What I Do:
  I am a licensed, certified, experienced bartender well versed in more than 300 different cocktail recipes. For your upcoming party, reception or event, I will create original, tasty cocktails, generate a positive, safe, friendly, atmosphere to keep the party flowing and clean up the bar service area afterwards. All unique and special requests WILL be accommodated.
  Whether your event is wedding reception formal, deck party casual, birthday party wild, costume mandatory or a charity function, I am prepared with all of the necessary skills and tools for each unique occasion.
 Visit my bartenders referrals page for reviews from past clients.

What to Expect:
  I will co-ordinate with you beforehand regarding the types and amounts of alcohol you will need to make certain all your guests are accommodated. We will also discuss possible drink ideas that may enhance the theme or flavor of your event. I can offer up options for themes if you're looking for some unique cocktail ideas for your party. We will cover all items in detail to make certain nothing gets overlooked in planning your gathering.

Benefits of having Mallard bartend your party:
  I am capable of efficiently, single-handedly, serving crowds of up to 120 guests and can provide additional, equally skilled bartenders to meet the needs of larger parties. My credentials include bartending at locations such as the Gig Harbor Yacht Club, LeMay Museum in Fife, Chapel on Echo Bay in Gig Harbor and the Pioneer Park Pavilion in Puyallup.I possess an extensive customer service background and unique resourcefulness. If you run short on certain ingredients during the party, I can usually compensate using an alternative and still keep your guests happily inebriated. I will get out from behind the bar to take drink orders and serve them at tables if the nature of the party dictates it. I sometimes pack along a few special mixers to indulge you and your guests in some unique cocktails that would not otherwise be on the regular menu. I can even don the dreaded bandoleros of shot glasses (see: Bartender Photos for more pictures). Private functions are all I do.

What it Costs:
I serve in the greater Tacoma/ Gig Harbor/ Pierce County areas.
My rate is $20.00 per hour + tips. 4-hour minimum.
Any pre-party coordinating is complimentary.
