Private Bartending Experience
An experience by: Dillon Thomas
About this experience
Step into a private bartender experience designed to make your event feel seamless, elevated, and fully taken care of. I arrive with all the tools needed to set the bar, craft a curated cocktail menu, and create a smooth flow from the first pour to the final drink of the night.
You choose the direction—classic cocktails, seasonal signatures, themed drinks, or a mix—and I’ll build the bar around it. Throughout the event, I keep the atmosphere upbeat and effortless: engaging with guests, moving efficiently through orders, maintaining a clean setup, and adjusting the pace as the night unfolds.
Whether it’s a birthday, corporate gathering, intimate dinner, or full celebration, this experience brings polished hospitality straight into your home so you can relax and enjoy your own party.

About your Hexpert
I’ve spent the past 7 years bartending across some incredible places—from the Four Seasons and the Hilton in Santa Barbara to Tommy Bahama in Jupiter and a handful of other high-volume, high-hospitality bars.
Those experiences taught me how to deliver great service in any environment, whether it’s an intimate gathering or a packed celebration. I love creating cocktails that fit the vibe of the event, dialing in the details, and making sure every guest feels taken care of.
If you’re looking for a bartender who’s professional, prepared, and easy to work with, I’d be glad to help make your event seamless and memorable.
