Read MoreĪll of our last minute questions and possible hiccups. I will never use another catering company. I don’t know what I would have done without Peter and the entire Rent-a-bartender team, but I am eternally grateful for whatever serendipitous force lead me to this vendor.
The pricing was incredible for the standard of service provided and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. The illuminated bars were stunning and truly added to the aesthetic of an outdoor wedding under the stars. While I didn’t have eyes on the bar the entire night, I never saw so much as a line form for a open bar with over 100 guests in attendance. The bartenders were amazing and professional. The Rent-a-Bartender team was prompt and efficient in setup, breakdown and delivery. The day of the wedding proved stressful as vendors ran behind schedule, forgot items, and struggled with WiFi. I have since encouraged he practice some serious self care and leave his emails for the morning! My new BFF Peter continued his support throughout the remainder of the planning process, immediately responding to to emails well into the middle of the night. He even followed up after the wedding to ensure we were satisfied and had enjoyed our night. He was the CEO of a successful business and he took the time to reach out and offer comfort and a listening ear. What was originally a standard vendor call quickly became the vent session I didn’t know I needed. I shared some of the struggles we faced when vendors would stop responding or would respond with phrases like “Christian-based” or “traditional marriage.” He offered sympathy and listened intently as I recounted some of these emails. His approach left me completely disarmed.
“You asked if we were okay with LGBT weddings, and I was wondering if that has been an issue for you in planning?” “I wanted to ask you something about your initial inquiry” he said carefully. I assumed he had called solely to solidify a plan, but before I could go he stopped me. He took the time to explain options I hadn’t decided on and expressed understanding while working within my budget. When Rob, the owner reached out to me via phone call I was both impressed and honored. I was so impressed with his honesty as he guided me away from spending extra money on unnecessary items and services. Our exchanges were daily as I made decisions on packages and considered bar options. Not only did he proclaim love for LGBT weddings, but he disclosed that his company was owned and operated by members of of the LGBT community. When Peter contacted me the following day I felt instant relief. When I contacted Rent-a-bartender I had begrudgingly decided to include the fact that the services would be for a same sex wedding, hoping to avoid any further let downs. I couldn’t help but feel there was some underlying cause and effect but the desire to confirm this was quickly overshadowed by the panic of being without vendor so close to my wedding day.
I cannot say definitively what caused the abrupt end to our exchanges, but when I reviewed my last email I immediately recognized that it included the first identification of my sexuality.
