Reviews of Drink Slingers (Event Planner)

Charles Green

I contracted with Nannette to provide two bartenders for my daughter's wedding last Saturday in Georgetown. Prior to the event, her suggestions were very helpful and her communications were timely....even met us at the venue to check out logistics. The two bartenders were Erin and Maggie. Both were super friendly, fun and professional. Signature cocktails were great. Their cleanup was quick and left nothing for us to handle. I recommend them highly!

Just had my wedding on May 12th and it was awesome! I worked with Sadie through phone calls and emails and she is very thorough and gets to know you and your significant other and your guests so she can make a custom shopping list for you. All the details were what made this process so easy! Highly recommended! Also, Brian was our bartender for the wedding and everyone loved him and he was super cool!

Sam is amazing, it was a delight to work together. Sadie and the Drink Slingers team made things nice and easy for our developer meetup, and I'd recommend them to everyone.

These guys and gals are the best. They're professional, friendly, accommodating, and very timely in the planning process. They helped us with our wedding and it was a wonderful experience across the board. They'll come up with a custom menu, bring all the necessary supplies as needed, and help you host the perfect event. If I could write in 6 stars, I would. Don't get caught up in the cheaper options, you will not regret spending a little bit more for real professionals like those at Drink Slingers.

We hired Drink Slingers for our gala fundraiser event at the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden. The Drink Slingers crew (Brian, Sykes, and Wendy) were an absolute delight to work with. From beginning to end, the whole team was speedy, professional, and friendly. Sykes in particular was great at checking in throughout the event and at the end with how she could help us along. We struck this huge event in less than an hour and I'm deeply appreciative of the support we got from Drink Slingers. We will 100% work with you again!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Drink Slingers! They provided our bar tending service for our Austin wedding, and were such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process, from initial panning to the actual night of our wedding. Sadie was so professional and considerate throughout the planning process. Trying to plan a long-distance wedding (we live in Nashville, but were getting married in Austin) can be particularly difficult, but Sadie made it so easy! She communicated with us via email and phone throughout the entire process, and even went out of her way to try to set up some in person meetings on the very few planning trips we made to Austin. When we told her we wanted to craft a signature drink, she was authentically enthusiastic to help us do so. We told her what we wanted to name the drink (Black & Ginger) and what kind of flavor profile we wanted, and she sent us FOUR different cocktail options for us to mix up at home and taste test. All four were delicious and it was so difficult to just pick one! She sent us a detailed shopping list, which we were able to send directly to the liquor store and made purchasing alcohol and supplies a breeze. Josh and Rose, our bartenders for the evening, were awesome! They were so professional, but also so fun! Our bar was located right next to the DJ and dancing, and they were jamming with us the whole time, which definitely helped set the tone for the night! When we ran out of an ingredient for our signature drink (it was so delicious, everyone kept drinking them all night!), they were able to think on their feet and add a replacement so that they could keep 'em coming! I would highly recommend working with Drink Slingers for any event!

I LOVE Drink Slingers. They are great at what they do, quick responses, affordable, and wonderful to work with. I recommend all of my clients and friends to them if they ever need bar services.

Drink Slingers was a great company to work with! Very communicative and professional during every step of the planning process. Justin did an amazing job bartending at our wedding!! Couldn’t be happier with how it went!!!

Alex Siminski

Justin was a fantastic bartender! He really made the event so easy and carefree for us. Everyone was so complimentary on the drinks and how good they tasted. The bar set up was impeccable as well! Justin also completely cleaned everything up and put all the alcohol up. I would HIGHLY recommend. We will definitely using Drink Slingers for all of our events and will be requesting Justin.

Allison Fernandez

100% recommend Drink Slingers!!!! I worked with Sadie (during the holidays) to organize a cocktail making class for a bachelorette and it was an absolute hit! Sadie was very responsive and extremely personable throughout the entire planning process! Day of, Justin, our bartender took care of every detail, was a blast, and a great teacher! Best part - the drinks were fantastic!! I can't thank Sadie and Justin enough for making the bachelorette party so fun and unique!!

Zach Hall

Great company! Very easy to book with, and had an amazing/professional staff.

Mike Hardtmeier

We had an incredible experience with Mo and Drink Slingers over the weekend. It was such a joy working with Mo. She was on top of everything and able to assist whenever I had a question. I fully recommend and thank you again for making sure our event was a success.

Halle Foster

Awe Events ATX loved working with Drink Slingers! They were the bartenders for a beautiful wedding at La Estancia Bella. Their set up is gorgeous and, they take time to prepare great cocktails. Very professional and would recommend!

Winslow Lippe

Rose was amazing and sweet! Every guest from our wedding and something sweet to say about her and we loved it. I worked with Sadie on getting everything together and she was so helpful, patient and responsive. I don't think I would have been able to pull this off without her. We are looking forward to planning another event and using their services again!

