If you are a bride and groom looking for a professional company then don't hire KBS. If you are a…read morebride or groom looking for a bartender(s) to drink with guests and party right along with you then hire KBS. I hired KBS for my August 10th wedding at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. Kevin, the CEO, and 2 other bartenders worked my event. tMaybe one out of three was decent. Kevin ran his own show which annoyed the crap out of me on my big day. And one of the bartenders did not know how to make the "Bride's Drink" (Moscow Mule) the day of the wedding despite Kevin knowing weeks in advance what was going to be on the menu. Very frustrating. I guess we got what we paid for. The only reason we hired KBS was because they undercut another company we were considering - big mistake because KBS sacrifices quality. All communications and interactions with Kevin were good leading up to my wedding but looking back, was a complete waste of our time. My wedding my husband and I feel we were promised a service we did not receive. We believe Kevin lied to us about his credentials. The worst part of dealing with Kevin the day of my wedding was when I went to address an issue with him at the start of dinner service. I went to find out why he or his bartenders were not serving wine and he tried to brush me off by saying he was going on break - WORST TIME TO TELL A BRIDE YOU ARE GOING ON BREAK. I told him I would like 2 bartenders to go serve wine and one bartender to keep the bar open because dinner service was running so slowly. He seemed to ignore my request and gave other instructions to his bartenders as I walked away. I did not like what I heard at the end of my wedding, the next day, and what I have seen in pictures and videos. Several guests had drinks before the wedding which I explicitly requested no drinks be served before the ceremony. According to several guests, Kevin was strolling around the venue, taking pictures and videos, when he should have been working. You can check out a picture Kevin took with me and my husband on facebook. Kevin thinks everyone, including my husband, were very pleased with his service. Kevin, know that we made it a point to enjoy our wedding and address any issues after the wedding, which I am doing now. My sister (maid of honor) caught Kevin taking video of my guests dancing on the dance floor, and several guests told me they saw him lingering and hitting on female guests. I was disgusted by the stories I heard the next day. I also heard Kevin was rude to some female guests, including my mother when she asked for wine after the bar has "closed." My mom was not only offended by the way she was treated but she even more upset that you threw away the 1.75L engraved bottle of grey goose she bought specifically to display at the wedding. We had 2 specially engraved liquor bottles to display at the bar; you failed to display them and failed even more by throwing the bottles away at the end of the night. It really appeared as if Kevin felt he could do whatever he wanted because he owns the company. He appeared more focused on having fun and partying with my guests than executing quality service. Even if some guests befriended Kevin and made him feel it was ok to join the party, I would have liked Kevin to keep it professional and decline any invitations to drink or join the party. Kevin did not conform to the idea I had for my wedding. There were rules of the venue I communicated in advance to Kevin and he either forgot or completely ignored them - such as all beer be served in plastic cups or no alcohol served before the ceremony to non-wedding party guests. One positive, Kevin and his bartenders arrived early and started working immediately. Other than that, I would not hire KBS ever again. Several of my friends over the last year have gotten engaged and are planning their wedding and I have made a point to tell them not to hire KBS.

Update: My original review got removed because I also posted to his other location in Los Angles…read more Same guy. If you look at my other reviews, I rarely, if ever, say anything too bad. But my blood pressure is spiking again as I relive the nightmare. Synopsis: HE DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP. I was the wedding coordinator for a couple, who are practically family to me. I confirmed with all of the vendors a month before the wedding. Kevin did not pick up his phone. Fine, I left a voicemail. The groom also contacted Kevin and spoke to him on the phone and if you look at how organized everything was, you'd know there was NO MISCOMMUNICATION. Oh, and there was a $300 deposit. Fast forward to 1 week before the wedding, more confirmation calls. No answer. LVM again. 1 day before the wedding, e-mailed him and got an auto-reply. "Thank you for your email, Due to the high number of inquires we are experiencing, we will get back to you within 24-48 hours of your contact, if this is urgent and your event is this week, please call (858) 342-9606 and we will get back to you asap." Let me ask you, brides/grooms, is this what you want to expect before your big day? Day of wedding: Kevin was supposed to arrive at 4PM. 4:15PM Called him and there is not even a way to leave a voice message. Great. 4:30PM called my friends to have them back up. Thank you friends, you saved the day. Do you, brides/grooms, have a bartender to pull out of a hat? Meanwhile, the couple are having their wedding ceremony. The bride is like a sister to me. I actually know the groom and we all traveled overseas together. I've spent the last month working with the bridal party, friends, and family. This was a moment to be shared with them. Instead, I'm running around like a chicken without a head trying to figure out WHERE IS KEVIN???? We may get our monetary refund, but how do you refund MEMORIES? I MISSED THE DANG CEREMONY! There were tears, there were once in a lifetime feels, there was love, and there was happiness. Was I there for it? No. Cocktail hour was cancelled. Guests did not have champagne in their flutes to toast because of the late last minute change. Melted ice was spilled all over the floor (which would be another $60 for repairs from the venue) because Kevin was supposed to bring coolers for the ice. We had to MacGyver some trashcans to make due. Almost ruined the bride's day when I had to tell them what happened. Hindsight is 20/20. The groom was swayed by the positive reviews here. If you are looking for a bartender for your wedding, don't be a sucker. There are other reviews here where he has not shown up and there is an additional complaint on the Better Business Bureau. His response to us was that he was/is out of town. He has a staff. Utilize them. Honestly, no empty apologies will ever suffice. So don't even bother.

Light lunch was great -- I had a chicken breast and husband had blackened salmon and we split a waldorf salad. Chicken and salmon were great (and I don't like salmon) and the salad is my new favorite thing. I'm obsessed! Oh and we also got 2 mac and cheese bites which were also heavenly! For dinner we purchased a pepperoni pizza pack that we cooked on the grill later that night. That turned out really nicely (see the photo I uploaded of before and after). All that and they were super friendly and welcoming to our dog. Can't wait to go back!
