You know when your beverage magazine publisher friend is having a great time at the bar, you picked the right bartender. Chad and company did an outstanding job at my wedding but it wasn't just the wedding. We did a tasting at their old Kailua location months (they have since moved) before the wedding with two friends, getting to try an absurd number of drinks. Courtney got us kind of hammered, but it was fun getting to try and compare almost two dozen drinks and that's after we had a heavy brunch. The final drink we tried, the espresso martini blew us away and the partner of the best man who came with us, basically ordered us to put it on our menu (she would later drink a sizable number of these at the wedding). She was right though, that is a drink you should absolutely get, but more on that later. Courtney worked with us and we decided on the Lemon & Ginger Bourbon Fizz, Strawberry & Bubbles (a modification of their existing Strawberry Nirvana drink), and the Espresso Martini. Anyways, Stir in the week or two weeks before the wedding, will get your approval for the invoice for the alcohol, which you then order from their preferred distributor at wholesale prices or source the alcohol yourself. It is advised to pay for Stir to do the pickup, delivery, and storage from the distributor as it can be a lot of alcohol depending how large your wedding is. If you buy from Stir's preferred distributor, Fujioka's, they'll only refund unopened spirits, so be careful how much wine and beer you buy as that's not returnable. The day of the wedding, they setup, do a welcome drink if that's part of your contract, and proceed to serve both your signature drinks and regular cocktails. They'll even do mocktails for your non-drinking friends, along with regularly refilling ice water. Our friends had a great time with so many mentioning to my wife and I that they loved the drinks. We did go with about 140 large ice cubes, but by the time I got to the bar after family and groom/bride photos, those were all gone, so crushed ice for the rest of the wedding. Our guests loved the bourbon drink so much that they cleared out all nine bottles of bourbon and four of the five bottles of vodka for the strawberry nirvana drink. We went home with so many unopened bottles of wine as the signature drinks stole the show. We kept the espresso martini a secret until the thank you speech and Stir started making them right as our freshly made mini taro malasadas came out. Our guests drank so many of the espresso martinis, with some guests having three. I hope they were able to sleep that night. The Stir bartenders and Chad did a wonderful job and my wife and I highly recommend them. read more

Such an awesome part of our wedding was our personalized drinks! We did a tasting and it was one the best experiences/memories we have from wedding planning. Chad and Nicki are awesome! Highly recommend doing a refreshment bar with water so you don't have to worry about water the whole night. We also asked them to not start shots until 8pm, which they held true to. Champagne pass before the ceremony was also extremely awesome and felt extra fancy! read more

The Stir Beverage team was all around amazing from the beginning of the wedding planning process and on the day of our wedding! My husband and I loved discussing with Chad about creating signature cocktails for our wedding. Chad's passion and knowledge of mixing and flavour profiles gets you really excited about choosing/crafting special signature drinks for your important day. Our guests couldn't stop raving during the wedding and after the wedding about how fun and professional the Stir team was! One of our guests mentioned how she was very impressed by how accommodating the Stir Beverage team was with providing juice for her little ones. All the drinks were so delicious and they do not water down or skimp out on the alcohol. My husband and I have absolutely no regrets with the Stir team's amazing service and performance, and if we could do it all over again, we would hire the Stir Beverage team again in a heartbeat!! So to all future brides and grooms planning a wedding in Hawaii...please don't hesitate and confidently go with the Stir Beverage team!! read more

We had a fantastic experience with Stir Beverage for our wedding. Chad was incredibly passionate about cocktails and clearly cared about providing a great experience for our guests. The drinks were delicious, the presentation was excellent, and the service throughout the night was professional, friendly, and seamless. We received so many compliments from our guests about the bar service. Highly recommend Stir Beverage for any wedding or special event! read more

