Looking for a special way to celebrate a family member or friend’s (or your own 💅) milestone birthday? To honor them, select a signature cocktail from Our Collection of 100+ cocktails or collab with us to design a completely original custom cocktail that emanates their vibe & favorite flavors ✨

For this milestone birthday at a beautiful Piedmont home, the son of the guest of honor selected her favorite classic cocktail The Cosmopolitan & paired it with a refreshing non-alcoholic counterpart The NOjito—a zero proof Mojito made with our fresh mint infused simple syrup—that every party guest was able to enjoy 💃🎀

To top it off, Chef Jaime Tjahaja prepared a multi-course farm-to-table menu with exciting summer flavors. My favorites were the boquerones with heirloom tomatoes & the sweet corn succotash served alongside the local king salmon 😋

A 41-onderful birthday on an Oakland rooftop, Cholita Linda + Angel Cakes, and a cocktail inspired by peach ring gummies 🍑

The guest of honor? An Oakland artist and self-described human rainbow 🌈

For this celebration, the bar was designed around the people—not a package. That meant creating an original cocktail and having an extra bartender to top off drinks + clear empty cups so guests could spend more time enjoying the party.

Because bespoke bartending isn’t just about customizing what’s in the glass…
It’s about customizing the experience too!

SO honored to curate the bar experience for this party 🥳

Really enjoyed collaborating with Prohibition Casino Parties on an end of summer company soirée complete with food trucks, table games, & refreshing cocktails.

This elevated backyard celebration was anything, but ordinary & super fun to serve at 🥳

It hasn’t been an easy journey, but it’s felt super authentic & enriching to bring together a passion of mine & skills I’ve gathered over the course of my different careers to create something that people can enjoy 🥳

MYTH: If an event bartender doesn't have a liquor license, you'll have to deal with sourcing the alcohol yourself ❌

This is one of the most common misconceptions I hear from prospective clients—it doesn't have to work that way.
For private events in California, event hosts *purchase* the alcohol directly from an alcohol retailer—but that doesn't mean you're left figuring it out on your own!

Here's what my process looks like:
🍸 I create a customized alcohol list based on your guest count, bar menu, & event duration
🍾 I include bottle sizes, brands, & quantities, so you know exactly what is being purchased
🤝 I send that list to one of my trusted local bottle shop partners, who bills you directly, & can even deliver your order to your home or event venue

The result? Less stress, less guesswork, & no wandering store aisles trying to calculate how many bottles of vodka 100 guests might drink 🥲

BONUS 💰
You purchase the alcohol directly from the source, so there's no markup from me!�
My goal is to make your bar service feel effortless—with expert guidance from planning to serving your first cocktail. I’ve got your back every step of the way❣️

📌 Save this post if you're planning an event in California AND share it with someone who thinks hiring a mobile bartender means adding one more thing to your to do list!

This information applies to private events in California. Alcohol service laws vary by state.

Last week I had the joy of serving my signature In Bloom mocktail at a gathering for BAYS (BAYS)—a community supporting young adults impacted by breast cancer 💗

Hosted at the Emeryville studio of BAYS member Sarah Eichstedt, the evening brought together connection, creativity, & a whole lot of color 🌈 Guests sipped botanical mocktails, created beaded bag charms, shared delicious snacks, & spent time together in the most colorful space I’ve had the pleasure of serving!

In Bloom featured homemade Meyer lemon syrup, orange blossom water, honey, nonalcoholic orange bitters, sparkling water, & a fresh mint bouquet garnish—a bright, floral sip that felt perfect for the occasion ✨

These are the events I love most: creating intentional, beautiful beverages that help people slow down, connect, & celebrate life’s meaningful moments.
Thank you to everyone who made this evening so special 🌸

A partnership that’s good for your event AND our Oakland community ✨

I’m so excited to officially share that Quirk Social has partnered with Howden Market in Downtown Oakland as a preferred alcohol fulfillment partner! 🥂

As a dry-hire mobile bartending service, we do not sell or provide alcohol—but we do make the process incredibly easy & more affordable for our clients.

Here’s how it works:

🍸 You choose one of our curated bar packages
📝 We prepare a personalized alcohol shopping list based on your guest count & menu
📧 We send your order directly to Howden Market
🛍️ Howden Market invoices you for the alcohol purchase
🚚 They can even deliver your alcohol directly to your event or designated location—making one less thing for you to worry about!
✨ As a Quirk Social client, you’ll also receive 10% off your Howden Market alcohol order

One of the things I value most as a small business owner is building relationships with other local businesses that care deeply about our community. Partnering with Kanitha Yaffa Matoury and the team at Howden Market means my clients get access to a thoughtfully curated selection of beer, wine, and spirits, professional delivery, & a seamless planning experience—all while supporting another incredible Oakland business 🙌

Planning your event should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why I’m always looking for ways to simplify the process, connect my clients with trusted local partners, and make hosting easier from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Kanitha for welcoming Quirk Social as a preferred partner! I can’t wait to help more clients celebrate with great cocktails, exceptional service, & the convenience of having their alcohol expertly sourced and delivered.

What’s one thing that makes you feel welcomed at an event? As a q***r-owned bartending business, it’s our priority for everyone to feel welcomed & cozy.

For our friend Rex’s birthday party, we created custom cocktails using some of their favorite flavors & incorporated their name into the cocktail names. We made a nonalcoholic version of one of the cocktails, The Rex Royale, so that everyone could partake in the fun! Our outfits & the menu design captured their vibe & style. To top it all off, their neighbor brought over kittens they were fostering for some cuddles & kisses—making it the ultimate q***r bday bash! 🥹😻
