What NYC hosts are saying
We hired a bartender for our wedding reception and it was such a relief. They kept the bar moving, mixed great cocktails, and made sure no one was waiting long. It made the whole night feel effortless.
Samantha R. Brooklyn
Booking a bartender through Updone for our birthday party was the best call we made. They had a full menu of custom cocktails ready and never let the line build up. Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience.
Kevin T. Manhattan
For our corporate event, our bartender brought their own tools, ran a clean setup, and kept drinks flowing all night. Already planning to hire through Updone again.
