed. We did the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal at The DL for our friend's bachelor party and the process was seamless. We worked with Cristina from BBS, who was prompt and comprehensive in her responses to my many questions regarding logistics, payment, etc. The DL itself has gotten a slightly more "meatpacking-y" crowd than before, which has its positives and negatives. So take that for what it's worth. But in general I would definitely recommend the DL (Isabella was a great server) and especially BBS to help organize your next big event with your friends. read more

Awesome service. Quick replies and follow ups. I planned my bday for around 20 people at Chantelle Hotel, and everything went smoothly. The staff knew who I was, everyone has been able to get in easily. Definitely recommended! read more

I celebrated a joint birthday party using BBS at Gansevoort Park and I couldn't have made a better choice. They make you feel super special and take care of everything for you, no hassles!!! Cristina made sure to check in with me and took care of my guest list before I got there. She answered every question I had and concerns about the venue via email. She was quick to follow up with me!!! So thank you Cristina and BBS!!! You guys made such a memorable night for me and my friends!!!!! read more

Cristina helped me organize and did a stellar job. Be sure to plan atleast 5-7 days in advance as going back and forth will take a couple of days. Bit slow to respond, but did a thorough job. I got an email the day off with contact info in case I had any issues, which i thankfully didn't have to use. Was a birthday party for 25 people at gansevoort park, got a 1000 minimum spend with 1 comp for the red room. My guests had no issues getting in, although I did 'tip' extremely well to ensure this. Overall, great experience, highly recommend Cristina and her team. read more

Cristina from BBS was very helpful in setting up our party at Gansevoort Park and promptly replied to my emails and answered the zillion questions I had. Some guests that arrived later on had to wait in line (known for having an annoying door, we made sure to tell people to arrive closer to 11:30pm, which no one did). Once they got to the front though, it was smooth sailing with the guest list. We were honored our additional bottle with no hassle, and ended up ordering even more to accommodate our large party. Will be sure to use BBS for the next time we need bottle service! read more

I had a club that I was booked for close the week before my birthday party was supposed to happen. Thankfully my dad for this site online. Cristina was our person who helped me find a new club, set me up with a table and bottles, and booked it all within 3 days. She was quick to respond to emails and very efficient. She did a great job checking in on me confirming before the party, hours before the party and even after to make sure everything was perfect. And it definitely was. All of my friends had a great time. She even offered to stop by and gave her number in case of emergencies. Luckily, we didn't have any. I'd highly recommend them! read more

Planned my 30th birthday with them and they were great. Super responsive (even at 11pm on a Saturday night during my party when I needed them). Totally pulled through. Set everything up and I had no trouble getting my friends in to the club and on the guest list. Give you the option to buy one bottle and get one free which is awesome and totally worth it!! They are very friendly, organized, easy to work with and have great venues on their list to have a party at! read more

Birthday Bottle Service was amazing! Cristina was great at communicating via email and working with me and my party size that seem to vary everyday from the original amount of people I told her were initially coming. Arrived by 11:30 as she should I should, was taken to the table right away with no problem and ordered the bottles later in the night without a hassle. Prices were great as well and matched what they had on site. Which was very affordable for NYC bottle service (M1-5) Had a blast. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone! read more

Cristina helped me book a bottle and table at Slate this past weekend and it turned out amazing!!!! I emailed them asking for a quote and Cristina was super quick to answer any of my questions. The day before the event she emailed us a confirmation and told us if there was any trouble to contact her! If you are ever looking for a bottle at a club in NYC, look no further! Can't wait to contact them on my next event!! THANK YOU again!! read more

Cristina is truly awesome. We stayed in contact up until the day of my event. She made sure everything was good to go. I will use their services again. Thank you again for giving me a memorable birthday night. You guys rock. read more

Birthday Bottle Service - My childhood friend of 20 years, Nancy and Me. Celebrating 35 years!!! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Great service, everything went very smooth with my reservations at Katra. I would recommend.

Used Birthday Bottle Service to celebrate my 30th birthday at Co-op at the Rivington Hotel. Cristina G was helpful, responsive, and gave me the best possible deal she could. She made sure everything was handled and taken care of, as well as followed up with me a day after the event to ask how my party went. I ended up reserving two tables; and the waitresses gave me the correct bottle deal that was requested with no questions. I had 50+ people for my birthday; and there were absolutely no issues at the door. Will definitely be recommending Cristina and Birthday Bottle Service as well as use their services in the future. Thanks! read more

Given their awesome reviews and the free bottle deal, I decided to go through birthdaybottleservice to book my party at XVI lounge for about 30 people but it was a disaster from the beginning. I get to the place with couple of my friends and the people at the door have no idea about my reservation. So now I'm outside frantically calling the customer service contact, forwarding emails, and etc to sort this out. Meanwhile, my friends are just gathering outside standing around... embarrassing. I get a call back from the customer service lady but I'm told we can't go up for another 30 mins. I tell her that I can't have my friends wait that long and eventually she sorted it out and we got in. We get in and the lounge staff is scrambling to set us up with a table and they decide to give us a tiny section which can sit at best 3-4 people... unreal. This is when I give up going back and forth with birthdaybottleservice, take matters into my own hands, and talk to the manager at the place. We were eventually able to work it out, get a nice roomy section in the outdoor area, and salvage the night. The free bottle was cool I guess... which by the way is not from the bottle menu. It's just some cheap house bottle which no one has heard of. I ended up ordering enough bottles to get a free champagne from the place so yea... don't get too excited about that buy one get one bottle free deal. For what it's worth, staff at birthdaybottleservice seemed nice and friendly. They were responsive and helpful when I had any questions. The problem was that they just couldn't get the job done. I wouldn't recommend going through them.... risk is too high and the reward is not that great. If you have a place you want to go to, call them up yourself and plan it yourself. You can usually work out a similar deal where you get something for free. read more

Loved this service and would definitely use it again for other events... My gf found them through google & their accommodations met what I was looking for... I had my birthday celebration @ Ava Lounge, not only was the staff super nice but the waitress Sarah was the best, she made sure everything went smoothly... Cristina of Bottle Service is the best, she kept the communication lines open regardless of what she was doing, she was very attentive.. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone.. Thanks so much read more

Birthday Bottle Service - Birthday celebration at Ava Lounge... Awesome time - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I got to know about this service thru Facebook I believe, not sure. Nonetheless, I have been a big fan of this unique service and their organization. Everyone is amazingly responsive and planning yours or your friend's birthday becomes "piece of cake" with them. My first experience wasn't 5 star worthy as the Gansevoort where I had planned my friend's birthday - we were promised one free bottle if we buy one. We happily bought 2 and still got charged for 3rd ! It's perhaps Gansevoort Park that was the issue, but outside of that blip, Birthday Bottle service has been amazing. Recently I requested them to help with another venue for my birthday, where right from booking VIP table and guest along with complimentary Champagne was super smooth. Cristina and Abe pretty much run the show and how good ! I'm a fan and will continue to refer their service to friends. read more
