Had two Shake Bartenders come out and pour beer for a charity kickball event (2nd year in a row). Great job! Long day of pouring for people drinking in the sun, and remained friendly and engaging. Will definite hire again!
Tara and the Shake team have been my 'go-to' team for the past five years and have done dozens of events for me both in my home and at the office - ranging in size from 16 to ~100. The reason they are my 'go-to' team is quite simply because they are stellar in every way.
They are consummate professionals who could not be more flexible, responsive and easy to work with, take outstanding care of my guests, work really hard and make it look so easy, provide tasty, interesting and innovatively presented food that always delights (and is therefore eaten - I hate waste and leftovers!) and gets lots of positive comments. Its no surprise to me that friends and colleagues who have met her at my events are now her clients - there can be no stronger validation of the quality of service and food.
I was very hesitant at first. They came in very professionally and brought things in quickly. The bartender was very friendly to everyone and made the most amazing drinks.
The people at the event were raving about how awesome the bartender looked. He had a very fancy beard and hair style. People absolutely loved it.
I'm definitely using this service again at our next event.
Tara and the Shake team catered an event we hosted at work, and I could not be more pleased! They were responsive and collaborative in advance of the event, covered details proactively, and were a pleasure to work with. They showed up early to set up--which was a relief since traffic downtown is so unpredictable!--and set up a beautiful spread of food and drinks. The service, quality of food, and attention to detail on site was fantastic. All of our attendees were thrilled with the delicious food and we had many comments about how lovely the food setup was. Our custom cocktail was really tasty too! I would highly recommend the Shake team.
We had Shake Bartenders come to our home to help us with a private party over the weekend. It was the best decision - the bartenders were awesome! They arrived an hour early and had everything set up and ready to go well before the party started. We had three cocktails available to our guests as well as local beers and wines. They also brought plenty of non-alcoholic beverages so there really was something for everyone. It was so nice to be able to host a party at home without worrying about running out of drinks. They were also fantastic when it came time to break down the bar and clean up. I can't imagine ever having another event without them there. Thank you to Tim and Thomas for a wonderful evening!
Working with Shake Bartenders was so easy. Tara made our event planning a breeze and she and her staff were very easy to work with. There were lots of little details I needed help with and she seemed up for any challenge or request I had for the event. If you're looking for a vendor that offers many services so you don't have to source multiple, work with Shake!
I recently hired Shakers to cater a holiday party at my house. At first I expected your standard bar plus some food appetizers to be given out to the guests. I was incorrect- Shakers showed up early and set up and incredible display via the bar, food and decor. This included beautiful food plates, menus, flowers, waters, desserts, extras, etc. Not to mention that everything was delicious. They were friendly, professional and super cool. After the party was done, they cleaned up and left my house spotless. All guests were blown away and asked for their contact information. I look forward to working with Shakers again. Thanks Tara!
The Seattle American Advertising Federation hosts a lot of events throughout the year, so Shake is our go-to bartender for our programs! The whole Shake team goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of: from initial planning to end-of-night cleanup. James is especially charming and our attendees adore him.
Can't wait to work with you guys for future events!
I was in contact with Tara the entire time and she was wonderful. Always quick to respond and was very kind.
Tim was our bartender on wedding day and he was awesome.
It was also a plus I could rent glasses from them AND I bought my event insurance through them. Made that SO much easier!!!
I'm so glad I picked them!
James was nothing short of pleasant! Recently had him as bartender for a holiday get together. Great service, professional, and super social with everyone.
Definitely recommend!
We are just a few days post my husband's/my 50th birthday bash and we cannot believe it took us this long to realize the right professional bartender is a "duh" if you want to assure a good time.
We'll never get those other parties back but James, our bartender for the night, made up for every party before James.
We have actually begun referring to our life in terms of "BJ"--the time Before James and "AJ"--the time After James. AJ people think we are super cool and throw the best parties ever. BJ they just thought we were nice guys who could cook. AJ our Facebook pages blew up! BJ...not so much. BJ we worried whether people would have fun at our parties. AJ we don't worry about that sort of thing.
We asked Shake Bartenders for a very specific personality charged with getting well behaved Seattlites to let their hair down and they sent the most perfect person that ever lived to do the job. You would have thought he was genetically engineered and hatched just for our friends.
What a blast! What a party! What a bartender! What a guy!
James (and of course Tara behind the scenes), we cannot thank you enough.
Darrin and Ian
Great experience with Shake. The business side was simple and easy to take care of and very reasonably priced. Chris was our bartender for our small wedding and he made sure everyone's glasses stayed full with a smile on his face. Thanks so much!
