(As seen on Yelp) “I can’t say enough great things John’s Bartending Service. Both John and Janet, our server, did a phenomenal job. We used the service for my wife’s 40th. Every guest was highly complementary of not just the drinks but the service and hospitality. John and Janet went above and beyond all evening long. Can’t wait to use them again!”–October 7, 2023

(As seen on Yelp) “We used John’s Bartending Services for our party last weekend and both our server, Lynn, and bartender, Toni, went above and beyond! They were incredibly helpful, friendly, professional, and effective. Toni’s drinks were also fabulous! All of the guests complemented both of them throughout the entirety of the night and will likely inquire about using their services moving forward. Also, John was so easy to work with, flexibly, and accommodating. Thank you John and team for helping to make our night a success!”–August 26, 2023

He gave us a lot of great advice on how to plan and prepare. The day of event they were fantastic. They made good drinks, and also made sure the guests were happy.

(As seen on Yelp) “I, along with my husband, hosted a Celebration of Life dinner event yesterday at our home honoring my late father. Many family members were unable to attend the military internment in Florida last month and so I hoped to enable those in the Chicago area to have a meal together and share our happy memories. But our guest list of 32 was going to stretch our hosting capacity and I knew we would be too busy to speak with anyone present and simultaneously set up the buffet, provide drinks, do the considerable post meal clean up and so on. I read umpteen 5 star reviews of John’s Bartending Services and decided to hire him and his wife–he tended bar and every aspect of beverage serving, she dealt with everything related to multiple food items, and they overlapped duties if one was busier than the other. At the end of the event, buoyed by our enjoyment of an effortless experience, we both wanted to do a commercial for this outstanding, friendly, professional, and intuitive team. Kudos and thank you to John and Janet!”–April 30, 2013

I’ve never had hired help to host a party and thanks to John and his team I will never have another party without them as part of the planning. Thank you for being awesome, super flexible and VERY catering to my needs.” February 2, 2023