We first met Chad and the StirBev team at WedTalk, where we got to sample their incredible cocktails--and let me tell you, we instantly fell in love with their Mango Mezcal (Mezcal, Cointreau, fresh mango & lime juice, fresh black pepper, and a Hawaiian black sea salt rim). The flavors, the presentation, the style--come on, that sea salt rim?! We were obsessed. My husband and I kept saying we wished we could order this drink at every bar we went to. So, of course, hiring them for our wedding at Lanikuhonua was an absolute must. The StirBev team guided us through selecting 6-8 drinks, and at our tasting, we made small tweaks to our top three to curate our very own "His, Hers, and Ours" cocktails. We were beyond impressed with how they crafted drinks that reflected our personalities so uniquely. They even designed a beautiful drink menu for us, which we loved so much that we framed it and have it hanging on our wall at home! On the wedding day, the team was flawless--efficient, professional, and incredibly warm. The bar setup was absolutely stunning, with perfectly arranged liquor bottles, fresh garnishes, and elegant details that made the whole experience feel cinematic. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how grand and luxurious the bar felt, and the bartenders were not only skilled but so personable and fun! We also added their cigar bar option, which was a huge hit at our reception/after-party. It created such a unique and memorable experience, and we even customized cute matchboxes as favors for our guests. Honestly, 1,000,000/10 recommend StirBev to everyone! I'm already brainstorming excuses to book them again--even though my wedding is over. Chad and the StirBev team, thank you for making our wedding bar experience absolutely unforgettable! read more

We used Stir Beverage for our wedding at Lanikuhonua and we had an amazing experience. From the first time booking them up until our wedding day the team was so responsive and accommodating to our needs. We were able to have a drink tasting to make our signature cocktails a few months before and we had so much fun trying everything. Stir makes some of the best, most unique, and creative cocktails we've ever had. Everyone on the team is so knowledgeable and passionate about what they create and it really shows. Our guests are still talking about how good our drinks were. Towards the end of the wedding night we were running low on a few types of alcohol and we had the option to get more however we chose to just use up what was left and the Stir team came up with some of the best cocktails/shooters towards the end of the night with what was left--making lilikoi rum shooters and so many other varieties with all their fresh ingredients. We had a spicy mango marg with a li-hing rim and a lilikoi gin mule for our signature cocktails and they were such a hit!!!! Our guests couldn't decide whose was better because they loved both. We also had an espresso martini nightcap which was so fun. Each drink was so fresh, tasting exactly like the fruit. The staff were amazing to work with and SO fast day of we barely ever had a line because the team was so efficient. We highly recommend Stir Beverage team for your wedding bar services, they really are the best on Oahu!! read more

Stir Beverage! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We used them for our wedding at Lanikuhonua. From the start, Chad and Kara were very quick in their responses. We had a great initial phone conversation with Chad. You can tell he loves what he does. Once we confirmed with Stir, they set up a cocktail tasting for us which we loved! It's out in Kailua and we brought two of our friends and we just got to taste cocktail after cocktail after cocktail. It was really difficult to make a final decision. We eventually settled on the package with 2 signature cocktails, but since we were going to feature it after our dogs, we asked if we could include a simple third signature cocktail since we have 3 dogs. Chad said no problem! So we chose a 1944 Mai Tai, a POG mimosa, and a Mango Mezcal. Everyone LOVED our drinks. But if your guests don't want a signature drink, they do a full bar service too. They have different bar set ups depending on what kind of vibe you want for your event. Whichever you choose, they do it in an elevated and classy way. All our guests loved the bartenders and servers and raved about everything they drank! You provide the alcohol. You can order with Stir through Fujioka's or you can pick it up on your own with Costco. If you order with Fujioka's, Stir will arrange delivery. Either way, you can return any unopened liquor. They helped make our wedding amazing!! We would hire them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Stir!! read more

Stir Beverage absolutely crushed it at our wedding. First of all, and most importantly to me as the bride, Chad made sure that my husband and I had a drink at our disposal at every moment of the night. He was also making sure that all the tables had all the drinks they could want and their glasses were full. His attention to detail and care for every guest set the tone for an unforgettable night. The Baby Piña (shaken piña colada) and the Climate Change (mango margarita) were the stars of the show. I literally didn't order anything else. The baby piña was the best piña colada I've ever had. The bartenders kept the energy high from start to finish. We allowed for shots and at one point in the night, I signaled to the bartender to start pouring out rounds for everyone and they got on it immediately while calling out to the crowd for a count. People were gathering and whooping and hollering and having the best time. Definitely a core memory for me! Huge shoutout to Jake for bringing the vibes and keeping the party going. The whole team was kind, attentive, and so much fun to be around. They matched the guests' energy, kept the line short, and made sure the drinks never stopped flowing. They also struck the perfect balance between fun and responsibility. Everyone had a great time, but the team made sure things stayed safe and under control. They checked in with guests, watched the room, and made sure no one went overboard, which put me SO at ease. If you're looking for a bar team that brings amazing cocktails, great energy, and genuine care for your guests, Stir Beverage is it. Chad and his crew nailed it. As a self-proclaimed frugal bride, they were worth every penny and more. read more

