“For the last two years we have hired Stirred Knot Shaken to bring our annual community pool party to life.  The event has become one that we look forward to every year because of the great job that Stirred Knot Shaken does in creating a truly welcoming & relaxed party vibe.  We get to be guests and enjoy ourselves since Stirred Knot Shaken has already thought of and handled all the details setting up an awesome bar with something for everyone, great music, and awesome food! We are so looking forward to gathering around the pool bar again thanks to the excellent service and ambience that Stirred Knot Shaken always provides! “

Hi Arne, David, Jason, and I wanted to thank you and Peter for the wonderful service you provide at Dales 75th Birthday party. Everything was fantastic, you both were so friendly and outgoing. We really appreciate you guys doubling as photographers throughout the night, you might want to add that as a new service offered. Dad loved his Stirred Knot Shaken Cherry Manhattan, you made him for dessert. Hope to use you again in a couple of years for Mom’s b’day.

“For the last three years we have hired Arne to bartend our annual Christmas party. He consistently shows early to get things ready, in a festive mood excited to put on a show for our guests. He always provides an amazing custom-tailored drink menu inspired by the Holidays. This past year the couple we hired to help serve and clean up were a last-minute cancellation, Arne was quick to step-up and take care of everything allowing us the time to spend with our dear friends-Thanks for everything Arne, best of luck with Stirred Knot Shaken!”

“Arne thank you so much for making our Mardi Gras party such a success. As a couple that doesn't drink often, it was important to work with a professional that could provide an exciting drink list with a wonderful Mardi Gras theme. Thank you for keeping it simple, on budget and providing a detailed shopping list. All our guest complimented on how great the drinks were. P.S. the shirt was fantastic!”

- Stacey & Chris K. 

"Arne has been our go-to bartender for years at holiday parties and get-togethers. Not only is he prompt and professional, but he also does an excellent job engaging with our guests. Being able to rely on him to ensure everyone is well taken care of—both with drinks and great energy—makes our lives so much easier and allows us to focus on what matters most: spending time with our guests.

He even goes the extra mile by creating mocktails for the younger crowd at our Halloween parties, which is always a big hit! His creativity, consistency, and genuine kindness truly help make our events a success.

We highly recommend Arne and Stirred Knot Shaken to everyone!"

“We are so grateful we selected Stirred Knot Shaken to provide custom craft cocktails at Amanda’s engagement party a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for showing up early Arne, and for being so helpful, friendly, and professional during set-up and throughout the entire evening. We had so many compliments, especially the French 75’s and Cherry Cosmo’s. We particularly loved the story behind the name! Should we need future bartending services I will look no further than SNS”.
