Casa Cocktails

Darren from Casa Cocktails was amazing! The drinks at our wedding were absolutely delicious and he was such a blast to have there. He made the whole planning process so easy, which we really appreciated. Our guests loved him and we did too. Highly recommend!

Casa Cocktails did an amazing job for our wedding. We got many compliments on the signature drinks and it was amazing that they let us offer such a wide variety for them! They kept up with our large crew (who knows how to party). Definitely recommend this company for your gathering!

Highly recommend! They did a great job and we had a great time with them as our bartender for our wedding!

I would proceed with caution. We hired them for a nonprofit gala, communication was awful; the venue require them to send their license in advance and on the day of the event they still hadn’t done so, I called/texted/emailed and still haven’t had a response. We were contracted for services from 6-10, they left the event at 9. When we told the coordinator that they were leaving early they called us liars. We were told we needed 2 bartenders, so we paid for 2, and only had 1 at the event. The credit card reader was broken, they didn’t bring cash to break change (knowing it was a cash bar). They only brought 2 6-packs of water for 300 people, the water warmer was broken, they forgot to bring cups to the event. The “day of” coordinator arrived to the event at 6. . .then left to buy alcohol which was ridiculous because Darren told me the day of coordinator needs to be prepared well in advance of the event. I hate to write a bad review about a local business but I’ve tried calling several times and they’ve hung up on us.

Casa Cocktails went absolutely above and beyond for our late September wedding at Hyde Park Lodge in Santa Fe, and Darren and his team were such a pleasure to work with.
We had a tasting with Darren a few months ahead of time and he was so flexible and kind. We were aiming for two signature drinks (plus beer and wine) and were completely open to any and all recommendations. We gave him a pretty massive list of various flavors and such that we like and a request for one of the drinks to be a margarita of some sort. From that chaos, he crafted many delicious options for us to test out and was incredibly knowledgable on all aspects of the drinks and what guests enjoy most. It was tough to narrow down, but we settled on a blackberry margarita, a rosemary & lavender spritz, and a classic old fashioned. He was also very open to serving mocktails, both as modifications for our first two drinks as well as encouraging for our guests to ask him to whip up a bartender's choice creation. It was immediately apparent that Darren had the perfect energy and professionalism for hosting a super fun event.
We forgot to really mention the fact that we would have a shotski, thinking it wouldn’t get any use since our guests were in the 30s-70s range and the majority are not heavy drinkers. A friend arrived with the other half of the shotski pair and they turned out to be a huge hit. We wound up running out of tequila and, completely unbeknownst to me, Darren’s barback ran all the way down to Santa Fe (15+ minute drive) to buy more Hornitos and bring it back to keep the party going. When I learned of that later I was absolutely floored and so, so appreciative.
I can’t say enough good things (and wish I had more photos to share!) about our experience with Casa Cocktails. It was also particularly special to get to support a small local business from my hometown of Albuquerque, and I’d recommend them to anyone!

We loved working with Casa Cocktails for our daughter’s wedding. They were prompt, self-sufficient, and fun. I would highly recommend!

We hired Casa Cocktails for our 9/14/24 wedding. They were professional both in the consolidation and at the event. The bartenders were efficient such that there was never a long line. We had two signatures cocktails, a mocktail, beer and wine. I had the mocktail (spicy paloma) and it was very good. Overall, I would work with them again for another event and would recommend them.

We hired casa cocktails for our wedding and they were professional, friendly, and highly competent. Darren setup a tasting for us so we could try everything before we added it to our menu and the day of drinks were just as good. We would definitely recommend casa cocktails for any event.

Amazing service👌🏼 Darren and his team were very helpful in getting us ready for our big day!!! Highly recommend!!

We hired Casa Cocktails for our farewell and son’s graduation party. What a great experience! Darren is professional, organized and thorough at the up front planning. Ryan was our bartender on the event side. Ryan is attentive, thoughtful, makes incredible drinks and also well organized. Casa creates a drink menu based on your preferences and writes a shopping list for host convenience. They also offer a shopping concierge option if you prefer. Casa took the stress out of hosting. Our guests loved the bar concept, Ryan’s personality and the drinks. Highly recommend. Thank you, Casa!

Darren did a phenomenal job. Our meetings to select beverages went super well, he was very professional and had great ideas on how to make the most of different ingredients. Everyone at the wedding was extremely pleased with his service and enjoyed their experience at the bar throughout the night. Casa Cocktails will be our go-to for any events in or around Santa Fe. I could not recommend them more highly.

Great pre-event interaction. They were prompt and easy to work with. Their bar setup is fun, and the bartender for our event was super friendly. Looking forward to working together again.

Called and no answer. What's going on??

Working with Darren and everyone at Casa Cocktails was a 100% pleasant and professional experience. Communication was amazing and it was so helpful to talk to them and hear about what they could do to individualize their plans to best fit our wedding. The bartenders were also lovely and our guests had no complaints about their service. We are so happy we went with Casa Cocktails!

Casa Cocktails was a pleasure to work with! Arranging the bar service for our son’s wedding from 2,000 miles away was a breeze by working with Darren and Ryan. Their process is efficient and their personal approach and communication with us gave us 100% confidence in their services. Darren and his co-bartender the evening of the event, were so lovely to all our guests and made the most delicious drinks. Do yourself a favor and contract with Casa Cocktails for your next event!