Stir Beverage came recommended to us from nearly every other vendor we booked for their attention to detail, professionalism and quality of their drinks and service. From our first tasting experience to our wedding day and all the communication in between, our experience with Chad (the owner) and the rest of the team at Stir was fantastic. We spoke to several bar vendors before making our decision and Im so glad we chose Stir. They are absolutely the best bar vendor with the best pricing for all of the included services and detail. They also have the best selection for glass rentals for whatever style you're going for. Our guests raved about how delicious the cocktails were, and there was never a long line at the bar like you see at some weddings because the bartenders can't keep up. The bartenders were top notch and kept the drinks flowing. It wasn't just an average open bar at a wedding...it was a whole experience that our friends and family will never forget. read more

I can't say enough good things about StirBev! From the tastings to the actual day and all the time in between, the whole team was a pleasure to work with. Communication was a breeze. We had them for our wedding, and our guests were raving about the drinks both during and after! I can't recommend them enough. read more

Stir Beverage is an absolute top-tier wedding vendor! Every moment of working with them--from the first intake call to the drink tasting, the pre-wedding prep, and of course, the big day itself--felt like a luxury experience. You can really tell that Chad and his team are passionate about their work and their customers; they're super communicative and helpful via email and phone, and their knowledge and experience made the logistical planning for our open bar super seamless. Also, Stir has so many options and add-ons for you to choose from to make your wedding's bar/drink experience unique to your vision. For example, we added a coffee/tea bar because we knew our guests would probably appreciate the caffeine, but we could've added other things like a draft beer bar if we wanted to. Aesthetically, their presentation of the drinks, glassware, and barfronts was absolutely stunning, and we easily found options that fit with our color theme/vibe. Before you choose your signature cocktails, we also highly recommend sitting down with Stir to do a tasting. For two or so hours, you get a fun experience with a knowledgeable bartender and an excellent menu of drinks curated based on yours and your fiance's tastes. Thanks to the tasting, we ended up trying and choosing cocktails we didn't expect based on just the website, so it's 100% worth the effort! To those who are curious, we chose the Passion for Bourbon and the Ube Crazy. Super ono! Thank you, Stir, for bringing such a great experience to us and our guests! read more

WOW! The Stir team, from start to finish, were consummate professionals, creative with their cocktails (and mocktails!) and such a pleasure to have as part of our 25 year wedding anniversary party. They handled EVERYTHING - we didn't have to worry about a single thing. Even our venue POC was impressed with the fact that they were so turnkey, not needing any additional support. Additionally, our guests were so impressed with the cocktails and beverage selection, the bar area was certainly the most popular area of the entire venue - for good reason. Working with Stir was an incredible experience. You'll be making a great decision by choosing Chad and the Stir team! read more

Stir beverage brings an elevated bar experience. They bring this to any venue, their service and overall vibe instantly brings any space to another level. It is extremely hard to have aesthetically pleasing bar fronts in such great condition, with great drinks, and great service. Their time management and friendliness at the same time are unmatched. Being a event planner myself I felt so lucky to have Stir Beverage at my wedding. Everyone loved the cocktails and mocktails. I would 100% recommend Stir beverage to any future clients in my business, friends, or family. Thank you stir beverage for all your hard work and being so fun to work with. read more

Stir Beverage has hands down made the best drinks I have ever had! We chose the Island Sunset and Wild Berry Smash as our signature drinks after a zoom meeting with Chad! He described all of the drinks so well and they are so beautifully made. All of our guests raved about the bartenders and their drinks, people who do not normally drink decided to drink at our wedding! That is why Stir had to go out and buy 8 more bottles of alcohol for us before the reception to keep the party going! From the drinks, to the staff, and to the beautiful glassware- everything was perfect! read more

