Pour perfection: tips and tricks for selecting your ideal event bartender
Understand your requirements
When searching for your ideal bartender, you need to know what type of event you are planning, the number of guests who are likely to attend, and the level of service you desire. Having the answers will help guide you in selecting the right bartender for the job.
Ask the right questions
Asking the right questions when searching for your bartender is key to making an informed decision. Be sure to ask them about their experience and what signature cocktail they would make for your event. This also helps you gauge their creativity and adaptability to suit your event’s unique requirements.
Read customer reviews
Once you’ve decided on a select few bartenders, it’s important to read online reviews and testimonials. This firsthand feedback provides valuable insights into a bartender’s professionalism, reliability, and adaptability. All things that are crucial for a seamless event.
Mixing magic: strategies for a seamless event with your bartender

Provide the essentials
Equip your bartender with the tools they need to successfully run the bar. Discuss the event details with them to ensure they have access to quality ingredients, and verify the availability of supplies. A well-prepared bartender is key to a smooth and efficient service.
Clear communication
Communication is paramount to a successful event. Clearly convey your expectations, timelines, and whether there are any guests with special requirements. This ensures the bartender is well-prepared and can tailor their service to meet the needs and requirements of you and your guests.
Relax and enjoy
Now your event is underway, let go of the stress and trust your bartender to handle the beverages. Sure, you can check in with them throughout the evening, but your main focus should be enjoying the company of your guests, knowing the bar is in capable hands.
Raise a glass to a successful event
From stress-free hosting to tailor-made experiences, enlisting the help of a professional bartender through Poptop provides numerous benefits for a successful event. By discerning your needs, posing relevant questions, and maintaining clear communication, you can guarantee a seamless service that leaves a lasting impression.

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.
