"I had the most wonderful time at Sarah and Patrick wedding, on September 2oth. Dan was the bartender there. He was amazing, happy, smiling all the time. Service was amazing, same as the cocktails I was drinking. If or ever get married or a party and need bartenders Dan team would be my 1st choice .... you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed!!!!!"

Dan and his team helped us bring our dream Wedding Luau alive. From customizing cocktails to helping us make a shopping list. Our wedding event was a great success with the help, fun and enthusiasm the team brings. Thank you so much and we highly recommend them for your event.

We worked with Pro Bartenders for our mom's Celebration of Life. He was punctual and reliable, checking in with us in the days leading up to the event. He created our drink menu and helped us put together our shopping list, right down to the glasswear. His staff created a signature cocktail in our mom's namesake, which was delicious and a meaningful way to toast a lovely lady. Dan and his staff were friendly, professional and hardworking, arriving early to set-up. He made a stressful time, much easier. I can't sing higher praise for Pro Bartenders! Thanks Dan!

We recently had the pleasure of catering a wedding alongside Pro Bartenders with Dan and his crew, and we can confidently say Dan went above and beyond not only for the clients, but for us as well, checking in on guests and collecting plates and cutlery for us without even a shred of hesitation. Pro Bartenders and Dan integrated with our catering to become one unit for the night with zero planning and we hadn't even met before - that's dedication to the trade and to the service we've rarely encountered. Will recommend forever, and we look forward to working together in the future!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Dan at a wedding where I was the coordinator, and it was such a fantastic experience! Dan is not only incredibly resourceful and organized, but he also cares deeply about making sure every detail of the event goes smoothly. Plus, he’s such a joy to work with—so positive and easygoing! I can’t wait to work with you and your amazing team again!

Dan was amazing to work with from the beginning. He was so easy to work with, listening to our wants and needs and helping curate our bar. Dan and Connie were the best bartenders we could have asked for to be at our wedding. They were both so fun, kind and talented. They made our special day extra special! We would recommend them for any event. Thank you Dan!

Dan... as a pro bartender you really standout from the pack. It was a joy working with you at the special fundraising event that was held last Tuesday at my art gallery here in Ottawa. What stood out the most for me was how fast and smoothly you set yourself up, your courtesy and engagement with the attendees and especially, when the event was over, the area you occupied was spotless. Once again, thank you and I will definitely recommend your services for future events at the "Trebor Art Gallery".

Pro Bartenders was an excellent choice to hire as bartenders for our marriage party. Dan responded right away and gave me all the information I needed in a call the following day. Very clear, unlike other Ottawa options. I wanted to make sure the bartender we hired was gay friendly, and they delivered! We gave Dan the main signature cocktail and he gave suggestions for the rest of the menu, and a list of what else we needed. Our bartender, Joel, was excellent and professional. He checked in with me regularly during the evening which was great. I'm really happy having chosen them for our marriage party, and would recommend them for sure!

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding job you did at our recent event. Your level of professionalism and attention to detail truly set the tone for a successful and enjoyable gathering. From the moment you arrived ahead of schedule, it was clear that you were committed to making our event special. Your punctuality, combined with the seamless organization of the bar setup, made a significant positive impact on the overall flow of the evening. I especially appreciated the courtesy and friendliness exhibited by your team as well as your bilingual skills, which was a fantastic touch. Merci.

Dan and the Pro Bartenders team did a great job at our wedding. Dan walked us through the process from the earliest stages, helping us plan our bar, and telling us exactly what to buy. He was always available to answer questions, even when busy with other events. On the day of, he and his team were punctual, polite, and professional. Thanks, Dan!

Working with Dan of ProBartenders was absolute pleasure. Knowledgeable and easy going, we couldn’t have asked for more in our bartender for our wedding. A good bartender can make all of the difference, both during the wedding and in the planning of the wedding. We could not be happier with our choice to work with Dan and highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, organized, and thoughtful bartending.

I hired Dan and his bartenders for my husbands 50th birthday party. I had one bartender and one server. What an AMAZING experience! From Dan who was so attentive and helpful to the two ladies that went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. I would without a doubt hire them again! Thanks again for everything!

Dan was an absolute pleasure! I hired him to bartend for my friends Showerette (bachelorette/ shower). He went above and beyond by calling me several times throughout the weeks leading up to the event to make sure all my questions were answered and that I had everything I needed. He even helped me find the entertainment for the evening via his LGBTQ+ group. He asked me if I was looking for entertainment, and basically read my mind when he suggested a drag queen. The members of the group suggested a local queen, and she was an absolute HIT at the party.

I recently attended an event that hired Dan Maskell’s company, Pro Bartenders. I must say I was impressed! I ended up arriving quite early to the event and was impressed to see that the bar was already set up, spotless and ready to go. The other thing that impressed me was Dan’s professionalism in dealing with a guest who had reached the safe limit of alcohol consumption. I can safely say that my colleagues and I had a wonderful evening thanks to Dan Maskell and Pro Bartenders. I would recommend Pro Bartenders for any event with much enthusiasm and without hesitation!

We hired Dan for our wedding reception and we had a great experience! He suggested cocktails and put together an inventory list to make our life easier.

Dan was our bartender for my wedding and he did an absolutely amazing job. I can’t recommend him enough. He went above and beyond from the moment we reached out to him. He was always available to help us figure out what we needed to get for drinks, mixes, garnishes. He was setup at the bar long before it opened and delivered excellent service throughout the night.

We hired Dan for our wedding reception and he was absolutely fantastic. Dan goes above and beyond and works hard to let you enjoy your event and be present with your guests. Many of our guests commented on how professional and helpful he was - not only was he serving at the bar but he also was available to help with many other tasks that came up on the day of our event. I would highly recommend his amazing services and team!

I stumbled upon probartenders while looking for a bartender for my brother's 30th and what an experience I had with Dan. He suggested cocktails, shots, looked for ways for me to save and get everything I wanted for a reasonable price. He checked in multiple times to ensure everything was on track. Can you believe he arrived earlier the day of the party? By the time the guests started coming in, he was up and running. Everybody loved him and loved the experience! My brother was soo happy! I would never throw another party without Dan! Thank you Dan for making this a night to remember! Looking forward to having you again! You can never go wrong if you have him at your event!