We booked Stir Beverage for our May 2025 wedding, and cannot say enough amazing things about their team! They were one of the first vendors we booked, because Chad really took the time to thoroughly explain how his team runs events and all the endless options and accommodations they have. Although they may be a bit more expensive than other vendors, it was well worth it. When we visited last year for our tasting, Nikki was so energetic and bubbly, and made us so many delicious drinks that we had to upgrade to 3 signature cocktails to have more! They also have a wonderful glassware selection, which made such a nice touch in photos and the overall guest experience. All of our guests raved about how amazing each cocktail was, and how they had never been to a wedding where there was never a line at the bar. Stir Beverage's team was so quick to bust out drinks for everyone! Following the ceremony, they had quickly made a ton of signature cocktails for people to grab, which really made it easy for everyone to be served quickly. I'd say we had a good mix of heavy and light drinkers, but we ended up going through most of our alcohol! We added maybe 9-13 additional bottles of liquor to our shop order, and ended up only returning 3! I will say we had a ton of red wine and prosecco leftover, so I probably would have ordered less since wine cannot be returned. We would absolutely recommend Stir Beverage to anyone hosting an event or wedding, you will definitely not be disappointed! Their team is so lively, efficient, and overall amazing at what they do! read more

Stir Beverage is one of the most amazing vendors we worked with when planning our Hawaiian destination wedding. We started booking vendors over a year in advance and we are so grateful that Stir was available on our date. We had the best experience booking with Chad and Kara. They were so thorough with every detail and made everything so perfect for us. We unfortunately were not able to come to the island for a cocktail tasting ahead of time, however the virtual tasting was such a fun experience. Our virtual tasting was at 8 am HST (shoutout to Chad to being so accommodating) and during that hour we saw how much Chad loved working with people and how passionate he was about cocktails and the experience! We gave Chad a couple ideas of what we each liked and he was able to create us these amazing signature cocktails. I came to Chad kind of clueless as to what I wanted and really valued all his recommendations I also asked Chad to help us create these welcome shooters in mini Patron bottles and those were a huge hit. Chad turned my small idea into something incredible and I can't thank him and his team enough for the experience they provided to us and our guests. The only downside to our bar was that we did not order enough alcohol...we really had no idea how much our guests were going to drink but with such amazing cocktails, what did we expect?! Our bartenders for the night, Nicki and Adam, were also freaking amazing and there was a party around the bar during 90% of the reception. They worked their butts off for us and were so freaking fun to work with! A week later and all our guests are still talking about how great everything was from the drinks to the bartenders. I don't even know how we got so lucky to book this company but I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone for their bartending needs. read more

Stir Beverages is easily one of my favorite vendors from our wedding day and that's because from the beginning the owner Chad gave such great positive vibes and Nicki helps us with a tasting and made us amazing/beautiful drinks. We had so much fun with everyone on the Stir team. They really care about you and your wedding that they will do whatever they can to make the day perfect. I knew right away I wanted them at my wedding. I would highly recommend booking with them if you want a fun experiences with reliable incredible people. Thank you Stir for everything. read more

From the very beginning when brainstorming for our wedding, to our tasting, to fantastic service on our wedding day, the Stir team showed up time and time again.

