Mix & Mingle Bartenders are amazing! They just did my wedding and from start to finish they were a pleasure to work with. Nikhil, the owner, is so responsive from the first inquiry up through my wedding day. He is so accommodating and helpful in working through event logistics. They offer so many add-ons and really do provide full service bartending. Lorena and Cassie actually worked our event and they were also amazing. They were so sweet and there was hardly ever a line at the bar. It also rained quite a bit on our day but they had a great attitude the entire time and rolled with the punches. On top of everything, their drinks are delicious! I would 100% recommend them for any event you are looking for bartenders for. They were probably my favorite vendor from my whole event because Nikhil is so great to work with and really tries to make his clients lives easier. I hope I get to work with them again soon!

We didn’t run out of drinks until the last 30 mins (we also extended their service those last 30 mins) and barely had alcohol left at the end of the night! We would recommend Mix & Mingle for any event.

ive ideas that we would have never thought of! They built the champagne tower, gave us a thorough purchase list for the cocktails, and they created the most beautiful and personal “signature drinks” menu for our wedding. I am so thankful for their hard work, for their AMAZING prices, and I absolutely recommend them to everyone. They made us tasty drinks all night! They also had positive attitudes that you couldn’t put a price on. Thank you for making our wedding magical and all our guests happy.

I can’t say enough great things about Mix & Mingle. We hired Nikhil and his team for our wedding on 4/11/26 in La Jolla, and they were phenomenal. They were incredibly easy to work...

with, responsive, and reasonably priced. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual and kept the drinks flowing all night. They were so accommodating to all of our requests—handling welcome drinks, pouring wine during dinner service, and making everything feel seamless. Our guests loved interacting with them and couldn’t stop talking about how great the drinks were. We offered three cocktails (strawb margarita, gin & tonic, and a bay breeze), and the team supplied all the mixers, syrups, and decorative garnishes while we provided the alcohol. They also helped us plan out our alcohol purchases by quantity and volume, which made a huge difference! Highly recommend for any wedding or event—we would absolutely hire them again. Thanks again to Nikhil and the team!
