    Three Bartending Events Halloween Weekend

    Shaken Not Stirred was contracted to bartend at three consecutive events last Halloween weekend.

  • Torrance and Coachella Wedding Parties

    Torrance and Coachella Wedding Parties

    Last weekend Shaken Not Stirred was on hand to bartend to great wedding parties, in Torrance and Coachella. The Torrance party was held at a zumba studio on Carson Street, but it converted to an event venue quite nicely, and I even had a bar to work behind. The Coachella wedding party was held at…

    Culver City Wedding and Tarzana Baptism Celebration

    Shaken Not Stirred stayed close to home this weekend and worked a wedding party in Culver City Saturday night, and then on Sunday bartended a baptism party in Tarzana.  Both events went very well, and that was due to planning and preparation.  Once again, I was reminded that all kinds of problems can be avoided…

  • Diamond Bar Center Wedding II

    Diamond Bar Center Wedding II

    Yesterday Shaken Not Stirred returned to the Diamond Bar Center for the largest wedding they have done to date. We had three bartenders and three bars to service 350 people.

  • Encinitas Pool Party

    Encinitas Pool Party

    Saturday, Shaken Not Stirred traveled to Encinitas in San Diego County to bartend a pool party.  I don’t normally try to book much work in San Diego because it can be difficult getting in and out of there. Last week I had business in San Marcos, so it made sense to take this pool party…

The first wedding was Saturday night all the way in Coachella, 145 miles from Los Angeles. Then I returned to the San Fernando Valley to bartend a Sunday backyard wedding in…
