Excellent vendors!
We host large events at our school at least twice a year, and we’ve had great experiences with Neil and the Emerald City Cocktails team. Neil is very responsive and easy to work with leading up to and on the event day. His staff always arrives on time, acts professional, and takes great care of our guests. Their full bars always look amazing in our event spaces. Our fall event this year went great and we look forward to working with ECC again in the future!

Excellent service
Everything was perfect. Amanda did an amazing job keeping the line moving. She mixed our signature drink perfectly and had the nicest personality. She was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Their set up and clean up was perfect and their use of compostable materials is in line with our love of the environment. We would definitely hire them again.

A Gem of a Find: Emerald City Cocktails is Awesome!
When it comes to vendors, it’s rare to find one that not only meets but exceeds every expectation and Emerald City Cocktails did in every way! I recently had the pleasure of hiring Neil and Emerald City Cocktails for a special event, and I cannot sing their praises loud enough! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of outstanding, professional and incredibly organized. I can’t thank Neil enough for their outstanding service. They truly deserve every one of these five stars, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an exceptional bartending service.

Highly Recommend Emerald City Cocktails
We have nothing but positive and wonderful praises for Mr. Neil and Emerald City Cocktails!

I started planning our anniversary party in January of 2023. Upon contacting Neil to obtain a quote for his bar services at our anniversary party, to the day of our event, Neil has been superb in communication and follow through on all of his promises and obligations to make our party fabulous!!!

One of the things that impressed my husband and I the most about Neil and Emerald City Cocktails is how very accommodating Neil was with our requests, our concerns, or questions we had, or he helped us with any obstacles that we encountered with the venue as we planned our party. My husband and I felt relieved that we had come across someone like Neil who is knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, upfront and above all, has experience in this field.

The cherry on top in hiring Neil was an incident that occurred during our anniversary party. A guest who happens to be a successful and popular wedding planner in the area said to me, “I love how Neil is very attentive to your guests and I appreciate how he worked the room, filling up the wine glasses etc. You hired a very good bar service and bartender for you party. How did you happen to come across him and this company. Did you attend a friend’s wedding and that’s how you came across him?” It was quite a compliment for us for the guest (a wedding planning) to share her positive feedback about Neil and Emerald City Cocktails with us.

Another magnificent thought that I wanted to share about hiring Neil and Emerald City Cocktails is having him there really elevated the ambiance of the room and his presence gave our party an element of elegance and sophistication! More importantly, Neil was prompt and on time for the party. In addition, his bar services were very affordable and reasonable!

The only negative and really it’s not a negative, it’s just a sign that he and Emerald City Cocktails are in high demand! When we have our next party, we will need to book with Neil at least six or seven months in advance. On rare occasions he has cancellations and he may be available, but spring and summer months are his “wedding season months.” I believe it too, because the caterers and bar service companies that I called in Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater in the beginning planning stages of my party were completely booked as of 2022 and apologizes for not being able to cater my party. Needless to say, I felt very fortunate when Neil stated he was available for the day of our party. On to more positive thoughts...

We found Neil to be professional, easy to work with, friendly and outgoing. Our guests loved him! My husband and I made the decision that Neil and Emerald City Cocktails will be our “go to” bar service going forward!! Yes, we highly recommend Neil and Emerald City Cocktails!! We could not be more pleased!!!!

THANK YOU NEIL FOR THE GREAT JOB!!! Best wishes to you!

The Best Bartender
I had Neil tend a wine/sparkling water bar for a group of about 15 sophisticated arts leaders and he did an outstanding job. Arrived early; set up quick; paid just the right amount of attention to the guests during the event wandering through and refilling glasses as needed. Several organizations asked for his card so they could hire him for their events. I had to leave to take the guest both inert I dinner but a friend checked in Neil’s clean up and it was impeccable. I would hire Neil and Emerald City again without question. Grab him for your event.

Wonderful Bartending Team for Our Event
We hired Emerald City Cocktails for our pre-wedding Mehndi-Sangeet-Meet & Greet night and they were wonderful! The team was punctual, consistent, and friendly. Our start-to-finish process with them was a breeze.

We love Emerald City Cocktails!
This is the second year we have hired Emerald City Cocktails to pour wine for us at our annual fundraising event! Neil and Nicole showed up ready to work, take ownership of the bar area and just start making things happen with fabulous wine-side manner! They clean up beautifully after all is said and done.

We will continue to hire them as they are a HUGE asset to the success of our event!

Would highly recommend!!
We had such a great experience with Emerald City Cocktails! Neil made everything so easy, even with planning an out of state event. He was helpful, even helping out the other vendors set up. I would recommend Emerald City Cocktails to everyone. Thank you so much for helping us make our Quinceañera the best time!!
— Aracely C
Amazing!
Our planned bartender for our wedding fell through with 3 weeks notice and we found Emerald City Cocktails. We felt so bad that we gave Neil and team such short notice, but he was able to put everything together and it was wonderful! They were able to work with some quirks of our wedding and removed some stress off of us by being willing to supply day of items (ice). Our bartender, Emily, was incredibly nice and we received multiple compliments from our families throughout the night for finding a great bartender. Thank you so much Neil and Emily!
