  • "We had the honor of working with Bri and Doug for our wedding in Santa Barbara. They are both extremely talented and skilled in their line of work. Their skillfulness shined through every step of the process: from coming up with a menu, to placing the orders, and to being available to help with out-of-scope tasks on the day of our wedding. Everyone, including ourselves, loved Bri and Doug, and I would work with them any day in a heart beat."

  • "Hands down the best bartenders we’ve ever had working an event I’ve hosted. Their set up was beautiful, the drinks were made perfectly (highly recommend the old fashioned) and their service went above and beyond. After our wedding reception, several of our guests made unsolicited comments to us about how great they thought the bartending was, which really stood out and made us happy to hear people enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend this team!"
