What local hosts say

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! PJ Bartending was the preferred bartending vendor for our venue, and after I admittedly dropped the ball on booking bartenders sooner. I was praying they would still be able to accommodate us on short notice.

Our 30th wedding anniversary was truly unforgettable thanks to Jameca of Pour It Up. The talented bartender who crafted a series of signature mocktails that brought an extra layer of magic to the evening.

My husband and I were gifted this experience for Christmas and we absolutely LOVED it! The class is two hours and they provide everything you need to make three cocktails. The bar tenders working the class were so friendly, professional, and helpful. The drinks themselves were absolutely delicious.
