talk of the party

The

Sarah & Ryland / Wedding

“Such a pleasure to have had Caroline and Nathan not just manning the bar at our wedding, but be so instrumental in the creation of our bar menu. I even asked if they would be willing to work with me on a special oddball request I had for one of our beverages, and when they found they could do it, they went out of their way and made it happen! Being someone who cares about food and beverage, it was so important to me to have creative, skilled people with us on our wedding day - and they killed it! One thing I really loved that made our cocktail hour run smoothly was that they got a whole gang of specialty cocktails made up and on our bar while we were at our ceremony, which meant no ten mile lines waiting for a drink at our wedding! Beyond this, they both have such a great presence and were such a key part of the team.”

"The Parched Poppies were great to work with for my wedding and I highly recommend them! They helped with planning the bar menu and amounts, allowed for fun personalized customizations like drink toppers and cocktail napkins, and had great communication throughout the whole process. They offered additional services like a donut wall to rent which we loved. The day of the event they kept up with the guests demand and ensured everyone had a good time, they paused the bar as requested during big moments and looked out for those who needed some water instead of another drink. They were fun, professional, and most of all they handcrafted the most beautiful and delicious cocktails for our special day! The bar was truly a highlight at our wedding, thanks to the Parched Poppies :)"

HANNAH & JARED / WEDDING

We recently celebrated our 20th anniversary with an Italian-themed vow renewal/party on our property, and hiring bartenders The Parched Poppies was one of the best decisions we made for the event. From the initial consultation to the last drink served, they exceeded our expectations in every way.

Firstly, their professionalism was outstanding. Caroline and Nathan arrived punctually and immediately set up their station without any fuss. They were courteous and friendly throughout the evening, making our guests feel welcome and ensuring everyone had a great time. Their expertise in mixing cocktails was evident; each drink was crafted with precision and flair.

The quality of service was impeccable. Despite the lively atmosphere of our party, the bartenders maintained a smooth flow at the bar, efficiently managing orders and keeping wait times minimal. They were attentive to details, from ensuring glasses were always filled to neatly organizing their workspace throughout the event.

The Parched Poppies went above and beyond to personalize our experience. They offered creative suggestions for signature cocktails that perfectly complemented our theme and even accommodated last-minute requests with ease. Their flexibility and readiness to adapt to our needs made the entire planning process stress-free. Having additional options (personalized bar menu, yard games, and additional non-alcoholic beverage options) really added to our event!

Overall, The Parched Poppies played a crucial role in making our anniversary party a resounding success. Their combination of skill, professionalism, and customer-focused service truly set them apart. We would highly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch bartending services for their special events.
