Reviews for Private Bartender & Full Bar Setup for Your Event (BYOB)

Chris was amazing! He did an excellent job teaching the mixing class and keeping the party vibes going. I would definitely recommend them for any party!

Chris did a great job at our private event at our house and guests had all positive comments about his great drinks and being personable.

Working with Chris was such a fun experience and our guests loved it! Very creative with different offerings and flexible to what we wanted and he made sure everything ran smoothly and professionally.

He was great!

Hasn’t done the event yet, it is in July but Chris has been great to talk with responsive and had good ideas for the event.

Chris was great, on time, professional. Great drinks! A great experience.

Superb. Did our department party of about 50 people. Former beverage director at Michelin started restaurant in SF. No ego, high level of experience and execution. Will steer you right based on your size of party and needs.

Christopher did a fantastic job for our outdoor wedding welcome party! He had everything needed and our guests loved him. Wedding planning is stressful but he made that aspect of our welcome party stress free!

Such a wonderful experience working with Make It a Double!! Can't to have him at our next event! Thank you so much!!

Chris was great, the cocktail/mocktail he made was delicious and a hit with my guests. Having Chris bartend my event really classed it up and I am grateful to him for making it a success!

Chris is amazing! He hosted my 40th birthday with a great range of cocktails and mocktails. He was such a sweetheart that guests enjoyed chatting with him too. My husband and I highly recommend him and wish him the very best with his future endeavors in bartending and cocktail mixology! He's a good human (and a skilled bartender). :)

David was amazing! He helped make our party a lot of fun and I got to enjoy the whole thing because I wasn’t tending a bar. I would absolutely hire him again.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by the outstanding bartender, Christopher Rice this last New Year's Eve. Not only were the drinks expertly crafted and perfectly balanced, but the service was top-notch from start to finish. He managed the bustling crowd with ease, keeping the energy festive while ensuring every guest felt valued and attended to. What truly set him apart is his genuine personality—warm, engaging, and professional. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, creating a memorable experience for everyone at the bar. If you're looking for someone who brings both skill and charisma to their craft, Christopher Rice is it. Truly a highlight of our NYE celebration—cheers to starting the year off right with such exceptional service!

We hired Chris to bartend for our wedding! He did such a great job taking care of us and all of our guests!! His communication leading up to our event was great. He checked in and made sure all our questions were answered and we were setup for success. We really appreciate all his hard work and helping make our day great!!

We had a great experience using Make it a Double! They provided two bartenders to our holiday party, and it went seamlessly. They came up with specialty cocktails/mocktails for us, and the event was a hit!

Wow, just wow! Chris was amazing to work with and received so many compliments from his tasty mocktails! Would recommend him hands down! You will be happy you did! Cheers

Make it a Double was a great addition to our backyard birthday party. Christopher was very responsive when we asked for a bartending service last minute. He made it happen quickly and he had a number of premade delicious mixes that we served at the party. All of our guests loved this service & Christopher. Would definitely book again for a future event. Thanks Christopher!

We hired Chris for our Friday night welcome drinks for our wedding, and he did not disappoint! Christopher was amazing, so affordable, and had GREAT drinks. We wanted someone who could make both mocktails and cocktails, and that's his specialty. So many fun beverages, he answered all of our questions, and was right on time. Would 100% hire him for any future events.

Make It a Double has been an absolute joy to work with for all my events! Their professionalism is unmatched, every detail is handled with care, precision, and an incredible eye for creativity. They bring such a crafty and fun energy to every project, making the planning process just as enjoyable as the event itself. No matter the occasion, they always go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, and they truly bring my vision to life. I can’t recommend them enough, reliable, talented, and simply a pleasure to work with every single time!

Make it a Double offered great bartending services for our wedding. Their rates were very reasonable and Mason was a great! Would definitely recommend.

We had an incredible experience with Make It A Double! Chris was awesome for planning everything and Mason was fantastic as our bartender for our event. Everyone loved all the drinks and it added a really special element to our party!

Best mocktails I’ve ever had! Hosted a mocktail making class for a girls night and it was so fun! All the ingredients were included and guests went home with pre made drinks! Will definitely use Cool As A Cucumber again!

If your opinion on mocktails has not been a positive one, then you have to try the ones that Christopher Rice makes...they are AMAZING!! His commitment to clean & fresh ingredients makes his mocktails stand out above and beyond others. Having him at your event will keep your guests happy and talking about it!

Make It a Double exhibits all the traits of a professional and reliable company. From clear communication, promptness on promises, and a focus on customer service, Make It a Double delivers on all fronts. Highly recomended for any of your bartending needs corporote or otherwise.

What an amazing team. Chris was so ready to work with and schedule with, then Corey, our bartender was fabulous. Recommend for any event!

Used Chris for a large work event and he was timely, professional, and all around a great addition to the event! He was kind to all the guests and made sure that everyone (specifically all the additional workers) were also taken care of. I will be using Make it a Double again in the future.

I met the crew of Make it a Double/Cool as a Cucumber at the farmers market in Cherry Creek last summer, and asked them to be at my business ribbon-cutting to provide delicious refreshments. It was fall time and we had two Mocktails - a Cherry Sage and an Orange something something. Everyone was impressed with the flavor, the presentation, and the aroma of the drinks. It made it easy to have a business event with Mocktails that looked delicious and gourmet … like we were out there having a cocktail party at my office. Exactly the vibe I wanted.

Chris and Mason helped make my wedding day special. Chris would always answer any questions I had in a very timely manner. Planning was very simple and they make awesome drinks. I would recommend them for any event!

Chris was amazing!! Super helpful and professional. He bartended a corporate event for us and did phenomenal. Can’t wait to work with him again!!

Chris served cocktails for an employee retirement party at a private home. He was easy to work with on the planning end (i.e. menu and what he'd provide vs. what we needed to shop for). And his setup at the event was professional. The guests were very pleased with the selection/quality of drinks and the service .

Chris did a great job preparing the bar and all the supplies for my derby party. The bartenders Mason and Conner were very fun and friendly. They cleaned up before leaving and made it easy!

Had the best time working with Chris on bartending our wedding event! He was extremely helpful with putting together the menu, completely responsive to all of our inquiries, & was the first to respond to us on the Thumbtack site. He is courteous, respectful, fun, and eager to assist us with anything we needed assistance with. He is a great bartender, consultant, and his demeanor just puts you at ease that you don't have to worry at all about the bartending at your event. He was able to bartend an event all by himself with a group that had 50+ people. One thing I forgot to bring to the event was ginger beer for one of our signature cocktails, but that didn't deter Chris. He was right there ready to substitute Sprite for the ginger beer. We highly recommend him and his business for any bartending or consultation. He is fantastic and we are so happy that we were able to find him on Thumbtack!

We hired Christopher for our after party in Denver after a last minute venue cancellation. We didn't know what to expect as we're located in Texas. Christopher out did our expectations, not only was he responsive he made sure to keep us updated throughout the event to ensure we were doing good on drinks. He also curated a drink menu for our event which our guests LOVED!!! We 100 recommend Christopher and his business for your next event, he can singlehandedly manage big crowds efficiently and quickly. Our guests loved him and couldn't stop bringing up his drinks the next day! 10/10 recommend.
