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.

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.

Pretty sure they were the first things we confirmed for the day, before anything else in our 3 year engagement! The drinks were TOP TIER. Our guests were blown away by the selection & the service provided; everyone felt like the super cool special guests at the party, not just the people whipping up the killer drinks. 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.

She was always readily available whenever I had questions and her feed back was extremely helpful which helped with the flow of events during the wedding. We also decided to book hula dancers through Keani and rented an arch to help hang our neon sign for the reception. On the day of the wedding Keani and Sky made sure to take care of everything behind the scenes to make sure I didn't get stressed out and took care of all the decorations for the ceremony and reception. The hula dancers helped elevate our wedding and they were the highlight of our night. It all came out better than I could have ever dreamt of. I highly recommend booking with them!

Luckily, around April-May 2021, rules were slowly being lifted and we ended up keeping our original wedding date! They really helped us out a lot, even on the small details! They're so fun and laid back and that's what I really love about them. My husband and I really enjoyed our wedding and we appreciate Dania's and Jenna's help! I forgot Jenna's assistant's name, but she was a big help as well! I love their hospitality I would recommend them to any family members or close friends that are thinking of getting married in Oahu.

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!
