With a Twist Minneapolis

Highly recommend! They were easy to get in touch with and always prompt with responses. They offer different packages for every budget. Their service on day of our event was beyond comparison! Bartenders were friendly, flexible and knew how to pour a great drink! They even went above and beyond and packed all leftover alcohol and brought it down to our car at the end of the night.

First I have to say if you are looking for a venue for your wedding, find one that lets you bring your own alcohol. It will save you a ton. Secondly you should hire With a Twist to be your bartenders.
Wed had our wedding at Dellwood Barns, which allows you to bring your own alcohol but you must use a listened bartending service. We chose With a Twist because it was one of the two recommended bartending services. Compared to the other service we looked at, they were also cheaper and easier to work with.
On the back end (dealing with the corporation) was a breeze. They replied to e-​mails and phone calls in less than 24 hours usually. The price was extremely reasonable, and they were very flexible with changes. They also made sure to ask questions that I hadn’t even thought about. They asked about champagne toasts, wine pours for dinner, and other things like that. It was really great to have an easy to talk to expert about those things.
The day of with the bartenders was also really easy. We had two bartenders arrive for our event. They were very professional, arrived on time, and were dressed appropriately. They were also extremely friendly and open to whatever we wanted (signature drinks, only wine and beer at certain points, did we want special pours for the head table, etc).
The only issue we really had with them was a lack of knowledge. For example, they didn’t know what port, blue curacao, and midori were. We tried to give them drink suggestions for some of the mixers and liquor they weren’t familiar with but they wanted to know how to make them (like an appletini). We aren’t bartenders so we didn’t really know. They also weren’t super creative when it came to drinks. I get that having someone say I want a strong rum drink when there are a lot of people at the bar can be stressful, so I can’t fault them too much for that.
I also wish that I had listened to our coordinator. Our coordinator said that she would have hired three bartenders and not two, as With a Twist suggested. The bartenders weren’t able to get to the wine pours for the tables (except for ours) because they were too busy. I think an extra pair of hands would have helped a lot.
Overall though I was extremely happy with the service and would hire them again. Our guests really enjoyed the service, for the most part they kept the line moving, they poured a stiff drink, and the headquarters was easy to deal with.

Used them for a Bollywood-​themed birthday party, and they were great! Leading up to the event, they were very helpful in guiding me on how much of everything to buy (liquor, beer, and wine).
At the event, the bartenders were quick at setup and teardown and really professional and friendly. They were also really flexible at accommodating a last-​minute request to serve custom shots (which were a little bit fussy to serve — so I appreciated it!).
I was really happy with the service, and it was significantly cheaper than the caterer I was considering as an alternative. Being able to buy your own liquor and have them serve it is THE BEST. I’ve since recommended them to friends who are hosting large parties or weddings.

We needed licensed servers at our wedding reception site in Hastings and With a Twist was beyond fantastic! They offer two options, of either providing licensed bartenders and non-​alcoholic items, napkins, etc, or a package that’s basically just the bartender. We went with the «just the barman» option, which was about $ 350, and then we added a second barman for $ 25/​hr. We couldn’t be happier.
We were able to save a huge amount on the liquor bill (for 60 people for beer we spent $ 130 on high quality nice beers and about $ 550 on 6 cases of award winning wine and champagne)! We couldn’t have chosen or even afforded the kind of beer and wine selection we wanted with a traditional company that provides the alcohol. It also allowed us to be creative with the drinks menu, so since we weren’t allowed to have hard liquor (according to the reception site rules), we had mixed drinks with champagne, like «belini’s,» and the bartenders were happy to mix anything we requested.
The service was wonderful! Both bartenders were very friendly and helpful throughout the evening. They were polite to all of the guests. We had an extra bartender who walked around from table to table with wine refills. It looked super classy and expensive but in fact was really affordable. We’d really recommend them!!! Five stars all around!

Very happy with this service. We used them for our wedding out at Gibbs Farm because we had to have someone licensed. It was super easy to book and the bartender was professional and good-​natured serving wine and beer to all of our guests. We ended up saving a bunch of money since we had a liquor store deliver the wine and beer the day before instead of having to go through them. Highly recommend.
