I love love love DeGruv and Eddena is fantastic! We just used DeGruv for a fundraising event (2nd year in a row!) and she and her colleague, Jordan, were great! They took great care of our guests, were professional, and made the drinks portion of the night easy as can be! In addition, Eddena worked with my crazy self trying to figure out last minute cocktails and provided great advice on garnish, mixers, etc. She even made the cinnamon simple syrup we used! I would recommend Eddena and her team anytime. My "problem" is I will always want Eddena at the event! :) read more

I used DeGruv Liquid Catering for a holiday party that I threw for 100 people in December and had a great experience. Eddena was easy to work with and the bartenders showed up on time and stayed even later than they were supposed to as my party was still going strong at the end of the shift. I provided the ice, alcohol, cups and garnishes and they brought napkins, straws, mixing equipment and tables. The prices are reasonable and the process was super easy and seamless. I would definitely recommend DeGruv to anyone looking for bartenders to help with a small or large party. read more

"The best catering, mobile bar tending/bartenders services & exotic foods you can have." Nguyen, Yelp Elite '15. Good: Attended their successful event at the Mercedes dealership, hired the company twice for my father's 60th, and aunt wedding. Professional, friendly staffs. Bad: none I can think of. They can really cook virtually almost cuisines. I still miss tasting their Jerk Chicken, from almost 10 years ago. If I get marry, one day, this is my preferred caterer. read more

We hired De Gruv Catering for my daughter's wedding as the bartenders. Eddena and her husband who own the catering service were amazing. We had around 200 guest and at first it looked like the line was for beverages was going to be a 20 minute wait all night long, but they got it under control and our guest never had to wait again. They were professional and courteous and believe it or not the best price when I looked into bartenders. They came highly recommended by our venue "Green Gates on Flowing Lake and I now know why!! Thank you DeGruv for making my daughter's wedding "flow" so seamlessly all night long!! Maggie Snohomish read more

Degruv Liquid Catering & Events catered my daughters wedding and it was a great success. The setup was nice and the servers and bartenders was friendly and professional. I was really impressed by the way they made use of a small backyard and turned it into a lovely wedding venue and then a smooth transition to a reception venue. They were also able to hook us up with a last minute DJ. Degruv really came through. read more

See all

I called DeGruv to handle the bar for our company holiday party. Eddena was EXACTLY who I was looking for. She knows her stuff, she is responsive and we were so happy with the service. Definitely going to see repeat business from me! read more

DeGruv Liquid Catering & Events, and specifically Eddena herself, was the bartender for our wedding rehearsal dinner. She was an ease to work with to get the logistics set up, was on site and set up when I arrived, and was an incredibly professional and engaging bartender. She is a people person who knows her stuff and will also go above and beyond to understand the dynamics and personalities of the people she is serving. Without going into too much detail, she dealt with challenging situations with smoothness and finesse, and received many compliments from my friends and family for her service. I received her name from a trusted friend of mine, and I would not hesitate to use her again, or refer her to someone else. read more

Degruv bartender Eddena was outstanding. Excellent service, and everyone loved her service. Will use Degruv again.

Eddena and her people worked their butts off for our wedding! Right now, this is a small company, but Eddena commits to doing something and she makes it happen, even though they are very busy. (I think on the weekend of our wedding, she mentioned they had 8 events.) But Eddena was there, personally, making sure that we had everything we needed, when we needed it. We had two bartenders and a bar back running two bars, and our guests (as well as our parents) were impressed with all of them. If the bride's mom is happy, then everyone's happy! read more

DeGruv Catering is, dollar for dollar, the best bartending service in Seattle. Eddena is a professional. She was pleasant and solid to work with leading up to the event, answering questions, offering services and then she just rocked the wedding. Her and her team of bartenders helped me forget all the planning and managing and just enjoy myself because they had it. They took care of business and everyone was satisfied. Words cannot say enough. I'd recommend Eddena and DeGruv Catering with the utmost confidence! *UPDATE* It has been 6 months since I contracted DeGruv catering to bartend our weddign reception. I have yet to receive a framed print that was on the bar top at the event that one of the bartenders packed up accidentally. Eddena and I contacted each other and swapped other confused items after the event. I still haven't gotten the picture back... If you think you are starting a potentially long-lasting business relationship with DeGruv catering, think again. After they're paid, you are yesterday's news. A further update: Eddena saw my last update on Yelp! and was apologetic and prompt in rectifying the situation. She was professional and polite, as always, and has re-confirmed my belief that DeGruv Liquid Catering is a classy organization and well worth contacting for your bartending needs. read more

Hands down one of the worse caters I have ever experienced in 25+ in event production. Don't give them any money in advance.