I mean where can I even begin with my review!? I had seen the pictures and heard the reviews, but Stir completely exceeded all of my expectations! When I was booking other vendors and they found out we were having Stir for our bar service, everyone echoed the same "oh we love them," or "oh yes they're great!" But those are total understatements! We decided to opt for two add on services, the coconut bar and the cigar bar. And OMG they were the talk of the entire wedding night!! We were suggested to buy only 10-15 cigars based on our guest count of 66, (we purchased 15) but it was such a hit, we honestly should have purchased at least 25 cigars. Not that we were given wrong information, we just had no clue our guests would love it SOOOO much! And they LOVED the fresh coconuts as welcome drinks!! These two services are a MUST if you plan on having a destination wedding. As far as service, I mean TOP TIER!! Nick and Chelsea were AMAZING! I'll call Nick the silent assassin, he was very sweet, and kind, and always made sure we had a drink (or shot ) in our hands. He would walk up to our table place a shot down, smile and walk away. We never once had to go to the bar trying to get a drink. Unless a guest wanted to drink or toast with us. They were VERY attentive from the moment we arrived for cocktail hour with our coconuts and cocktails, until the end of the night. And Chelsea was SOOOO much fun!! And again, so attentive and made beautiful drinks!! Our cocktails were GORGEOUS!! we noticed some of our guests hanging out at the bar, because they were just so much fun to be around! The service was 5 stars all around! I don't have a single complaint!! So being honest, we thought Stir was going to be out of our budget. We initially booked another bar service, for JUST bar. But after crunching numbers, it financially didn't make sense. We decided if we spend a few hundred more dollars, we would get SO MUCH MORE bang for our buck adding the cigar bar and fresh coconut bar. So we decided to sacrifice in other areas to book Stir, and we are SOOOO glad we did!! The bar set up, signage, drinks, everything was just BEAUTIFUL! I cannot say enough positive things about this company! From our initial consultation call with Chad, communication was ALWAYS in a timely manner. All questions were addressed and they made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I could go on and on about how amazing they were, and how much we enjoyed having them for our wedding! If you are planning a wedding on Oahu, and want TOP TIER bar service, look no further and book them immediately!! You will not be disappointed! I promise it will be one of the best, if not THE best vendor you book for your wedding day!!! read more

I'm way overdue on this review but Chad and his team are amazing and went above and beyond at our wedding in 2022. When we were picking out cocktails, Chad asked for some of our favorites and overdelivered with the sample cocktails he crafted. He even traveled to our place to setup shop for tasting which was really convenient. Chad's daughter, Courtney, who also works at Stir told us Chad doesn't work events as much since his focus has been on the business side. But he ended up being there at our wedding and was always looking out to make sure we were taken care of. We never got to tell Chad how grateful we were he was there even though he didn't need to be. Our guests loved all the drinks and service was impeccable. Not to mention the bars they brought were stunning. I HIGHLY recommend Stir to anyone even considering them. When we told our wedding coordinator Stir was doing our drinks, she was relieved haha. She knows how great Chad and his team are and how they're always on top of it. Thank you Stir for making our wedding extra special with your services. read more

Cara, Chad and most importantly all of the members of the team who worked the day of our wedding were incredible. From day one, Chad was reaching out offering his services seeing if we were interested, even our planner told us how efficient and thorough their team was. We decided that we wanted to go with them. From the first call to every email exchange the Stir team was incredibly responsive, friendly and kind. We had many requests and specialty things we wanted at our wedding and they were more than happy to accommodate. We communicated with their team for about a year on and off through our wedding planner and they had a quick response time, always being helpful to whatever we needed. Not living in Hawaii and not being able to try sample our wedding his/her cocktails was incredibly nerve wracking for us, we left this in their hands, and they definitely did not disappoint. The drinks were delicious, our guests went crazy for them. We had a large number of guests at our wedding, and up until this day, we have had people comment on how friendly, helpful and efficient the entire team was. A couple of reasons why you should book stir, my grandma went up to the bar multiple times, they remembered what she liked to drink and her allergies, this was huge and memorable. They had a drink waiting for us at our lounge area when we signed our marriage certificate as well as a designated person to my husband and I ensuring throughout the night that we never had an empty glass. Even while we were eating dinner, we never had to get up. Every one of the bar team members was on it. Drinks were never empty, and they did it with a smile. I can't recommend this team enough! read more

Delicious and Beautiful Wedding Drinks, Service was above and beyond. Chad and the team at Stir Beverage Catering made delicious and beautiful bespoke drinks for our wedding which will live forever in the many many photos everyone took of them. Our wedding planner found Chad and reached out to him in mid November of 2019 for our wedding in January 2020. He was very responsive and helpful with cocktail ideas and even helped us to source a coconut shucker and his wife cored pineapples for the specialty drinks - a tropical touch I highly recommend! The specialty cocktails, coconut, and pineapple drinks were exactly what we dreamed of and made our special day very memorable. He also helped us source wine, beer, and Mexican Cokes (we had an open bar after party later in the evening). All of our guests commented on how tasty they were, and took many many photos. Our only regret is that we can't have any right now =) In addition to the drinks, Chad and his team went above and beyond and stepped in when our food caterers were short-staffed to help them set up. I'd highly recommend the Stir Beverage Catering team for your event. read more

