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!

I thought a bourbon tasting and bourbon cocktail themed party would be fun but knowing nothing about bourbon I was kind of intimidated. I contacted PBS and they responded stating that they had the perfect bartender Alex for the event. Alex contacted me prior to the event and gave me suggestions on bourbons and quantities I should purchase. The happy hour was so much fun and Alex was amazing to work with. He arrived early, set up and kept the drinks flowing. He was also extremely knowledgeable about bourbon which the guests loved. The party ended up going later than expected and Alex offered to stay later if needed which was appreciated and accepted. This will be the only bartending company I will use going forward as the quality of their service is superb.

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.

Louie's served as bartender for my wedding and did an excellent job!…read more The prices were reasonable and Louie was responsive and easy to contact. I was planning the wedding long distance and he was especially helpful in determining how much alcohol and glassware was needed. We added extra services such as a second bartender, up to 200 lbs of ice, and after dinner coffee service. They also helped serve our champagne for the toast. The bartenders who worked the wedding were friendly and professional. I don't plan on getting married again, but would absolutely consider using them for another formal get together and would recommend them to anyone consider using them.

I used mixology for my wedding in March! Let me just say I was more than happy with their service…read more They were professional yet at the same time fun! The bartenders are efficient and yet they made great small talk with my guests. I ordered two of their signature drinks and I could not have been more pleased. I ordered the cotton candy martini and the pink sugar rim martini. The martinis were served in plastic martini glasses. You would think plastic would look cheap at a wedding. However, their plastic martini glasses were pretty classy. I just made sure to order nice cocktail napkins and colorful paper straws. Because mixology was able to produce two such cute drinks, it gave me reason to commission an adorable calligraphy board of the drink menu. I was beyond thrilled with the outcome. Mixology offers such Pinterest ready drinks! Everyone at the bar was so friendly and so personable. I give them five plus stars. I would give them ten stars if only yelp would let me!

This year, the venue that I organized my event at had a list of "preferred vendors" that were giving me the runaround so I insisted on using Mixology which offered fair prices and excellent service.

I organize events regularly for work and really appreciated the service and value I received from Ricki and the rest of the Mixology team.

There was always an open line of communication and they responded quickly to any questions I had. They arrived early to the venue to set up and already had all of the bar supplies needed (meaning I didn't need to purchase these). Both are great bartenders with friendly, outgoing personalities. I had a lot of guests comment on how nice it was to have professional bartenders at the party vs just having coolers of beer and everyone trying to figure out how to make a mixed drink themselves. They took the party to the next level and I'm so thankful for their help. You won't be disappointed if you use them!

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!

There were no vegetarian options(non - meat only) as I requested. Shrimp and grits had sausage added which the vegetarians in my family and wedding party could not eat. In addition to that, it was spoiled and smelled fishy per everyone it was served to. Then had the nerve to go out and purchase chicken coleslaw from a nearby restaurant then proceeded to tell him I guess it was not for everybody . I didn't not eat nor did my husband at our own reception which is absolutely ridiculous to me. I did not request ego waffle chicken cups that were cold nor did I request burnt jerk meat balls. Happy Hour 2 Go was under staffed and my family had to assist in serving food and drinks and some even make their own. I borrowed two tables from my church for your set up that was inadequate. Very disappointed lack of professionalism and disrespectful attitude towards myself, family members, my husbands grooms men, my assistant and my master of ceremony. Embarrassing is an understatement. Then refuses to come to any resolution or offer an apology for ruining my wedding reception that I did not even eat at. All I had was cake that thank "God" Fancy had nothing to do with.
