    10/10 Bar Service!

    Working with Raising The Bar was such a fantastic experience! Payge provided prompt communication before the event, finalizing details and logistics for our lovely couple so they could relax and fully experience their wedding day. What really stood out day of was how much of a team player she was- checking in with our entire vendor team and offering help to anyone who needed it. She was truly invested in making this day great for our couple. Her and her team got drinks out quickly while keeping guests entertained as they ordered. Payge isn't just a talented bartender- she's genuinely a great person who brought such a positive energy to the day. You can really tell how much they focus on guest experience. Highly recommend Raising the Bar to anyone in need of bar service!

    Payge is wonderful to work for and work with. She’s the absolute best mixologist around. The best drinks I’ve ever had have been made by her. You will not regret hiring RTB for your next event!

    Fully Raised the Bar

    Raising the Bar was absolutely phenomenal and one of the easiest wedding vendors we worked with. Communication leading up to the wedding was excellent. Our phone calls made us feel completely prepared and clear on what we needed to take care of versus what they would handle. On the wedding day, setup was prompt, service was wonderful with our guests, and Payge even lent a hand after the event. We heard so many compliments about the bar service, and our signature margarita and strawberry lemonade were both huge hits. What really stood out was how attentive and helpful the service was from beginning to end. We felt like they genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly, and that kind of care meant a lot to us. Professional, friendly, reliable, and willing to go above and beyond. We could not recommend Raising the Bar more highly.
