Planning the menu should not be the hardest part. 😩

Seriously. We've seen people spend more time worrying about food than actually planning the fun parts of their event.

One phone call could solve all of that. Just saying. 😉

📞 Stop stressing and start celebrating. Call us at (919) 444-8341 to book.

Your team has worked hard all year. Your holiday celebration should reflect that 🙌

Think about it: late nights, tight deadlines, projects that pushed everyone to show up and deliver. Your people earned more than pizza in the breakroom.

They deserve a celebration that actually feels like one.

That's where we come in. We handle the food, the setup, and of course, the bartending, so you can focus on celebrating the humans who made this year happen.

Let's make this one count 👉 984-468-5550

Let's be honest, those networking mixers can get a little stale. 😩

Same conversations, same bland cheese cubes, same awkward small talk.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

The right bartender can transform a professional gathering from "when can I leave?" to "wait, is it over already?" 🥹

What's the worst networking event signature cocktail you've encountered? 👇
