  Cathy and her Martini's Etc team are heaven-sent. We self-catered our 180-person wedding and needed a knowledgeable, flexible, and top-notch serving and bartending team to help us pull it off. Martini's Etc was all that and more. Cathy helped us write our shopping list and detailed timeline. The bartenders were excellent, fun and professional. On the day of, when rain nixed our original outdoor family-style dinner plan, the servers created a gorgeous indoor buffet that our guests loved. Their flexibility and innovation absolutely saved the day, and they did it with a smile and positive attitude. And at a great value! I can't say it enough-- you have to book these guys. Thank you Cathy and team for an amazing day!

  Cathy's staff is always on time, very friendly and fun. The bar area, even during the busiest time during the event, looked neat and professional. Cathy is a true artist when coming up with new specialty martini. The area is always left clean which is more than I can say about other services.

  Martini's did a great job at our 30th high school reunion! Would not hesitate to use them again.

  I used Martini's Etc. to help with a graduation party. They were outstanding! Cathy knew what I needed even before I did! I got to actually enjoy the party and my guests instead of worring about the food, cleanup, etc. I highly recommend Martini's Etc. for any event.

  We had a wonderful experience with Martini's Etc. Cathy was quick to respond and easy to get in touch with leading up to our wedding. She helped us figure out how many drinks we needed to purchase. On the day of everything ran very smoothly and she even sent along a wine glass for myself and my husband, which was incredibly thoughtful. We are very happy with our choice and certainly recommend!

  Cathy did a great job at our wedding. She was prompt in her responses to my questions, and she handled our homemade cocktails with ease. She blended in to our day seamlessly, and made sure everyone was having a great time all night!

  We hired Cathy and Martini's Etc. for our wedding and rehearsal dinner last month. She was quick to respond by our inquiries by phone or email and hopped on the phone for an initial consultation to walk through everything. When it came to sign up her services for our event, she didn't have a contract outlining the details of the engagement, rather she had a standard invoicing system to collect a deposit. For other vendors, we insisted on a detailed contract but trusted that our email correspondence would be sufficient for outlining the event.
  
  She was quick to respond to emails but it took quite a few back and forth emails to settle on a finalized grocery list, since we would be supplying our own alcohol. We have never had to buy this volume of alcohol for an event before but we had to crosscheck with a number of lists online to ensure that we were getting everything that we would need. Initial lists were missing certain mixers and responses were sometimes vague (regarding garnishes, what quantities of alcohol needed to be ordered, and tip jars), requiring further communication for clarification.
  
  However, once the event came around, Cathy and her crew did a great job keeping cups overflowing. We had a big crew (close to 200 people) and different bars that were open during different parts of the evening and they stayed on top of the crush of people. We appreciate the little gift of the shot glasses as well.

  Cathy and her staff were professional and the price is fair. Be sure to get everything in writing, especially if you discuss details over the phone. Cathy and I had a phone conversation early on in the planning stages, then some details we had discussed were not honored.

  We hired this service as they are very reasonably priced, however you get what you pay for. I would recommend spending a little more money and you will surely be glad you did. We were very disappointed with their service and would not recommend them to brides and grooms who want a smooth bar service with friendly and competent bartenders.

  As noted in other reviews, make sure you get a print version of the contract and note any changes that you discuss. You will not be given one automatically and won't be able to review it unless you request it - an oversight that almost cost us hundreds of dollars more. Our guests complained of cold, unfriendly bar service, and when this was relayed after the fact, we were met with a hostile, defensive response that truly changed my opinion of a customer-serving bartending service. I expected more and was incredibly disappointed with the service we received.
