Getting Tipsy

For my cousin’s wedding: best sex on the beach I’ve ever had (in reality, I’ve only ever had one. not going to lie I could only down half before it was too much, but it was really good).
(They personalize drinks (name that what you want if you book them). Professional and awesome.

I experienced the pleasure of having these guys serve us drinks at my friend’s wedding at Dynasty Restaurant in San Jose.
From the very beginning, the 2 or 3 bartenders were very welcoming, friendly, and most importantly, not judgmental. They had a few specialty drinks on the menu for the evening which were all pretty good. As the night went on, we eventually just came back for shooters with past friend we haven’t seen for a while as well as new ones we made at our dinner table. Wait times were never long at all since their service was quite quick

I recommended Getting Tipsy to my coworkers for a company event. We were pleased with the service they provided. We have worked with other bar tending companies in the past, but hadn’t found one we really liked until now. They took the hassle out of event planning. We received many compliments from our guests. We plan to continue using Getting Tipsy for our future events.

Wow, these guys are amazing at what they do! I think calling them bartenders is an understatement, as they made me smile the whole night with their fun characteristics. These guys are very friendly and down to earth people!
I booked Getting Tipsy a couple weeks ago as a wedding gift for my best friend. I made sure to arrange the booking beforehand as I heard they are usually booked most of the time and require appointment at least a month in advance. The booking process went very smoothly; excellent customer service throughout. They do require a deposit to hold your booking, so make sure to place your deposit on time.
I was very pleased with their professional consultation. I met at their office for the alcohol consultation, which they provided free amenities while I waited for my appointment time. They asked if I have a budget for how much I want to spend, in my case, I do not, since I want my best friend and her guests to have the best time during the wedding, in which they sure did! However, if you have a specific budget that you would like them to work around with, please inform them and I’m sure they will do their best to accommodate it.
Overall, the guests at the wedding were extremely pleased with their drinks. I personally had a blast with my drinks; they even made special requested drinks that were off the menu, too! A couple of my friends were bartenders themselves and even they agreed that the guys at Getting Tipsy were true professionals. I will surely book Getting Tipsy again for my future wedding! :)

My wedding was about two weeks ago. I contemplated whether or not to hire Tipsy to bartend for my wedding since the tradition for many Asian wedding consisted of putting a bottle of premium liquor on the table for guests to self-​serve. Initially meeting with Tien, the owner of the company (I presume), he really sold me on the «open bar» idea. I had to contemplate hard because I knew my parents would be unhappy with this idea and also I was worried the wedding might get a little out of hand considering all would be at the bar and not at their tables. My last concern is the topic I am going to get into next: The alcohol.
I couldn’t emphasize enough with Tien that both sides of the family are Vietnamese, meaning they drink a whole lot of alcohol. I also mentioned that my friends drink a lot too. Instead of taking my concern into consideration, Tien kept running his mouth about how his company has hosted many weddings and this is never the issue. So him being the professional and me the client, I trusted him. He asked what the total guest count would be and I include all adult guests count because they would be the ones drinking and not the kids. He then forwarded me the spreadsheet to get alcohol. In which briefly looking over it, I told my husband this is not enough. When my husband did the alcohol run, he purchased a few extra bottles and threw that in just in case we ran short. Even with the extra bottles we were a bit concerned.
So fast forward, the big day is here. We haven’t even started the program yet and guess what? Bar notifies us that they are OUT OF ALCOHOL. Am I surprised? No. Was I stressed out? Heck Yes. Did I have a plan B? Sure. I had asked one of the Groomsmen to purchase more liquor in which he bought an additional 20 bottles of hard liquor and even with that we ran out of liquor. I tried to keep a happy face and not be too concerned about the bar running out of liquor until the wedding was done and over with.
Fast forward some more and here I am talking to Tien via text messages in which he said he has to communicate with his bartenders before talking to me about what happened. He promised to call back on Wednesday and no phone call from Tien. I then proceeded to reach out to him in which he phoned back with the first sentence coming out of his mouth «Why are you doing this to me?» First off, I have done nothing to you or your company Mr. Tien. Matter of fact, I paid for a service that is supposed to be properly rendered. $ 747 is a lot of money and I felt between all of my vendors, they are the WORST. As I am stating all of my concerns he tries to interrupt me and said «do you want to hear what my bartenders said about your wedding guests?» Wow, totally unprofessional for one and not necessary. Instead of trying to find a solution to remedied the problem he added more fire to the fuel. I was livid with Tien, as he didn’t listen to anything and also accused me that I lied about my wedding guest count. He asked me how many guest count I had total for our wedding? I automatically tallied up the adults as they aren’t allowed to serve to children and children aren’t allowed to drink! I had a total of 48 tables, 2 of which were kids only on my family’s side. And the other kids were spread throughout and sat with their parents as they were too young to be separated from their parents or didn’t know the other kids at the kid’s only table. We had a total of 400 adult guests which I accounted for alcohol. Keep in mind, my side of the family didn’t even bother to get up to get liquor because they weren’t familiar with open bar service and thought they had to pay money so they sat and drank red wine instead. My side of the family accounted for 22 tables so approximately 220 guests (200 adults). So that means, they only served to 200 guests on the other side of the restaurant. But ill give them the benefit of the doubt and say they serviced 300 guest. This was still not enough alcohol. What I am most upset about is I felt Tien totally miscalculated, didn’t take my feedback into consideration, and more over I paid a lot of money for a service that was poorly rendered. I would’ve been better off saving that $ 747 to purchase 15 bottles of hard liquor for my guests so everyone can have an equal share of alcohol and save myself and husband from the embarrassment that they caused us. Tien through in there, «it’s a good thing you ran out of alcohol, that means the guest used the open bar service and had fun.» Bull crap. It doesn’t make sense for the bar to run out of alcohol at 8pm. When the party goes until 11pm!
If you are looking for open bar service, DON’T USE TIPSY.
Unprofessional, not knowledgeable, and will ruin your wedding. THIS IS YOUR WARNING.
P. S. Tien offered $ 50 credit. I honestly don’t know for what, as I will never hire them or recommend them to any of my friends or family. EVER.
If I could give negative stars, I would.

