The program is well-structured, hands-on, and truly prepares you for real-world experience. Danika is an exceptional instructor--knowledgeable, supportive, and consistently brings positive energy to every class. Her guidance and advice made a significant impact on my learning. From my experience, this program is absolutely worth the time and investment.

This was the most poorly organized & operated program I've attended. The instructors and the owner…read moredo not communicate at all and both gave contradicting information to the students. Through my stay in this class the main instructor unprofessional as well as the owner of the program Patricia. The material that we were taught was half- assed. The entire program felt like a bait and switch and things that were promised simply did not exist. Besides that there was so much drama between the owner and the instructors and I never signed up for a soap opera drama. Please do NOT waste your money on this school and find a better option if you truly want to become a bartender

We had originally planned to have Ryan host our photobooth at our wedding in April 2020, but due to…read moreCOVID, we postponed until 2021. Then my (now) husband and I found out we were pregnant and opted to cancel the wedding entirely. I reached out to Ryan in August letting him know and requesting a refund (since I had paid in full) of the amount minus the deposit. He responded, not a problem, but then I never received an email back on how I would get the refund. I've now followed up via email and phone call. Seems like he is ignoring me. I understand that this is a hard time for everyone, but to be withholding money over the deposit, is another level of low. I'd save my money and work with a more reliable and legitimate company.

They were super professional, friendly, and clearly know their craft. They kept the drinks flowing all night and made some seriously great cocktails. My guests couldn't stop talking about how good the drinks were and how fun the bartenders were. They also brought great energy to the party, interacted with everyone, and made the whole bar area feel like a highlight of the night. Hosting a party can be stressful, but having them there made everything run smoothly and let me actually enjoy my own birthday. If you're planning a party or event and need bartenders, I can't recommend The Mobile Intoxicologists enough!! Gabriel and Christina helped make my 40th birthday unforgettable. Cheers!

Unfortunately they could not handle the demand of our crowd through out the evening. We booked them for 300 guests and they ensured us the staff would be good to service them. We had 272 attendees so slightly less than we anticipated. The issue came about 1 hour into the event when we were faced with 30-40 waits for drinks. It continued to go downhill as they ran out of vodka and beers before 8:00, we started at 6:00. When I reached out to speak with them on it they did not call me back. I paid the invoice in full and then followed up with an email. They responded back with what appears to be a template email for complaints. Explaining how good they are and that it must just be that our guests like to drink. I HIGHLY recommend looking elsewhere for your bar services and if anyone from First String reads this, I would recommend not being rude in correspondence about issues and taking ownership instead.

I've had the pleasure of working with 1st String Bartending as a wedding coordinator then later as…read morea bride. 1st String was one of our preferred vendors while I was working at the venue, BRICK. Richard and his staff are THE BEST. They always came prepared with the best attitudes and were flexible which is key on wedding and event days when things may not go as scheduled. I felt confident recommending 1st String to clients because they were always reliable, not to mention affordable with top notch service. When it came my time for a wedding, 1st String was my first choice. Our venue was in LA so I got quotes from bar services up there but just didn't feel comfortable booking with anyone else. At our venue, new bar services must be vetted by the venue team and the business must come in for a walk through along with providing insurance. Richard was nothing but accommodating and took the steps to be an approved vendor. We booked a tasting at Salt Drift Pointe. We wanted to include Filipino ingredients like calamansi, pandan, and mango into our cocktails. The tasting experience was so fun and we were able to narrow it down to a Calamansi Mango Margarita and Calamansi Whiskey Sour. Richard also provided a full shopping list for us tailored to our bar menu. 1st String's bar package is customizable which is amazing since every event is different. We were able to choose disposable cups for the bar and glassware for the guest tables for water. I must mention that 1st String does more than bar service - they also offer event staffing. Our caterer could only do a drop off so we hired 1st String staff to run the buffet, bus, and clean. Our venue was pretty strict and Richard and his team did a phenomenal job with everything tasked to them. We can't thank them enough for ensuring everything ran smoothly and that everyone had a fun time. Seriously, they're the best!

My husbands only job was to look for a bartender and make payments for vendors. I was a little nervous on letting him look for one vendor because I'm picky and love exceptional service.

Communication pre event was prompt, clear and thorough. I knew exactly what he was providing from service to supplies and he made excellent recommendations for our cocktail offering. Upon arrival he efficiently set up the bar and was ready to start right on time. Most importantly and why I give him 100 gold stars is that I grossly underestimated that number of people who would come to our customer party. No problem! Noah was over prepared with supplies and ingredients and was able to easily accommodate twice as many drinks as expected. He worked hard and non stop for 4 hours with complete professionalism. I have been in the events business for 20 years and can vouch that Noah is the real deal and there is no better partner for event beverage service. Thank you Noah!!

I've hired bartenders before, but nothing--and I mean nothing--comes close to the level of service, professionalism, and pure charisma these two brought to my event. From the very first message, Trevor was on it. Organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in creating something special. We even had a personalized tasting (worth every extra penny), which set the tone for what became an unforgettable experience. My guests could not stop raving about him--Trevor was the star of the night with his warm personality and effortless charm. He wasn't just a bartender; he was a guest favorite. Guests were talking about him like he was a celebrity cameo I somehow managed to book. We're extremely detail-oriented, and Trevor matched us step for step. The glassware, the curated cocktail menu, the thoughtful questions he asked to understand our tastes--every detail was intentional and elevated. I wanted a speakeasy-style cocktail experience, and he delivered it flawlessly. The glassware? So GORGEOUS I considered stealing my own cups. I went with a four‑cocktail menu, and every single drink had people stopping mid‑conversation like, "Wait... what IS this?!" My love for speakeasy cocktails was fully honored, elevated, and then sent into orbit. The presentation, the professionalism, the way he engaged with guests... truly white-glove service. I will never hire another bartender for future events. Trevor sets a bar (pun intended) that others simply don't reach, and anyone he brings with him clearly shares that same standard of excellence. If you want an elevated, memorable, boutique cocktail experience--Trevor is your guy. Full stop. Just don't blame me when your guests start chanting his name.