Andrew Eiche

Having Drink Slingers serve drinks at our wedding was a great choice! The bartender (Aryn) was beyond accommodating to our requests and served up very tasty drinks. He also had a fun outfit that brought an exciting flair to the bar while still remaining “in theme” for our wedding. The staff is easy to work with and knows their stuff when it comes to serving weddings. All their drinking estimates were almost surreal in how spot-on they were. We worked with Sadie before the wedding, and she helped us select 2 signature cocktails that were huge hits with the guests. We also worked together to create a perfect custom menu tailored specifically to our event and what our guests would enjoy. We would absolute recommend hiring Drink Slingers for your next event! They helped make our special day that much more special.

Anna Lane

Drink Slingers was great! We booked them at the recommendation of our coordinator fairly last minute (a month before our wedding) because the bartenders we had booked with our caterer were no longer available. It was stressful losing our original bartenders so close to the wedding, but working with Drink Slingers made things completely manageable and better than we imagined! I spoke with Sadie throughout the process and she was super communicative, thorough, and definitely eased my anxiety about the situation! She responded quickly to my emails and paid close attention to detail. She was very friendly and helpful of any questions I had and was accommodating in whatever way she could be. It was great having professionals just show up to our wedding with all the tools and supplies needed (we only had to bring alcohol and the water/tea with 2 drink dispensers, lemon, and sugar) so the whole process was made VERY easy on our part! I didn’t personally really talk to the bartenders because guests kept bringing me drinks, but my husband did briefly and said they were very nice. We highly recommend Drink Slingers! :D Anna + Andy

Harley Whitcomb

We had a “happy hour” staffed by Sykes Marino. She did an amazing job! She was courteous, pleasant and provided great conversation. She also went above and beyond by taking the catering we ordered and setting it up for us. She did this discretely while we had a department meeting - I only noticed because I tend to pay attention to the “behind the scenes” people. I heard many of my colleagues comment on how nicely the food was presented - all thanks to Skyes. I would highly recommend Drink Slingers and ask for Skyes.

Kat Griffin

Nannette and her team at Drink Slingers are the best of the best!! They're always super responsive, professional, positive, and hardworking. Every slinger has a can do attitude and are adored by our guests of all walks of life. We have worked with DS for years and they continue to exceed our expectations at every event. We so grateful for all Drink Slingers does for our nonprofit and the Austin community!!

Ashland Viscosi

If I were to list all of the reasons why I'm giving Drink Slingers a 5-star rating, we'd be here for hours. HOURS. I partnered up with them for three happy hours (nightly for three days in a row) and they beyond bring their A-game. One night we even had them teach a cocktail class and attendees LOVED it! They make EVERYTHING easy, the bar set-ups they provide, the thoughtfulness behind a curated drink menu, and the bartenders themselves are always extremely lovely people that add to the ambiance and atmosphere of any event. They're the best bartending service, not just in Austin, but in all of Texas. They are AMAZING to work with and provide the best experience from start to finish - A+++!

I used Drink Slingers for my Wedding in February (I know...I'm late in the game with my review). But they were AMAZING!! I was in constant communication with Sadie, the owner, and she was extremely easy to get in contact with. She was very helpful with all my questions and even brought up ideas that I didn't even think of. She helped me come up with a grocery list of all the things I would need to get (since that's the service I chose) and just made it soo easy! The bartender that I requested was Justin. OMG! He was awesome! All of my guests loved him...the girls AND the guys included. He made the night fun for everyone and I'm not sure if the guests were headed back to the bar for drinks...or just for him! My friends and family still talk about how great he was. Overall, my experience with Drink Slingers was excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Alyssa Scavetta

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The folks at Drink Slingers showed up on time, were professional but friendly, made some truly great drinks. We had forgotten to purchase lime juice and instead of skipping on one of our signature drinks for the wedding, they went out and fixed the problem for us. I really can't recommend these guys enough. Additionally, in the time leading up to the wedding, they gave us a shopping list of everything we needed to buy and in what quantities, and were attentive to our needs every step of the way. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a quality bartending staff for their event!

Collette Cosby

Drink Slingers did a great job. Everything aspect of working with their team was a pleasure. They gave us a list of cocktails to choose from, provided a shopping list, and the bartender did a demo of how to make the drinks. His engaging personality kept our party-goers entertained the entire time.

David Forchione

Hired Drinks Slingers for my wife's 40th surprise party. We had a great bartender - Nicole. They offer great prices along with detailed a la carte options. Would definitely use again.

Pooja Kumar

Drink Slingers truly went above and beyond. From the partnership in assisting with the coordination of sponsors and signature drinks, to the actual execution and vibe that was created at the event. My company aims to provide quality hospitality with every event, curating the experiences of our guests, and I can say that I would blindly trust Drink Slingers to provide that. Everyone was blown away by the service and the drinks! Y'all truly understood what I was trying to create and helped manifest it all into a reality. Thank you!!

Mikey Gross

Drink Slingers is the best! Brian was incredible. All our guest kept saying what a joy he was. All we had to do was buy the alcohol and they did the rest. It was so affordable and my husband James and I loved the service. We got married on 10.01.2017 at The Sanctuary. It was perfect and the staff at Drink Slingers were so incredibly helpful. Thanks y’all! Xoxoxox James & Mikey.

Veronica Emens

Great service from start to finish! The whole process was super easy. The bartenders were friendly and kept our guests smiling.