My wife hired them to provide Open Bar service at our wedding. To my dismay, they weren’t up to par with both of our standards. My wife did the research and provided me with a spreadsheet from Tipsy for me to purchase alcohol. I barely glanced over the spreadsheet and knew right away this is not enough alcohol to host our 400 guest wedding. Not to my surprised, my groomsmen alerted us that the bar is out of liquor completely and this was before the program even started. We of course had a plan B to purchase more liquor in which my groomsmen had to miss an hour and a half of the wedding just to do so. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend Tipsy as a trusted professional service provider. These guys still has a lot to learn and need to understand the complexity of each client’s nature in order to provide the best service that makes the Bride and Groom happy. In this case, I was not a satisfied client and my wife is even more of a less satisfied customer. We will not be referring them to anyone. And we feel obligated to write this review so other couples will learn from our experience.
Folks, if you’re trying to run a sustainable business. Learn from this mistake. Your customer is not always right, however if they paid you for a service and you did not meet their expectations it won’t hurt to do something about it. This is called making an «exception.» In this case, you argued with my wife to get every last word in when that did no good. This isn’t very professional and on top of that you will forever live with the reputation of a terrible Open Bar Service. To me, a reputation is very critical in running a business as it could make or break you. I don’t know how many people she’s shared this experience with. But I’ll tell you this if you don’t want this to happen again with future clients, do what is best in the long run for you and your business which is making the customers happy. Without them, you wouldn’t be in business.

I hired Tipsy for a company event (new office grand opening and tour). The consultation was great. The ideas they suggested were all implemented and appreciated from serving size to what to serve. They arrived on scheduled time, served everyone with smiling faces and conducted themselves professionally while providing great interactions.
They went above and beyond during setup and clean up. They made the event go perfectly with their service and smiles
I will use this company for all future events. Thank you Tipsy

Awesome drinks and customer services!
The bartenders were absolutely well-​trained, as they can make just about any drink I requested of them, and made them fast & tasty too!
I’ve gotten the pleasure to acquaint myself with the Getting Tipsy bartenders when they bartended at my company’s events. I reached out to them to book my anniversary party and they made the process very easy and pleasant. I love the fact that they offer so many advices on how to make the best drinks menu suitable for my special event during their consultation.
I will definitely be booking them again for my future events and will refer them to all my friends!
