    Incredible Event Bartending

    Throughout the entire planning process John was always available and kept close communication about any changes or concerns, making it nothing to stress over come crunch time for the wedding.

    For the event itself they gave us extra beers we didn't even request at no charge and did not charge us for a couple higher end liquors we asked for as well.

    The servers were absolutely incredible and accommodating for everything requested. When we were running low on tequila, they even ran to the store to restock without any hesitation.

    An absolute pleasure to work with and I will be highly recommending to anyone in need of bar service!

    Wedding bar service

    John’s team was incredible at our wedding. Drinks were flowing all night with impeccable service. John was THE most responsive and flexible vendor we worked with. He was always willing to go the extra mile for us and provided top notch value with quality options. It was a day we will never forget and you were an essential part of it. I strongly recommend their services to future weddings in the area.

    Highly Recommended!

    We will be forever grateful to John and his outstanding staff for making our bar service and DJ service memorable from start to finish. There were surprises at the bar such as two seasonal signature drinks that weren't on our menu but provided as a courtesy! Our guests raved about the drinks and all of the small touches in regards to the presentation of the bar. John was also the DJ. He was everything that he advertised himself to be: great with announcements, excellent sound, lights and really knew which songs to play at any given moment.

    My friends and family all gave high marks for their performance. I highly recommend them for any event.

    Great bartending and great DJing

    We hired NY Liquid Catering for a recent wedding and they went above and beyond for what we needed. Both the DJ service and bartending were top notch and they were communicative and responsive at every step of the process. I would absolutely hire them again for my next event, and I suggest you do too.

    Our wedding day

    Man I was impressed with the atmosphere he created for our open bar. We had around 90 or so people. He had people enjoying themselves. Definitely would book again.

    New York Liquid Catering's reply:

    Thanks for the praise, Aaron! Ellena and I loved being a part of your special day. Your guests were a fun and generous bunch! I hope we can work again for you in the future.

    Wonderful service

    John and his team were amazing! We had to adjust our wedding venue at the last minute due to covid restrictions... and finding this service online was a huge relief. John was very easy to work with and very prompt to reply... his offerings were a great value and he was extremely willing to work with any of our requests! The bartenders he had at our event were very friendly and we received many compliments from our guests. John had plenty of product supplied for the event and the service went far beyond our expectations. Lastly he was able to decorate our bar area in a way that made it both exciting and elegant. We cannot recommend him and this service enough!

    Fantastic bar service!

    John was so friendly, responsive, and accommodating and overall just wonderful to work with. He went above and beyond to get the local wines we requested for our wedding and provided everything we needed! We would highly recommend reaching out to NY Liquid Catering for your next event!

    Great communication

    John was very understanding of the changes made to our services given the circumstances. Having to reschedule because of Covid and a military deployment he always went above and beyond to make our day feel special and important. Responds very promptly via text , call and/or email. Unfortunately due to an unforeseen issue with our venue we weren’t able to use johns services. Professionalism was top notch!

    Above and Beyond

    This guy was beyond words just so easy....he accommodated us at every turn. Not once did he even flinch at our requests. Just an I got you! My nephew is new to DJing and didnt have his sound equipment....I was chatting with John about it and he was like I DJ to. I was like well we have a DJ thats new we really need someone with sound and mentoring skills. I laughed he laughed and said done. Gave us a very reasonable rate! Score....I think he missed his calling as a party planner cuz he had everything on point. We even ended up with celebrity bar tenders! Woohoo! It was epic! Thanks John for making our event even more memorable....and sooo incredibly easy! No one asked for a drink that wasnt able to be made! Until next time!

    New York Liquid Catering's reply:

    Maureen, I appreciate all the kind words! We hope to see you in the near future! We will go above and beyond once again and yes, a certain celebrity bartender shall be flown in from Vegas for the festivities!

    Stress Free

    We hired NY Liquid Catering for bar services and DJ services for our wedding. John was amazing in every way! We planned the wedding from Arizona and he was so helpful issues that arise from planning far away from the venue. He was so easy to get in contact with and he was always full of great ideas! He worked with every idea I had even ones that were untraditional. All the drinks were amazing and the music was great all night. John also checkin throughout the night to make sure we were happy with everything he was doing. If you want a stress free bar and DJ choose NY Liquid Catering!

    John did the bar tending for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding. He was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. From pricing to options to last minute changes! Very flexible and made sure we had everything we were looking for! Highly recommend!

    Great Service and Friendliest Crew

    Liquid Catering is very professional, offers multiple options allowing for customization of your wedding, extremely fun and friendly, and their prices are very fair for the high level of service they provide. When I first reached out to John, the owner, I noticed immediately he would be great to work with because we had such an easygoing conversation about a somewhat stressful topic. We had decided to use a different catering staff for the food than for the alcohol given how incredibly expensive the food catering company had become (but that’s a story for another day). In our searching, we came across Liquid Catering as a mobile alcohol caterer in upstate NY, which was ideal. Anyhow, leading up to the wedding, John was enthusiastic with a high level of energy and always available for a quick chat, making coordination a whole lot easier. The day of the wedding, the crew arrived early and was mostly set-up in two different locations. We had a 30 min. rain delay and they kept the crowd happy. Moreover, during the reception, John and his team were super open to our cross-cultural wedding and helped out with some MC’ing and were great working the crowd. We would highly recommend Liquid Catering for their great customer service, large selection of options, professionalism, enthusiasm and friendliness, and competitive prices! Thank you John!

