“Some of the hottest items right now are ice sculptures and luges, lighted bars and fabulous specialty cocktails using bright colors, infused liquors and fresher ingredients.”
Your wedding is full of gorgeous design and delicate details, color scheme that match perfectly and intricately spiced hors d oeuvres to tempt even the most hesitant palate. If you've got a penchant for elegant — or entertaining — service from every aspect of your evening, don't forget the one piece the evening that can make your wedding the toast of the family. Let's face it, if the food is fabulous, the lighting and ambience superb, but there old beer, sour wine, and unenthusiastic people serving them, your wedding celebration could quickly turn unpleasant.
What if you're having a beautiful outdoor wedding in your parent green backyard, or at a venue that requires catering and bar service to t brought in separately? How can you guarantee your guests will be served properly mixed martini with the same suave service you'd get at a high scale bar?
That's where artisans such as Bartenders On the Go can come in and become a lifeline for your fete. Gary Ozuna, owner, stresses the hiring a professional service that focuses on bartending only is extremely important. Many caterers offer bartending services along with their food choices, but Gary reminds couples that while caterers specialize in food, Bartenders On The Go provides complete attention on beverages and the way they're mixed. "While I believe food is of the utmost importance, the party would probably not be a fun party without the bar," Gary says. Bartenders On The Go is a unique vendor in Milwaukee, as they not only work within a multitude of venues and locations, but they purposely hire licensed, enthusiastic and energetic bartenders who not only get excited about their work, but also strive to create a memorable experience for your guests.
Make sure your bartending staff will be proactive and involved in the evening. "I believe in hiring fun qualified bartenders who really want to be at an event," Gary divulges. "I don't put up with attitudes."
When looking for a bartending service, Gary recommends that couples come with a list of questions. Check if the company is licensed and insured, and whether the bartenders are qualified, fun, and yet professional in demeanor and appearance. Ask questions such as; will the bartenders card for underage guests? Will they cut off guests who have imbibed a bit too much? Request references. Find out if the company has the ability to walk into a space and see the possibilities, the best logistical flow to the bar, and whether they will do a walk-through of your space with other vendors involved in your day.
Gary also warns against allowing family or friends to bartend your event. "In our experience, they're only asking for trouble," Gary advises. "People are often over-served, underage people may drink and the couple may have extra responsibility in regards to liability." Plus, there is the risk of your friends or family also drinking too heavily behind the bar as they try to join in the festivities.
