I recently needed a bartender on short notice for a late-night party. John Hines was easy to contact and work with. He proved his bartenders to be licensed and insured. James showed up for the job early & was nicely dressed in black pants and a black Bartenders Express golf style shirt. James was helpful and a hard worker/professional throughout our function. I can strongly recommend John Hines / Bartenders Express for your next party. I know I will hire them again"

“I had an engagement party for my son and future daughter-in-law with over 100 people in attendance. Kate and James from Bartenders Express did an amazing job. Kate took charge and knew exactly what to do. James was always checking and refilling food, drinks, etc. I was able to enjoy the party without any worries. I am definitely going to use this service again.”

“I contacted John at Bartenders Express just a few short weeks before my wedding. He was able to work with me despite the time constraint and helped me to keep within my budget. John was flexible and communicative throughout the process. Ultimately he and his team did a phenomenal job at my wedding. They were friendly and gracious, not to mention extremely professional. Thank you, John and the whole Bartenders Express team!”

“We were beyond pleased with the service we received from Bartenders Express — from our initial booking through our event and most highly recommend them. We hosted a backyard wedding for 100 people and had a Chef come up from Greenwich CT to prepare passed appetizers and a family-style meal. We hired Bartenders Express to man the bars and serve the food (having staff come from Greenwich to our house in New Haven would have been very expensive). Bartenders Express gave us a great price for two bartenders and five servers so we decided to book, the service came highly recommended in the reviews I found online. Although I have to admit I was nervous about a staff that didn’t know the Chef serving family-style to 100 guests in a backyard tent in all of my dialogue with John leading up to the event I knew we were in good hands. He and his team were always gracious and responsive. The day of our wedding seven lovely staff showed up early (!) … they were all professional and engaging with guests. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We highly highly recommend Bartenders Express for great, friendly service at a fair price.”

“We loved Bartenders Express! They arrived early, set up, and were a great addition to our party — in fact, the focus of our party! They talked and mixed easily with guests and continually, and conspicuously, walked around the party, picking up discarded cups, plates, and napkins and discarded them! We loved them and couldn’t say enough good things. We will definitely hire them again for our parties and recommend them above all the other Connecticut bartenders we contacted/interviewed. FANTASTIC SERVICE!”

“My small nonprofit group had a casual social event that we had a limited budget for but for legal purposes needed a bartender. John was very responsive and accessible over email. His rates were reasonable and he was very accommodating. He arrived on time and even stayed a few minutes late despite the roads being a bit messy 3 days after a historic blizzard! He was appropriately professional and friendly. Would definitely use his company again anytime.”

The bar was set up very nicely, the staff was so friendly and professional, and they really did a nice job mixing and pouring. We really enjoyed their presence as much as their drinks, and it was nice to not have to worry about complications from a self-serve stands or manning the bar with volunteers.”

One event could have been a problem, there was confusion over who was responsible regarding service, the staff took it upon themselves to address the issue without hesitating – saving the day, making us all look good, and most important making the bride so very happy. Thanks.”

“I’ve been working in the wedding business for 8 years as a performer so, I had very clear expectations when it came time for my own. Bartenders Express provided chairs and bartending service for our wine and beer bar. Our bartenders were very friendly and relaxed (a handful of my guests commented on this.) From the business end of things, I appreciated how communicative and responsive John was. We had a couple of curveballs to throw such as picking up alcohol from my friend’s wine shop, picking up ice just before the bar opened, insurance paperwork that was required by our venue, and on a few days notice John was able to get 180 chairs (and set them up) for our ceremony. I’d recommend Bartenders Express in a heartbeat.”

Debra R.,

“We found Bartenders Express to be very well organized both before and during our event. They arrived early on the day of the event and had their station set up and ready to go in plenty of time for when our guests arrived. John was able to also help out in renting tablecloths and had other items available if needed. John and his colleague James were attentive to my guests’ needs and I received many compliments from guests on the bartending service. Clean up was done quickly and the overall cost was extremely reasonable.”

“I held a surprise anniversary party for my parent’s 25th anniversary. I contacted John with hopes he can provide efficient bartending and waitstaff service, and he did just that! I was impressed with the way the waitresses took over and I did not have to worry about a single thing! Bartenders Express showed up on time, provided superb service throughout the whole party, and made sure everything was cleaned up by the time our party was over. I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Bartenders Express and would highly recommend them.”

“We would definitely recommend Bartenders Express! 5 Stars! It was our first time hiring a bartender for our home party and I would absolutely do it again. Carl arrived 1 hour before the party started to make sure the setup was complete before guests arrived. He was very professional and super friendly with all our guests and his drinks were D’lish! Our guests were very impressed and told us it was the “best party!”

“Your crew did awesomely. There were a few minor issues like lack of ice and running out of wine and vodka early that was beyond their control. They handled it with my sister without bothering me and my bride and we really appreciate that. I felt bad for them being out in the cold but they seemed to be ok. I checked on them often, and they couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful, especially at the end with loading the leftovers back in my car.
Thank you for everything. I will be recommending you to a friend of mine who is getting married there next year.”

“I would definitely use Bartenders Express again! They were very professional yet laid back enough to interact with and have a few laughs. They met all of my requirements as far as making all of the specific holiday cocktails and carried out my expectations in relation to the presentation of each drink (glasses with sugar rims, candy, lite cubes, etc), and believe me, I had A LOT of requests as I’m all about the presentation & details!! LOL! Everyone had a great time!! A big thank you to John and his staff for a successful holiday event!!! :)”

“I was looking for a bartender for a surprise 30th and when I googled it Bartenders Express came up so I read their reviews and I decided to go ahead with them. I emailed John and he answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The prices were good. Kathie was our bartender and she was great. She has such a nice personality. The drinks were good, some guests thought they were to strong at first but when we told them if they can make them lighter they did. He’s easy to work with and also walked around the room and cleaned cups and plates off the table. I would totally use them again for future parties and recommend them to family and friends.”

Once my guests arrived, I did not need to do anything. They handled all the setup, serving the food, and clean up, so my husband and I were able to enjoy our company.

“I booked Bartenders Express for my wedding at the Webb Barn. They were fantastic! They showed up promptly and set up efficiently, and were awesome through the event! They were incredibly friendly, quick, and kept everyone happy. They even made me a special supply of my favorite drink when the supplies for it were running lower so that I (the bride) could continue getting my favorite even though I was super busy and couldn’t get over to the bar myself. They were also super flexible with a number of changes I made within the last week. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a great bartending service!”
