    I cannot say enough good things about Amaro. From start to finish, Dean was an absolute gem. Not only is he a consummate professional when it comes to bartending, but he is a truly kind and thoughtful person, and I could tell he wanted to make sure our day was as perfect as we wanted it to be. My husband and I don't drink, and Dean was amazing at helping us select drinks that our guests would enjoy, and also at helping us develop beautiful mocktails that we could enjoy. Both he and Kate were hits at our wedding, and long after the special day our guests continued to rave about how fun and kind they both were. Now, we can't imagine the day without them :)

    This means so much to us - thank you! From our first conversation, it was clear how thoughtful you both were about creating an experience your guests would genuinely enjoy. Helping you build a custom wedding cocktail menu and especially creating beautiful no-proof cocktails that felt every bit as special for the two of you was an absolute pleasure. We loved being part of your wedding day, and hearing that your guests were still talking about the drinks and the bar is about the best compliment we could receive. Thank you for trusting Amaro with such an important celebration!

    We had Dean and Kate bartend our wedding weekend and they were truly outstanding. I lost count of the number of times I heard "your bartenders rock". And, seriously, the drinks were excellent. Never had a better cocktail at a wedding! You'll want to hire them (and be their friend) ASAP.

    Amaro Bartending assisted us with an event recently and after coming to us highly recommended they still exceeded every expectation. From the adorable way they set up our greenhouse to function as a bar, to their professionalism, kindness, excellent communications and genuine concern that our event turnout as well as possible, they came through at every opportunity. This is a company you want to support and help contribute to their success and they will help you relax and feel confident your event will be a success.

    That is the nicest thing you could have said Kelly! Thank you so much. We were honored to be a part of your event and are so happy it was such a success. Let's raise a glass together again soon!

    We hired Amaro for our wedding reception of ~50 guests, and were incredibly impressed at the level of service we got for the price. The bartender that served for our event came with a full setup of risers, displays and decorative lighting for the banquet tables that the venue provided for the bar area, which completely transformed that space and gave our reception the ambiance of a mature and classy bar. Guests were loving the setup, and the actual bar service was top notch-- the bartender was well-dressed, polished, and displayed great physical handling of bar tools and drinks without being overly flashy in a way that would detract from the vibe. And the drinks were awesome! I really can't think of anything I would have had them do differently, this was exactly what we wanted at our reception. Amaro was great with communication before the event too, they were quick to respond to all of our questions so we felt comfortable that every aspect of beverage service was in good hands for our day, and everything we discussed they fully delivered on. I would absolutely recommend Amaro for anyone seeking mobile bar services, they were a treat and we will be keeping them in mind for any future big parties we might have.

    Thank you so much for saying all of that! It was our pleasure to be a part of your reception - your guests all had great energy and were cracking us up all night!

    5 stars; 6 if we could. Incredible experience having Amaro bartend our wedding. Dean was so, so helpful, responsive, and easy to work with during the planning process. We had no idea what we were doing and he took all of our dumb questions and adjustments in stride. Kate was our bartender on the big day and she was absolutely wonderful. Everyone loved her and I knew within 30 seconds of her arriving that I was not going to have to worry about the bar at all throughout the night. She had everything on lock. Stop your bartender search. You found the company you've been looking for. Hire Amaro immediately. We cannot recommend them enough.
