If you are a bride and groom looking for a professional company then don't hire KBS. If you are a…read morebride or groom looking for a bartender(s) to drink with guests and party right along with you then hire KBS. I hired KBS for my August 10th wedding at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. Kevin, the CEO, and 2 other bartenders worked my event. tMaybe one out of three was decent. Kevin ran his own show which annoyed the crap out of me on my big day. And one of the bartenders did not know how to make the "Bride's Drink" (Moscow Mule) the day of the wedding despite Kevin knowing weeks in advance what was going to be on the menu. Very frustrating. I guess we got what we paid for. The only reason we hired KBS was because they undercut another company we were considering - big mistake because KBS sacrifices quality. All communications and interactions with Kevin were good leading up to my wedding but looking back, was a complete waste of our time. My wedding my husband and I feel we were promised a service we did not receive. We believe Kevin lied to us about his credentials. The worst part of dealing with Kevin the day of my wedding was when I went to address an issue with him at the start of dinner service. I went to find out why he or his bartenders were not serving wine and he tried to brush me off by saying he was going on break - WORST TIME TO TELL A BRIDE YOU ARE GOING ON BREAK. I told him I would like 2 bartenders to go serve wine and one bartender to keep the bar open because dinner service was running so slowly. He seemed to ignore my request and gave other instructions to his bartenders as I walked away. I did not like what I heard at the end of my wedding, the next day, and what I have seen in pictures and videos. Several guests had drinks before the wedding which I explicitly requested no drinks be served before the ceremony. According to several guests, Kevin was strolling around the venue, taking pictures and videos, when he should have been working. You can check out a picture Kevin took with me and my husband on facebook. Kevin thinks everyone, including my husband, were very pleased with his service. Kevin, know that we made it a point to enjoy our wedding and address any issues after the wedding, which I am doing now. My sister (maid of honor) caught Kevin taking video of my guests dancing on the dance floor, and several guests told me they saw him lingering and hitting on female guests. I was disgusted by the stories I heard the next day. I also heard Kevin was rude to some female guests, including my mother when she asked for wine after the bar has "closed." My mom was not only offended by the way she was treated but she even more upset that you threw away the 1.75L engraved bottle of grey goose she bought specifically to display at the wedding. We had 2 specially engraved liquor bottles to display at the bar; you failed to display them and failed even more by throwing the bottles away at the end of the night. It really appeared as if Kevin felt he could do whatever he wanted because he owns the company. He appeared more focused on having fun and partying with my guests than executing quality service. Even if some guests befriended Kevin and made him feel it was ok to join the party, I would have liked Kevin to keep it professional and decline any invitations to drink or join the party. Kevin did not conform to the idea I had for my wedding. There were rules of the venue I communicated in advance to Kevin and he either forgot or completely ignored them - such as all beer be served in plastic cups or no alcohol served before the ceremony to non-wedding party guests. One positive, Kevin and his bartenders arrived early and started working immediately. Other than that, I would not hire KBS ever again. Several of my friends over the last year have gotten engaged and are planning their wedding and I have made a point to tell them not to hire KBS.

