MY STORY
HI! I am the owner and chief bartender here at Luneshine Elixirs. I will be the one working with you closely to make your day the most special of days. More than likely, I will also be with you at your event, mixing drinks, and making sure everything goes smoothly and according to plan.
Over the years, I have attended too many weddings where the hired bartenders didn't even bring wine keys, let alone know how to mix a classic old-fashioned cocktail. The bar was always an afterthought at these events, and I wanted to change that. Cocktails are the social lubricant that brings families together on these special occasions, and so the bar should be given the love and respect it deserves. With a passion for quality cocktails, I decided to create Luneshine Elixirs.
I have worked in bars for close to 12 years now, in both the UK and the USA, from the diviest of dives to the finest of craft cocktail bars, and everything in between. I love experimenting with new and fun flavors and every unique creation I concoct is always an instant hit. But there is nothing I love more than a well-made classic cocktail.
Thanks for stopping by! I can hardly wait to create your dream cocktail menu for your special day.
