I don't live in DC, so I haven't personally hired Cocktail Ovations, but I have been in DC twice in…read morethe last several months, and both times, my friend Ava B. threw house parties with the help of Changa O. I wish I could hire her to tend bar at my house parties in LA. She's awesome, and seems to make hosting an absolute breeze. Changa's rate is reasonable, and she shows up with a car full of bartending supplies, everything from mixers to folding table. Her basic package goes for $275 for three hours, and that includes an hour-long consultation, a signature cocktail, juices and sodas, cordials and liqueurs, homemade infusions and purées, garnishes, napkins, bar supplies, ice, coolers, etc. etc. She saves you a lot of headache and a long, involved shopping, and then makes your party run. She's skilled and professional. She makes a ginger margarita that is truly delicious. I was staying with Ava the night of that second party, so I was around for the wrap-up, and we ended up talking with Changa and another guest for a while at the end of the night. I know I'm Yelping her business, but it's worth noting that Changa herself is a very warm, thoughtful, intelligent person, someone you'd totally want at your party. If you're looking to hire a bartender in the DC area, call Cocktail Ovations immediately.

From being available in short notice and delivering exceptional customer service as always to going the extra mile to speak to our beverage sponsor to understand his needs, I am truly grateful for this team! They completely brand your bar and menu, have the most beautiful garnishes, the drinks are always delicious, they develop content to expand your event's reach, and they come ready to SERVE your audience! Unless they are ever unavailable, I have no need to look for another bartending service in the DMV!

We hired Mixin' Mimi for a Fundraiser with an open bar. In the past we had only hired bartenders…read morebut brought our own alcohol. This year I didn't want to deal with running out of things, bringing ice, etc. I will say we had a BIT of a responsiveness issue in the beginning trying to engage with them, but once we got Mimi on the phone, she was just fantastic. I LOVED the staff that was sent to run our event. All three were fun, professional, hardworking and made some great drinks! We did run out of wine with about an hour left to the event (and we only had beer and wine and two signature cocktails) which was super disappointing, but we made the best of it. I would 100% hire them again, especially if we got the same bartenders and they brought extra wine! The signature cocktails and mocktails they put together were fantastic. Mimi won't let you down!

We hired Ro, Cara, and Devo for our Halloween party last year, and they completely exceeded our expectations!!From the very beginning, they took the time to understand our guest count, helped determine exactly how much beer, wine, liquor, mixers, and supplies we would need, and even created a custom cocktail menu for the event. They thoughtfully included delicious mocktail options for our pregnant guests, which was such a wonderful touch. They arrived with absolutely everything--bar setup, cups, napkins, supplies, garnishes, and all the details I would have otherwise spent countless hours coordinating. Their organization and preparation were impeccable. Drinks flowed all night, guests were happy, and they never ran out of anything. They were constantly one step ahead. Beyond their professionalism, Ro, Cara, and Devo are genuinely wonderful people. They are friendly, funny, engaging, and have the kind of personalities that instantly put guests at ease. They helped keep the energy up, interacted with everyone, and even assisted with cleanup. It felt like having trusted friends who also happened to be incredible event professionals. They took so much stress off my plate and allowed me to actually enjoy my own party. That's priceless. We are already looking forward to having them back for our Halloween party again this year. Thank you, Ro, Cara, and Devo, for making our event such a success. You are truly amazing, and we can't wait to work with you again!

It is not an exaggeration to say that Drinks By DELANO is among the most impressive firms in this space that I've have ever had the pleasure of hiring for any event - large or small. Their detailed and customer-focused approach to every aspect of your event , from pre-planning to final execution, was simply superb and far beyond anything I've experienced to date. DELANO, the CEO, for example, even went so far as to inquire as to the various nationalities of our guests as the spanned several European Countries, so that he could offer traditional drink specialties. Upon the conclusion of the event, not only did they leave the venue spotless, they even assisted the cleaning crew that we retained! Just simply amazing service. Most importantly, our guests absolutely raved about the taste, quality, and speed of service for the cocktails, beer and wine. This was an event for nearly 200 guests, so initially , I was hesitant to engage an unknown firm. Their performance was far beyond my expectations and I plan to use them exclusively going forward.