Chad was fabulous from start to finish. I was planning an event with 250+ guests and our committee was hard to please. I really had to grab the bull by the horns and dig my heels in to get more details to be able to fulfill the expectations and stay within budget. Chad was very responsive and never made me feel like I was being a pain in the patootie. He stayed in touch all the way up to the event and he was there 5 hours early to get set up. He told me he was down 1 bartender but he'll make it work. They hustled hard the whole night making sure glasses stayed filled and tables stayed clean. It was amazing to watch them work. All in dress shoes and smiles on their faces! Professional from beginning to end, I would definitely hire them again for the next big event! read more

One of the best parts of our wedding was Stir Bev!! After booking the venue and our coordinators, Stir Bev was the next vendor we booked. After our first meeting with Chad, we already knew we wanted to sign with him. But I went ahead and spoke with other vendors just for comparison. I even contemplated adding the drink service to catering package to save a little money but I'm so glad we hired Stir Bev because the attention to detail and the quality of service and drinks were worth it! Chad's personality even over the phone was infectious. His passion for his craft shows through his communication, his website, his social media and from guest reviews. He was a great listener and responded to all my emails from start to finish in a timely manner. We scheduled a tasting but due to scheduling conflicts, we had to send our close friends instead to do tasting. Our friends were raving about the tasting visit with Chad and had a hard time choosing from all the cocktail options because all of them were so good! In the end, we ended up choosing Lilikoi Spritz (tropical flavors of Aperol, lilikoi, and prosecco) and Yuzu Dreams (vodka, lychee, and Japanese Yuzu). We and our guests absolutely loved the signature drinks!! Chad also made the whole process easy for us from offering to do alcohol shopping and accommodating last minute requests such as adding a second bar stand for the cocktail hour and providing refreshments prior to guests heading to ceremony. If issues came up, he always had an option which put us at ease, especially towards end of planning stage. Chad's entire staff was so friendly and professional! Upon my arrival to bridal suite at Kualoa, I was immediately greeted with a cocktail. After the ceremony, Chad greeted us with cocktails. His staff made sure we enjoyed the drinks the whole night!! Prior to me writing this review, I have already made a several recommendations for Stir Bev just from my guests telling other people about their experience. Trust me when I say go ahead and hire Stir Bev. You won't regret it!! Photos by Alex Rapada Photography read more

Stirr beverage truly made our wedding weekend! We were fortunate enough to hire them for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and it was be best decision ever. Their drinks are truly out of this world and some of the best drinks I've had, not just at a wedding, but ever!! For our rehearsal dinner we had the Lilikoi Spritz and The Red & The Black. If you love aperol spritz then you will LOVE the Lilikoi Spritz. It was perfectly refreshing and not too sweet - I think I drank 4-5 of them that night. The Red & The Black was also a huge hit. First of all when I picked it I thought a black pepper margarita sounded odd but intriguing- I didn't try it in our tasting but was going out on a limb because I knew how good their cocktail making skills are. It was AMAZING! Who would think to mix strawberries and black pepper?! But YUM! Also not to sweet! We chose 3 specialty cocktails for our wedding day - Climate Change, Kiawe Smoked Old Fashioned, and the Mai Tai. All three were delicious! The climate change is hands down one of the best spicy margs but with fresh mangos - perfect! The Mai Tai was a crowd favorite as lots of our guests travelled in from the mainland. Their Mai Tai isn't an overly sweet or syrupy like many other places serve them but rather made from all fresh ingredients. Now for the Kiawe Smoked Old Fashioned - where do I even start?! My husband, who considers himself an old fashioned connoisseur, says that the kiawe smoked old fashioned served on our wedding day is his favorite old fashioned he's ever had! He also typically does not like smoked old fashions because of the overpowering Smokey flavor of most. This was NOT like most. The smoked Kiawe added an almost sweetness to it and the perfect hint of Smokey flavor without being even the slightest bit over powering! If you like old fashions you have go get this drink! Hands down the #1 feedback from our guests has been how good the drinks were! Stirr is not just another wedding bar service, they truly have a passion for mixology and service. I will be recommending stirr to everyone and anyone I know getting married in Hawaii and will 100% be using them again for an event in the future!! Do yourself a favor and book Stirr immediately - you will not regret it!! read more