Eddena and Degruv Liquid Catering did a fabulous job on our dinner for college students. Eddena was able to pick up the pieces from a previous caterer we had hired that did not work out and really exceeded our expectations in record time. Eddena and her staff were attentive, detail orientated and a joy to work with. The food was also very good. We look forward to using Degruv for our next event. Thomas Rainier Scholars read more

I'm a little late on the review here, but I worked with Eddena and crew to cater and bartend our 90 person wedding reception on August 29th. Despite power outages in various parts of Seattle and trees down in the roads, they quickly got everything set up and everyone loved them! Eddena was very easy to work with and really made the event go smoothly. Very cost effective and flexible! I also loved the various bartending packages they offered. We purchased the beer, wine, and liquor, but it was so nice to have them purchase the mixers for us. She also made sure that we had the right equipment for our kegs (because I was very clueless about all of this). I felt like I was in very good hands from the moment we started working with Eddena. I highly recommend this company and if I ever need another event catered, I will absolutely call DeGruv! read more

DeGruv Liquid Catering provided the bartending for our recent 3rd Annual Splunk Seattle Open House. Wow! Hands down awesome experience having them provide the bartending for our event. They arrived professionally dressed, their bar setup was nicely done, prior to the event they assisted with specialty cocktail selection and advised on how much supplies would be needed. In addition to having two bartenders for the event they also provided a third person to assist with serving food. For the high level of professional and quality service they provide they are very reasonably priced. No hesitation here, if you need a bartender for your event give Eddena at DeGruv a call ! read more

DeGruv was hired earlier this month to cater a celebration dinner for our non-profit organization, and they did an amazing job! Over 150 people attended our sit-down dinner, and the food/service was great. All courses (salad, main, dessert) were delicious. I ordered the fish, and my fiancé ordered the chicken. Both of us were very pleased with our meal. Not only was the food great, but the staff was courteous, attentive, and professional the entire evening. I will definitely recommend them for future events we host, as well as to my friends & family in the area! read more

We have used Eddena and her company several times for our party's. We have had party's that have ranged in size from 35 to over 100. Her and her entire staff are always so helpful and professional. Once they arrive I don't have to worry anymore about the details surrounding our night. Our guests always say how great they were and what great service they received. We will use her for all our party's!! read more

Eddena is helpful and easy to work with, supplies were included with her quote which eliminated us having to do the extra work. We used their bartending and decoration services for our 60 person wedding. Each experience is different, however I see an opportunity for their staff to be a little more organization on the day of the event. We covered the agenda for the day about two weeks prior to the day of. However, right before walking down the aisle I was asked "who walks down with who again?", then "who are the people who sit in the front row, what do they look like?". Perhaps communication approach or choice of words when interacting could be handled differently. As a bride and a coordinator myself, this caused anxiety right before walking down the aisle and made me doubt if we were all on the same page (which set the tone for the event). Overall, their prices are cost effective and we received what we asked for. Thanks again! read more

I really wish I could give 5 stars... the portable bar setup looked amazing and it was great working with Eddena since she provided a list of what to purchase but... they arrived at my wedding a little later than I would have liked (I was starting to worry they weren't going to show up!) and that just added stress to my day. Also, they announced "Last call" 2 hours before the end of the reception. Luckily, they were flexible and ended up staying later so that wasn't a huge issue. I heard from a few guests that they were given a hard time when they tried to order a drink. One guest was told they ran out of cups, then the next day during cleanup we noticed about 75 cups leftover. Overall, we weren't disappointed but it was not what we expected. read more

Eddena was nothing short of amazing! She showed up on time, set up, and blew my guest away! I plan on using DeGruv, and over again! Thank You so much! read more

