unMuddled Bartending Co. 

5.0

  • Serves River Forest, IL

Located in Chicago, IL, unMuddled Bartending Company is a versatile and friendly team of wedding bartenders. These skilled mixologists make cocktails look easy. We put our own unique spin on serving drinks, helping to craft "experiential menus." The team’s engaging and efficient approach entertains guests and keeps the line moving.

Ross and the UnMuddled team were phenomenal from the first email until the end of our wedding. We would pick them every single time if we did it again. Their initial questionnaire and our ideas helped the team to find the perfect blend of drink options. The cocktails vibed well with our vision (subtle tiki inspiration), and the team’s genuine investment in making our wedding memorable was felt by us and all our guests. More specific details outlined below. Process - extremely responsive; opportunities for tweaks throughout; always felt like there was full transparency in their pricing and rationale; never felt like we were being upsold Cocktails - unique ideas that were approachable, complex, and well-balanced; people are still mentioning how good the drinks were months after the wedding Service - attentive and personable; my sister-in-law is a graphic designer, and UnMuddled worked with her to design a custom menu with our pets incorporated; consistency in drink taste/quality from tasting to wedding day and between bartenders was exceptional

I've had the great pleasure of working with On The Go Jo Coffee both professionally and personally, and I can attest to the amazing experience this crew puts together! We hosted the On The Go Jo Spring Showcase last year at Loft on Lake, which was a wonderful success, with wonderful vendor partnerships, amazing decor and delicious specialty coffee drinks served throughout the night. I also worked with On The Go Jo to have their specialty coffee cart for our wedding reception last September, with rave reviews from our guests! No need for the basic, boring coffee station... bring in a cool, interactive experience for your guests where they can choose between coffees that are so beautifully crafted. You deserve to have good coffee at your wedding or event, you will NOT be disappointed!!

I have worked with MGM a number of times. The bartenders are not only experienced and create quality beverages, the service matches the high standard owner Marie expects from her staff. I would recommend using their service if you are looking for a reasonably priced, quality-driven beverage service with the ability to upgrade to unique experiences that Marie and MGM offers.

The Voyaging Alchemist: Mobile Coffee and Cocktail Bar 

5.0

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves River Forest, IL
  • Offer

I began my work as a barista when I moved to Chicago from Florida for my BFA. I fell in love with the energy of the city and of my little shop. From drink design to customer service to simple conversations that left all involved with a grin. Sadly, that little shop closed and I decided to make the move from coffee to cocktails. I spent the next year working my way from bar back to main bartender. With my new title came new adventures in event coordination, and cocktail design. Which brings us to today, where I have the privilege of working with couples to create unique drinks that have their guests coming back for more.

We hired Laura to bartend for our holiday Open House which entailed serving 60 people over 4 hours as well as creating 2 seasonal drinks "Muletide Greetings" and ""Good Tidings of Gin" (both with or without alcohol). We had never had a bartender before and it turned out to be the hit of the party. Guests loved the drinks as well as her personable, professional service and Jan and I especially loved that we didn't have to worry about refilling drinks and could just chat and laugh with all of our company. We are definitely going to bring Laura back for our next big event in the summer. She worked with us in advance to plan the drink menu and shopping list and arrived an hour early and set up a professional, welcoming, festive bar and her holiday (pictured). She kept the bar clean and orderly and when things got slow circulated to ask people what they wanted. She also has the perfect personality - pleasant and professional and not over the top gabby. It is all about featuring the home and family and not her. She left the bar as clean as when she came and bottom line, we could not have asked for more. She earned and deserved our highest rating and recommendation.

The bar added a beautiful touch to the wedding I attended. Not only that but drinks were amazing! They had drink specials that matched the wedding theme which was a fun touch to the event. The drinks were made with fresh juices and garnished with fresh fruit. But beware of the watermelon candy shots they were dangerously good.
