She tuned into our vision right away and offered thoughtful suggestions that fit perfectly with the vibe we wanted for our day. It felt like she genuinely cared about creating something special for us. When the wedding day arrived, Elise absolutely delivered. She showed up prepared, calm, and completely on top of every detail. You could tell she had done her homework. She anticipated the busy moments -- especially right after the ceremony -- and had everything organized so our guests were quickly greeted with a beautiful cocktail in hand. Watching her manage the flow so effortlessly was incredibly impressive. We had asked for cocktails that not only tasted amazing but also looked stunning, and she exceeded every expectation. The drinks were gorgeous, creative, and such a hit with our guests. I also really appreciated how seamlessly she worked with our planner, Emmarose from TGA. They synced so well that everything felt smooth and perfectly coordinated. The bar service was a standout part of our day, and Elise played a huge role in making the whole celebration feel elevated and joyful. Elise and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. If you're looking for the BEST bar service in Hawaii -- someone who brings talent, professionalism, and incredible energy -- The Honolulu Bartending Company is an easy choice. We couldn't recommend them more.

I also loved how she sent us the different packages via email and they were affordable, very professional, and easy to understand. She is great at creating a custom package for us based off of what we like to our tasting. She brought all we needed for our event, set, broke down, the works. Mimosa station for pre ceremony was a hit! We didn't want to have to worry about coolers, or ice, or who would refill the water cooler, or juice cooler, or carrying cans of soda of juice. She brought it all. Elise! Mahalo nui loa for being such an awesome addition to our wedding, it's like you are a part of our ohana!

Felicia also helped guide my last two brain cells throughout the evening & we gained a life-long friend when it was all over.

During the beginning of this year I reached out several times via email to Daniel because of the uncertainty during this pandemic, we wanted to see if we could get our deposit back.

"Aloha sorry for the delayed response we with all of our events canceled due to covid we are trying our best to get refunds to our customers. Refunds are non-refundable but we are trying to give as many refunds as possible within 1yr from when they were received." First of all "refunds are non-refundable" makes no sense.

We had set up the bar with floating candle vases on either side of the bar, which were moved by the bartenders when we came down from the ceremony. We specifically asked if they would be providing a cute menu and the owner said yes. The drink menus were a basic word document with our drink names in Arial font and did not have any correlation to our theme at all. Our 2 signature drinks were a specialty lemon drop martini and a Paloma. The Palomas were not made right and felt unbalanced even after we provided feedback to try to correct it. The first few martinis were served without lemon juice and so I had to clarify the recipe with the bartender. I think I'm a better bartender that can taste and can make adjustments to make sure I'm serving the best drinks I can which is highly disappointing as we paid for "professional bartenders". Overall, I think they put minimal effort into the presentation and they did not serve great drinks. I would not recommend them. I would recommend hiring Elise from Honolulu Bartending Company as she was our bartender for another event and she was a dream and went above and beyond for us.

Not only did he bring his own bar, but he was able to set everything up and start making cocktails super quickly. His expertise in crafting cocktails was evident in our "His" and "Hers" drinks. Mine was a simple Paloma, while my wife's was a Lychee Martini. Both were some of the best I've had. He also made a delicious mocktail that was enjoyed by all. We're not only impressed that he was able to prepare all this on such a tight turnaround, but also thankful that he put so much thought and effort. Additionally, Johnny is great to chat with. His story of how he started Bar Up to Par is inspirational and reflects his passion for mixology. That is also evident if you ever ask him for any drink recommendations. He not only gave me a list of tasty tequilas he enjoys, but he was able to explain their qualities in a way that informs and intrigues you. I'm looking forward to trying some of them! All in all, if you're looking for someone who comes well prepared, a passionate expert/professional, and all around great bartender -- you don't have to look any further than Bar Up to Par. Thank you, Johnny!

The state of the art bar that Lift Your Spiritz provided was also an eye catcher. It lit up beautiful colors and was just magnificient during the reception. But before the big day, Ryan was great to work with. We first met Ryan in June of 2011 when we were in Oahu for a week to plan our wedding. He responded to our email quickly and was able to meet with us right away even if it was a last minute appointment. Throughout the year, prior to the wedding, we kept in touch and he was so helpful in the planning process with how much we had to buy to make sure we had enough drinks for the wedding. He even told us where to buy it and which stores had the best deals. We purchased the premium package and we we glad we choose that package because Lift Your Spiritz provided a lot of things and it made it very stress-free for us. Over all, I would give Lift Your Spiritz 5 out of 5 STARS! They were the best and if you are looking for great bartenders and unbelievable service, this is the company to go with.
