Hey, Bartender!

Best service ever! Always on time, always friendly, and always professional! They called early the day of the event to confirm arrival times verify all information and see if there was anything else needed, relieved a lot stress! Showed up on time, dressed well, and set up quickly! Guests absolutely loved them, there was never an empty cup, and they helped in other areas walking around taking plates and refilling drinks. They really made the party and made me look like a professional party planner:-). This is my second time using them and would never use anyone else. Thanks Chad you’re the best!

Thank you Thank you for everything!!! If you need a bartender service for anything, this is the only service you should even consider. The staff is awesome! I celebrated my company anniversary party over the Memorial Holiday and everyone commented on how amazing our Bartender was! She was positive and courteous and truly went above and beyond for my party! Big Thanks to all of Hey Bartender staff and to Chad for making it possible.

#1 for service!!! Used Chad and his crew for every event I have! Always on time, friendly and make sure things are spotless before they leave. Staff is wonderful about communicating and making sure my event is handled from start to finish. If you have a wedding or event look no further!

We’ve used Hey Bartender now for a couple events (work and personal). Each time they have been great. This last weekend we had Christian, he was early for set up and was ready for the first guests to arrive. It really does make the party much easier when you don’t have to worry about all the drink making, especially with our crowd.
I heard he made a great margarita from several of the guests.
I find it very easy to work with Hey Bartender. Chad always gets back to me when I have questions, it takes away the stress.
Thanks Hey Bartender.

These guys came in our package so we had no choice, and had never even met them before the night of our wedding.
First of all, I accidentally forgot my driver’s license in my hotel room and the guy was giving me such a hard time almost wouldn’t serve me. (Sorry I am the Bride, had a few other things on my mind. Plus I am 25 didn’t think it was going to be an issue at MY wedding.)
Second of all, they were jerks! I had at least 5 different guests mention to me that our wedding was absolutely perfect, except the bartenders were rude.
My family is a big fan of whiskey on the rocks. We are not the type to mix soda in with our perfectly good liquor. Our bartenders REFUSED to pour a drink straight up.
It’s not even like my guests were crazy and out of control! I mean I can understand if people were getting sloppy ordering shots shots shots. But this was NOT the case. This was at the very BEGINNING of the night!
The last straw was me, standing up at the bar for at least 2 minutes before either of them even looked over to me! THE BRIDE! While waiting for a drink I overheard a nasty remark one of them made about MY father-​in-​law coming behind the bar to ask for a drink. HE PAID FOR ALL THE ALCOHOL! Have some respect.
As far as I am concerned these guys do not deserve to work ANY wedding ever.

Great communication from beginning to end. Our bartender was amazing! All our guests were pleased and our wedding was a big success! Thank you!

We paid a $ 500 tip for two bartenders to handle our 225 person wedding so our guests would not have to tip. I spoke to the owner of Hey Bartender — Chad — specifically about this — ‘NO TIPPING — I WILL PAY A $ 500 GENEROUS TIP. I personally spoke to both bartenders before the wedding began NO TIPPING ALLOWED — I AM PAYING $ 500 FOR YOUR TIP. In the few days that followed, guests told me they asked the bartenders where the tip jar was and the bartender said it’s behind the bar over here. They then hustled my guests for tips throughout the night and then took my $ 500 at the end of the night. VERY UNETHICAL. In addition, they were not set up properly by the time the wedding began. The lines for drinks were unacceptably long for the first hour and ½, due to their poor preparation. They provided poor service, a bad attitude from one of the bartenders and they essentially stole from my guests… and me. Do not use Hey Bartender. I told the wedding venue that hired them as part of our wedding package about what had happened and that I wanted my $ 500 tip back, since they double dipped, and of course Hey Bartender refused. Find someone else.

Very Satisfied! Recently used them for my wedding. Purchased the non-​alcoholic package and brought our own beer, wine, spirits. The two bartenders were very professional AND fun! They had a great time but knew when to cut off the guests that went a bit overboard :) The pricing was competitive. The customer service was great leading up to event as well with prompt email and phone communication. Only word of caution is they don’t provide drinking water before event starts so bring extra!

For the most part the bartender did what he was supposed to in that drinks were served. The problem I had was in his poor attitude. The bartender was seriously rude and condescending to my groomsman, disrespectful to my sister when simply asked if he had a certain kind of soda and was overheard by guests bad mouthing the beer we provided, saying it was «cheap». My wife and I put so much hard work and spent so much of our money doing everything we could to provide an amazing experience for my guests and was really bothered to be so criticized by someone who’s supposed to be there to make it a better experience for everyone.
By the end of the night I did my best to put it behind me and let it go as best I could. Several days later I replied to a request by Hey Bartender to do an anonymous survey and my worst criticism was simply that the bartender needs to work on his customer service and watch how he talks to people. Two weeks later I received the most unprofessional, back handed «apology» email I’ve ever read from Chad, the owner of Hey Bartender, lashing out about how if it had been him at my wedding he would have thrown my groomsman off the property and that we should be grateful to the bartender. Never once did Chad address the issue of the disrespect and poor customer service which was the single issue that we had. I’m amazed that he’s in the customer service industry!
So, if you don’t mind being patronized and will stand in line and not ask to be shown any respect whatsoever, than by all means, hire Chad Zaneis and Hey Bartender. Good luck…

I used Hey, Bartender! for my wedding this past weekend, and I cannot recommend them enough!
First, the price is great and the deposit to hold your date is very minimal. We initially thought we would just want to buy our own alcohol and have someone serve it, but Hey, Bartender! had extremely reasonable prices for their open bar packages that include beer, wine, and liquor, especially since it included all mixers, ice, garnishes, cups, etc. They also had packages for every budget. They offer to serve your own alcohol, beer and wine only packages, all the way up to top-​shelf liquor packages. Plus, they are fully licensed and insured.
Second, they are incredibly responsive. From the time I submitted info for a quote, to the week before the wedding, they responded to every email within a few hours.
Most importantly, the bartender we had rocked! He was timely, super friendly, and quick at serving up drinks. I had several guests compliment our bartender. He even came up to my husband and I after we arrived at the reception to get our drink order since we were being swamped by guests trying to say «hi.»
After we booked Hey, Bartender!, I realized I had been to two other events they worked at. The bartenders at those events were top-​notch as well.
If you are having any kind of event where you might need a bartender, stop looking and go call Hey, Bartender!

Hey Bartender was great on short notice, thorough and great for the event we had. The online payment option made taking care of business easy — we’ll definitely bring them back for future events!

We had Christian as our bartender on Saturday night in our home for a birthday celebration. We thought having the bar help would be a special treat for our guests as well as for ourselves. We could not have been more pleased. Christian was wonderful with us and our guests, personable, funny, on the ball and helping us keep the party going. Christian was on time, professional, and his bar area was the cleanest place in the house the next morning! We will definitely be requesting his services again at our next party! Thank you Christian and Hey Bartender!

Great prices for all you can drink packages! They did an awesome job at my wedding a couple weekends ago!

Mr. Zaneis at Hey Bartender provides top shelf customer service and definitively excellent mixology mastery… In all seriousness, a great person running a great business. It would be a disservice to you and your guests to employ the services of anyone else. I have only had a need for his services three times over the last couple years but all three were seamless. The only downside is that his professionalism and cheerful nature have consistently been more memorable to my guests than my attempts at making my own hors d‘ oeuvres.