We hired DeGruv Liquid Catering for our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. Their staff is professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. Prior to the wedding, Eddena was more than willing to answer all of our questions and she was very thorough and made sure that she knew what we needed, even down to making sure that the bar had decorations on it that matched our wedding colors. Guests at the wedding commented on how great they thought the service was as well. And, to top it all off, Degruv is very reasonably priced. I would definitely hire Degruv Liquid Catering again for another event, and I would most certainly recommend them to anyone. read more

We originally wanted Edeena to bartend our son's wedding but after talking with her she ended up catering, and officiating. Edeena was wonderful, the food was great, she helped with setup and organizing, And then married our son and daughter in law. The staff was amazing and she made the whole event run smooth. We were very lucky to have found her and can't thank her enough. read more

We hired Degruv Liquid Catering for our New Years party this year and I can't say enough about this small company. Eddena came early, set up her bar, got organized, poured sensational drinks, interacted with our guests, and generally created an extremely fun but professional "bar" environment. She handled everything; we relaxed and enjoyed our party. Our guests loved her, we loved her - you cannot go wrong with this bartending service, trust me. read more

DeGruv and Eddena were fantastic! We hired them to set up the bar/be bar staff at our wedding. They even set up the bar to your wedding colors. We recieved a ton of compliments from guests saying how much they LOVED them. They worked their butts off keeping our thirsty guests happy! They were even out in the cold, no complaints, smile on their faces, making our guests laugh (they were supposed to be told to set up inside but there ended up not being room so they had to set up outside where the buffet table was).These guys were great!! read more

Yikes ... The bar was bottled fizzy fruit drinks with alcohol for $12. "Lunch " was chicken with steamed freezer waffles. Cheese cubes and salami. read more

We chose DeGruv to bartend our wedding this August and we are so happy with our decision! Eddena was easy to work with, pleasant, organized, professional, and patiently answered all of my questions via email and phone. She made a custom list of all of the items we needed for the drinks we wished to serve at our wedding. She made sure her bartenders arrived in time so that they would not interrupt our ceremony and would be set up to start on time. The bartenders were dressed professionally and made great drinks! They didn't make drinks that you are disappointed in when you take a couple of sips and realize that they skimped on the alcohol. They made a good solid drink! Our guests were thrilled with the bar and kept those bartenders busy all night. All of our guests complimented us on them. The bar was a huge piece of our wedding reception and we are so happy that DeGruv was so good to us. DeGruv knows how to run a business, give good customer service, and make great drinks! They were so professional and organized that there was no direction from us on the day of. So pleased! They are great quality for an affordable price. You will not be disappointed with DeGruv :) read more

I have hired Degruv for the past 2yrs. If you want the Best professionalism money can pay for look no further! There are many levels from timeliness to knowledge of the biz and paramount in my book ease of Mind knowing that part of your event is handled. Degruv comes very highly recommended and worth every penny and then some! I travel a very high amount so when I come in to town and set up for something I have a high level of expectation that things will be handled and not babysit it. If Degruv didn't meet your expectations it's because you didn't open your soup cooler and say what you want in advance or your just cheap. Communication is everything and I doubt when you know what you want in a deal your crystal clear in your delivery. You get what you pay for! So don't have reserves about paying what they are worth. My clients and family love the service hands down. This is a first class service! read more

10 stars for DeGruv! This is the second time they've helped us out with a party - didn't think they could get better, but they did and will be my go-to for anything in the future! Eddena is quick to respond and super helpful during the whole pre-planning process. Their extensive menu makes it easy to fit things in your budget with out any compromises. Day of the event - they are timely, professional and pull together all the last minutes details with out a hitch - which is HUGE because it makes it easier for the host/hostess to relax and enjoy the party too. Eddena's bartending skills are second to none, she remembers every guest's drink after the first round, she's fun, friendly and the guests all loved her. The prime rib carving station was cooked to perfection, the platters where gorgeously arranged and all of the passed appetizers were absolutely delish! :) This party wasn't even over and we were all planning the next one. I definitely look forward to working with Eddena and her crew again and would highly recommend them for any event! read more
