We had such a great experience with our wedding bartending service! The bartenders (Missy, Jaimie, & Laura) were friendly, welcoming, and helped keep everything running smoothly throughout the reception. It was such a relief knowing the bar was taken care of so we could relax, enjoy our day, and celebrate with our family and friends. We really appreciated having a team that helped make things easy and stress-free on such an important day. The pre-wedding communication with the coordinator Lindsay was so easy as well. She made sure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions clearly and quickly! Thank you, Lancaster Bartending, for being part of our wedding and helping make our celebration so special! We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

My husband and I are so happy we chose Lancaster Bartending for our wedding! Lindsay was especially helpful when we were deciding on types and quantities of alcohol to purchase. The bartenders were fantastic at our wedding as well, and even set aside the last bit of liquor for me for a mixed drink during the reception, which was so thoughtful! We highly recommend Lancaster Bartending!😊

uests and made helpful suggestions while recommending alcohol quantities. We had a Lavender Lemonade (with and without Vodka) pre-batched as our signature drink, and I requested it not be too sweet. It was delicious and perfect. There was rarely a line at the bar because they were extremely efficient. We had to make the last minute call to move cocktail hour to be inside due to rain. They were flexible and moved everything through the rain to inside. I'm so, so grateful to them for that. Thank you for helping to make our wedding wonderful!

fficiently (even though there were a lot!) Our venue was very bare-bones (didn't even have their own trash bags) and was not always the easiest to work with I'm sure, but Lindsay and her staff kept their composure and were professional and eloquent while keeping our guests happy! The alcohol was not marked up and prices were all very transparent from the beginning with no hidden fees. The staff was so sweet and communicative leading up to the wedding and the day-of. As the bride, after ordering the same drink twice, they remembered what I was drinking and every time I started to walk in the direction of the bar they would have one ready for me. Little things like that go a long way and show how great and personable a vendor is to me. They never had to pester me or my husband with questions and kept things running very smoothly all night. You will not regret having them be a part of your special day!

The company was very communicative and provided sufficient advice on how many of what drinks to provide for our guest count. Overall a great experience and pleasure doing business with them!

Marisa R

ed the beverage logistics package, and we're so glad we did. From our first emails to our phone calls, Lindsay answered all our questions and ensured our guests would party all night long. She helped us determine what alcohol we should get, how much based on our guest count, and even delivered of it all to our venue, which was great because the ceremony venue was 30-40 minutes from the reception venue. Furthermore, at the end of our wedding reception, they packed the remaining alcohol, opened and unopened, into a family member's car. The entire process was honestly so easy, and we attribute that to Lancaster Bartending.

She provided an itemized list of options based on our budget that we were able to review prior to making final selections. We chose their packages for the alcohol, mixers, champagne pour, water station and NA drinks. They maintained professionalism throughout our event and guests had wonderful things to say about the service they provided. I highly recommend Lancaster Bartending for your wedding or other future events!