My wife and I have been planning our dream destination wedding at the low camp location in Kualoa Ranch for over 2 years now due to COVID and could not be happier with Stir Beverage. Their website is beautiful and all the raving reviews across various social platforms made us select Stir for our wedding without trying any drinks! From initial booking. Chad from Stir is able to tailor a recommended alcohol purchase list based on the signature cocktails you would like for him to prepare for the wedding. Also with the challenging venue like low camp, Chad was able to recommend what glassware he would require for the service as well. Since our wedding was during the pandemic, Chad was very responsive and flexible to last minute changes to the guest count from new guidelines. During the wedding, I arrived at the venue and was able to meet Chad for the first time! He is a super friendly guy and was easy to talk to. All the guests were raving not only about the taste but also the presentation of the drinks. We had an intimate wedding with 25 people and I never saw a line for the bar. Chad was able to single handedly whip out delicious and beautiful drinks to everyone. He does have additional bartenders for large groups but the service was just spectacular. Not to be biased as this was our wedding day but Stir provided the best cocktails we have ever had! You can go with your standard "rum and coke", "vodka sodas", etc. but Chad goes above and beyond with all kinds of "surprise' drinks which I do not know what or how I can have it again to this day! If I am ever in the Oahu area, I will definitely hit up Chad again for his bartending services! With much love, Jackie and Lamont read more

Chad and his team were unbelivable partners in helping us bring two of our wedding events to life. We had countless compliments from guests on how fantastic the cocktails were, the fun staff behind the bar, and the presentation of the final product (bar included). They also were super easy to work with - from the planning to the execution to the clean-up. They handled it all. 10 out of 10 would recommend them to any friend looking for a beverage & bar vendor!!! read more

Chad and the Stir beverage team are truly the best of the best. Every little detail matters and you can tell by the presentation of every drink. Chad and his team were with us since pre-COVID and throughout our two postponements they worked with us, and supported us to make sure our wedding day was just perfect when it finally got here. Chad came by for our signature drink creations at our home and crafted a "his" and "hers" drink that was customized to our liking. I chose a Likikoi marg (of course), and my husband chose a smoked Kiawe wood old fashioned (yes- they actually smoke the wood for that flavor!) We received nothing but top notch service and friendliness from beginning to end. We hired their service for our rehearsal and reception, and we received so many compliments from our guests about not only the drinks, but the quality of service and staff. Everything from the his and hers sign, to the presentation of the bar and drinks were all considered by Stir. I also greatly appreciated the Stir staff coming up to my husband and I personally to give us our his and hers drinks to kick off our evening of celebrating- they just went the extra mile with everything they did. Given how busy you get leading up to the big day, we felt beyond confident that Chad and the Stir team had everything under control and planned to ensure a smooth day of event. You literally can't ask for a more professional group- not only that, you'll likely walk away from the bar with a new friend on the island- they are just fantastic in every way.. we really can't recommend them enough! read more

These guys were awesome! Attentive, competent, and efficient. We had them for our daughters wedding and their overall service levels could not be any higher. From set up to breakdown and everything in between, they were the best. Chad checked in with me so many times I thought there were three of him. Also, everyone loved the "signature drinks". I highly recommend this group of smiling faces and A+ service for any event. read more

They were so lovely to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better vendor for our wedding. They listened and delivered. We wanted in the first few hours for our open bar to only serve drinks on the rocks or mix drinks. They did just that and when I opened up the bar for shots around 9, they definitely listened and followed through. Thank you Stir and it was a pleasure to work with you. read more

Chad and his team were AMAZING! Our guests could not stop raving about the cocktails - they were both delicious AND beautiful. Chad was easy to work with, from choosing our signature cocktails to creating our alcohol list while also purchasing, storing, and delivering the day of. Chad was super accommodating throughout the day, always checking in with myself and my groom to see if we needed anything. Him and his team were top-notch, the drinks were spectacular, and the bar had great aesthetics. You will NOT be disappointed with Chad and Stir Beverage, they were simply the best!! read more

If we could give Stir 6 stars we would. Kara and Chad and our bartenders were exceptional. Great service, beyond exceptional customer focus. The communication and coordination was on point, and probably our favorite wedding vendor to work with! read more
