Robert was one of the first businesses to get back to me. His communication was always top notch. I am SO GLAD I chose to book with him. He provided me a very helpful list of all the things I should buy along with the quantities which was appreciated. Paul was our bartender and all I can say is 10/10! He communicated with me a few hours before my event started in case I had questions for him. My guests were all raving about the drinks and how amazing Paul was. Thank you Robert and Paul!
