How do I become a bartender?
I'm more familiar with mobile bartending, but I agree that people skills and building a relationship with the client is the most important thing—creating a rapport, really hearing them out, and seeing what it is that they want to do for their event, considering everything, making sure that you take in all the details and then you deliver that the day of the event because they're investing in you. You don't want to just have them pay for a service and then it's mediocre. You want to make sure that it's an experience that they remember you for. Going above and beyond. It's your brand, it's your business, you want to stand out.

I believe what helps me stand out is giving exceptional service, delicious cocktails, creating themed cocktails that go with the theme of the event, and even playing with different colors, textures, different flavors… People notice the small things. Even if you have a printed bar menu that has the color of the centerpieces on it, they notice that. So, it's in the small details that you'll stand out and that's what we try to do so that people remember that. It's a sensory experience from the moment that they approach the bar and they're looking at the ice and then they see the cocktails. So, it's like first as they look, they taste, they enjoy everything about it, even the decorations of the bar. So, it's just crafting an experience that they're going to remember.