    Great experience - Also a amazing DJ!

    John and his team were amazing! We planned our wedding long distance from California and got married in Upstate New York. We had not seen or met any vendors before the wedding. John worked with us through the planning process. He was really enjoyable to work with. Very patient and easy going. We also used John as our DJ. It was one of the best choices we made! (We did not think we wanted a DJ). John kept the party going and followed the mood of the crowd. It did not feel like a traditional wedding party. We will be booking John again when we go back home for another event!

    New York Liquid Caterer and his team are absolutely the best! They made our wedding something special. I loved being able to work with an individual "liquid" caterer instead because you were truly able to customize what you envisioned for your wedding. My husband and I highly valued having a good beer selection which they were able to offer us. While their quality of product and work was great their professionalism mixed with easygoingness made them such a pleasure to work with. The entire process was stress free, which I value in wedding planning. My guest also commented after the fact just how friendly all the bartenders were too and how they really enhanced the experience. So to put it simply, I very highly recommend working these guys and I have no doubt I would book them over and over again!

    Great to work with! Patient with me throughout the whole process of planning! Great experience overall and would highly recommend. Had some hiccups the day of, but they were remedied quickly with smooth sailing til the end!

    We had 230 guests at our reception last summer in Lonh Island. My husband and I were both amazed that the bar service remained perfect from start to finish. The staff had beer, wine, liquor, signature drinks and smoothies to make for 5 hours and not once was there a wait to be served. The best part for me was the DJ service. John knew that I loved 70s disco and he went all out with a great light show and the perfect mix of music. The highest compliment would be that my maid of honor hired him for her wedding right on the spot.

    Everyone Got Drunk!

    We had an awesome time with NY Liquid Catering, though we needed to ask them not to charge for wine at our open bar when they first opened the reception I wish I had met the bar staff in advance. They made a very strong cocktail as our signature drink which surprised a lot of people (bride included) many people got too drunk too quickly from it. I would suggest if you have a signature cocktail only serve it for a portion of the party not the entire time. We had an open bar with beer / wine/ champagne and a cash bar for liquor. The NYliquid team came a few days early to setup and we noticed he brought a few craft beers we hadn’t discussed to the bar, we appreciated that!

    Overall the bar certainly got everyone ready to party, some people definitely drank too much, but hey that’s why these guys are here for!!!!!

    Thanks so much.

    Decent bar service, unimpressive DJ

    We hired John and his team for our bar service, and also hired him for our DJ based on the reviews.

    As far as bar service, the bartenders were friendly and efficient and the drinks were good. John worked well with us to make sure all of the options we wanted were available, and guests really enjoyed the signature drinks. I would definitely recommend New York Liquid Catering for bar service.

    Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for John as a DJ. He was pretty disorganized and had many technical difficulties throughout the night. My husband was not happy that John set up the speakers for the ceremony about 20 minutes prior to our ceremony, and that the music was blasting in his ears the entire time. We had also sent John a list of music we wanted to hear, and well as songs for key moments with specific start and cutoff times for the dances. He had trouble following our instructions, and my husband and I were disappointed that we heard very few of the songs were had asked him to play. A few of our guests also made comments throughout the night about his poor DJ performance.

    Overall, I would say the bar service is definitely 5/5 and to book them if you need catering for your wedding, but to go with another DJ service if you are considering this one.

    Unprofessional & Unresponsive

    I booked this vendor over 6 months in advance of my wedding. They were supposed to arrive at 4pm for a 6pm bar. From 4 pm to 5pm when they actually arrived I had to call John the owner multiple times to track down his bartender. John was very dismissive and only gave excuses. Finally, I had to get the bartender's number from John and track him down myself. When the bartender arrived they were unprepared and we had to have our guests and the caterers help set up in time. They brought opened bottles of wine with them and were frankly rude and unapologetic. I would highly recommend avoiding this vendor if you do not want more stress on your big day.

    Poor communication. Arrived late. Poor service.

    My son had them provide bar service for the reception in Ithaca NY. When we told them they could start setting up at 4pm for 5:45 event they said they needed more time. We arranged for them to arrive at 3pm. They did not arrive at 3pm so we began calling them. We were told, he should be there for the next two hours. The bartender finally arrived 15 minutes before the reception. He told us he did not know about the event until a few hours ago. We and other guests helped him unload ice, warm beer and previously opened wine bottles. They only sent 1 person. He had no table to set up. The food caterer stepped in and helped. He was very unprofessional with the food caterer. He did not pick up empty bottles during the reception or provide any clean up service at the end of the reception. The food caterer did more than their fair share to make sure everything was taken care of and the guests were not impacted. We told the company about the poor service after the event, they said they would get back to us later that day. Several days later we contacted them again, they said they had been busy. Same thing we heard to day of the wedding. They are too busy to take care of customers. You should find someone else for your event. They did give us a portion of our payment back but did not really seem to care nor do I expect their service to change in the future.

    Absolutely horrible. A liquid caterer who doesn’t bring alcohol. Had to make a run for lemonade and used the park pavilions water for guests. The “baw

    Do NOT use this vendor. If there was a zero rating that is what they would get!! A very scantily dressed female showed up, no alcohol, used the water out of the park tap and had to make a run for lemonade….. no alcohol. The guests ended up going on the bridal party’s rented limo bus for drinks. The “bar tender” nose ring was hoola hooping!!! Can’t even make it up.