Update: My original review got removed because I also posted to his other location in Los Angles…read more Same guy. If you look at my other reviews, I rarely, if ever, say anything too bad. But my blood pressure is spiking again as I relive the nightmare. Synopsis: HE DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP. I was the wedding coordinator for a couple, who are practically family to me. I confirmed with all of the vendors a month before the wedding. Kevin did not pick up his phone. Fine, I left a voicemail. The groom also contacted Kevin and spoke to him on the phone and if you look at how organized everything was, you'd know there was NO MISCOMMUNICATION. Oh, and there was a $300 deposit. Fast forward to 1 week before the wedding, more confirmation calls. No answer. LVM again. 1 day before the wedding, e-mailed him and got an auto-reply. "Thank you for your email, Due to the high number of inquires we are experiencing, we will get back to you within 24-48 hours of your contact, if this is urgent and your event is this week, please call (858) 342-9606 and we will get back to you asap." Let me ask you, brides/grooms, is this what you want to expect before your big day? Day of wedding: Kevin was supposed to arrive at 4PM. 4:15PM Called him and there is not even a way to leave a voice message. Great. 4:30PM called my friends to have them back up. Thank you friends, you saved the day. Do you, brides/grooms, have a bartender to pull out of a hat? Meanwhile, the couple are having their wedding ceremony. The bride is like a sister to me. I actually know the groom and we all traveled overseas together. I've spent the last month working with the bridal party, friends, and family. This was a moment to be shared with them. Instead, I'm running around like a chicken without a head trying to figure out WHERE IS KEVIN???? We may get our monetary refund, but how do you refund MEMORIES? I MISSED THE DANG CEREMONY! There were tears, there were once in a lifetime feels, there was love, and there was happiness. Was I there for it? No. Cocktail hour was cancelled. Guests did not have champagne in their flutes to toast because of the late last minute change. Melted ice was spilled all over the floor (which would be another $60 for repairs from the venue) because Kevin was supposed to bring coolers for the ice. We had to MacGyver some trashcans to make due. Almost ruined the bride's day when I had to tell them what happened. Hindsight is 20/20. The groom was swayed by the positive reviews here. If you are looking for a bartender for your wedding, don't be a sucker. There are other reviews here where he has not shown up and there is an additional complaint on the Better Business Bureau. His response to us was that he was/is out of town. He has a staff. Utilize them. Honestly, no empty apologies will ever suffice. So don't even bother.

I called today after filling out the online request for info about 10-12 days ago, then emailing about a week ago. When Joe answered the phone this morning, I was relieved to know they were around and could answer some questions. When Joe went into his spiel of asking ME questions, he got very upset if I'd need to stop him for clarification. He was annoyed I didn't have a more specific time than "evening" for the party that I'm in the midst of planning. He was condescending when I said my husband was "into mixology and had been to some of their places" which was I guess the wrong thing to say (??) -- [they have a list of all of the speak-easy-type places and bars in which their mixologists have worked so...?]. When he asked if we had a bar in our house, I said we could rent one -- that also annoyed him. He told me they were very expensive, he also said something about protecting themselves from our guests being rude to his mixologists bc they're young? WTF Joe was super arrogant and told me he'd been doing this a long time and if I would just let him speak this would go better. I was not interrupting him and if I ever did, I would say, "I'm so sorry, let me just stop you for a second..." before clarification. Then he said if you want to talk to somebody else, which I wrongly assumed meant someone AT HIS COMPANY who could clarify things, he told me to go to a different company and to have a nice day. Wow.

Awesome Beverage Service for Parties & Special Events!…read more SITREP I recently attended a special event hosted at the ICIS Apartment Homes, and N2 Mixology was the wonderful outfit that provided the drink options & the beverage service to all of us attendees. THE SETUP There was both a main bar area in the upstairs lounge area of the Office for ICIS Apartment Homes. [It has a wonderful vibe of a trendy club, with lots of space and great furnishings.] This set-up permitted the good people at N2 Mixology to prepare the drinks at the bar, as well as set-up server platters full of drinks to distribute. And so I have to say right off how impressed I was with N2 Mixology's ability to cover such a large crowd of people (upward towards 200 by my own personal count). THE BAR Oh my goodness! There were so many delicious cocktail creations, and a shout-out needs to go here about the featured talents of Niko Novick and his crew from N2 Mixology. THE AWESOME REP Since starting N2mixology LLC back in 2011, Novick has been busy consulting with other bars, helping design some of the set-ups around town for new establishments. He has also been busy being booked for many shows after-parties, including the Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, and Toronto Film Fest two years in a row. The guy and his team's drinks are amazing, and the adding of dry ice gives some of the drinks I loved in particular since it gave a very mystical ambiance as they smoke up! THE LOWDOWN I love N2 Mixology and their beverage making and serving talents. They are your "go-to" vendor if you want to arrange a special event where classy drink preparation is a must.
