Patrick Fulgencio, Head Bartender at Dear Friend Bar
Picture this: Your event is all set. The decor is stunning, the playlist is a banger, but then you realize – oh no, who’s handling the drinks? meet the unsung heroes of any great party: professional bartenders. We not just mixologists; we’re wizards of the shaker, and knights in shining aprons.
Read on to find out why bartenders are any event organizer’s best friend.
…I Need to Do What?!
Let’s face it, playing bartender at your own event is like trying to juggle flaming torches while balancing on a unicycle. It sounds cool but is it really necessary?
Professional bartenders take the drink dilemma off your hands. They handle the what, where, and how much of drinks, leaving you to mingle and jingle without a worry.
These are some of the reasons why you should hire bartenders for your events:
- Imagine having a drink crafted just for your event. Whether it’s a ‘Marry-Me Mojito’ for a wedding or a ‘Deal-Sealer Daiquiri’ for a corporate gig, custom cocktails add a unique twist. Professional bartenders can whip up these concoctions, giving your guests something to talk about (and Instagram!).
- Ever seen a bartender in action? It’s like watching a ballet with bottles. Their efficiency means your guests aren’t stuck in line, narrating their life story to a pineapple. Instead, they’re out there on the dance floor, drink in hand, making memories.
- A great bartender is like the host’s right hand – only with a cooler apron and an arsenal of cocktail recipes. They’re part mixologist, part therapist, part party-starter. They read the room, know when to offer a joke, a smile, or just a perfectly mixed martini.
- The only thing worse than a hangover is waking up to a mountain of dirty glasses. Professional bartenders don’t just make drinks; they make disappearances – of empty bottles and used glasses. They handle the cleanup, so your post-event plan can be as simple as ‘brunch and chill’.
