Our wedding was one we'll never forget in the Hill Country on an October evening, filled with our…read morefamily and friends dancing the night away. Almost everything went right. As the groom, during cocktail hour, I noticed that the owners of our venue were serving the guests drinks, along with the boyfriend of the wedding planner. They were getting slammed by dozens of our guests wanting libations to get the party started. Our wedding planner informed me that our bartending vendors, Bar Divas of Austin, had yet to arrive, and that they informed her they would be on the way. They eventually showed up - almost five hours late! Thank God those people listed above went above and beyond to keep the boat afloat. With three or so hours of the night remaining, they continued to drop the figurative ball, from serving our guests hard liquor (we requested mixed drinks only), being rude to one of the bridesmaids who asked what she was getting served, and over pouring cocktails which led to us running out of tequila well before the night was through. This was one of the few vendors, based on the high reviews, that we thought was gonna be a no-brainer. It turned out to be the worst decision for us, but luckily the damage was mitigated. We strongly recommend you reconsider this vendor for your big day. As of today, a week from our wedding, they have yet to reach out to us to make it right.... (UPDATE: The venue owners had tried reaching out and stating our case as to why we should at least be refunded, but the owner refuses, saying he had to get "back-up emergency bartenders, costing him 4 times the amount." un. real. Especially considering they were both at least five hours late. Suffice to say, Bar Divas of Austin is officially blacklisted from the venue, and we will make it our mission on every review site to let couples know that if you choose this vendor, you're at a significant risk of being screwed over)

I didn't receive any contact from the company after the event, nor were there any apologies/compensation given.

We recently needed a bartender for a party at the last minute and happened upon this company…read more Considering we were a little underprepared and overwhelmed, these guys were great. They completely organized the bar and service areas and kept everybody's glasses full especially when it was time for the toasts. Would I hire them again or recommend them? Yes, absolutely! Ellen was a delight to work with and knew what she was doing, even when one partier perhaps had a little more to drink than he should have. They monitored this person, got him to eat, and made sure he rehydrated before allowing him to drive home. She also had great hints on wine and beer value and what and how much liquor to buy.

He helped to guide us in our selection of liquors and gave us an estimate on the correct amounts to buy for our bar as well. The signature cocktails were delicious and the service was quick. Highly recommend them, they made our day perfect and kept the party going.
