    Straight Up Sideways was the perfect bar services & beverages provider for our wedding. From the beginning, they worked closely with us to understand our budget and vision, and then delivered an exceptional experience for our guests. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and creative - they crafted unique signature cocktails that perfectly complemented our wedding theme and personal tastes. Throughout the night, the bartenders were friendly, outgoing, and attentive, ensuring our guests never had an empty glass. We couldn't have asked for a better bar services partner to help make our special day truly memorable.
