“THANK YOU so much for everything! We are over the moon with your bartending services. You have been absolutely amazing throughout the planning stages, from your fantastic drink recommendations to the meticulously crafted liquor lists.
The drinks were hands down the best we’ve ever had at a wedding. All of our guests were raving about the cocktails, loved your wonderful personalities, and were impressed by the fabulous bar setup.
Thank you for being such an integral part of our wedding day. With so much uncertainty about the weather and having an outdoor wedding, knowing that our drinks and bar setup were in your expert hands was a huge relief.”

“Shake and Strain was a wonderful kick off to my sister’s bachelorette weekend. Gab and Jackie were prompt and clear in all communication and provided a seamless onsite experience for our group. The cocktails were delicious, on theme, and creative. Our entire group enjoyed their cocktail lesson as well as the flexibility to make drinks at their own pace at curated stations. It was helpful that all mixers and glassware were provided and our home was left spotless when the class concluded which is always appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this vendor to groups looking to have a casual, in home cocktail experience.”

“I have hosted two parties with Gabrielle and Jackie, and both were absolutely amazing! The first party was based around all of my favorite martinis, and attended by 10 friends. We laughed all night and enjoyed each other's company while actually learning something. One friend commented she felt better about going to a bar and ordering a different drink. The next party I had was a custom-made Girl Scout cookie and cocktail pairing class. Is there anything better than cookies and alcohol?”
