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!

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!!

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

We loved working with Stir for our wedding. Definitely recommend the tasting for your specialty cocktails! It was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. Everyone we worked with there was so amazing, fun, communicative and helpful. The drinks were so tasty it was was hard to choose. The bar looked beautiful. It was one of our favorite parts of our wedding.

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!
