Why Choose Bender Mixology for Your Event?

My Story

My path to mixology wasn’t traditional — and that’s exactly what defines it.
I’ve always had eclectic tastes, a unique eye for detail, and an endless curiosity for how flavors, textures, and techniques can evolve. What began in small-town bars grew into a relentless pursuit of knowledge and refinement — studying, experimenting, and blending creativity with balance and structure.

That dedication shaped Bender Mixology into what it is today: a balance of art and intention, where every cocktail and mocktail reflects both passion and precision.

Thank you, Kelsie! 100% recommend!

Recently, I had the great joy of working with Kelsie from Bender Mixology Services! As the pastor at a church, I was hoping to have several "Bible-themed" cocktails and mocktails for a special reception. Kelsie not only met my expectations: she far exceeded them!

From the moment we connected, Kelsie's creativity and enthusiasm shone through. Kelsie took the time to really understand the essence of our event, sharing her fun and collaborative spirit as we imagined every drink reflecting the themes of the event. Kelsie's knowledge of mixology is truly a gift, and her ability to craft unique, flavorful beverages left such a great impression on our guests!

Kelsie worked with a keen attention to detail, bringing a sense of artistry to her work, and ensuring every drink was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Additionally, her friendly and warm personality meant so much to me, and it was amazing to see all of the smiles from our guests as they enjoyed their drinks!

Kelsie's passion as a mixologist is evident in every aspect of her work. I highly recommend her services for any event. Thank you, Kelsie, for your wonderful work and for making our event a resounding success. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

We hired Bender Mixology for a large corporate holiday party with 70 guests, and she exceeded every expectation! From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless and stress-free.

She created a custom cocktail menu, complete with beautifully designed signage that made it easy for everyone to choose their drinks.

During the event, she managed the crowd effortlessly, keeping up with the demand while maintaining a cheerful and professional demeanor. Watching her craft cocktails was a highlight for our guests-her skills are truly impressive!

From start to finish, it was a 5-star experience, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Bender Mixology for any event!
