| - I went through Shake It Up Bartending for my wedding on Sept. 15th 2014. The bartender, John, arrived on time and proceeded to insist all alcohol be moved to the bar area from the kitchen refrigerator on the opposite side of the room. Once this was done he had control over 36 bottles of wine, 18 bottles of champagne, 5 cases of beer and 8+ bottles of hard liquor. During the wedding, several family members and guests received poor service and a bad attitude from the bartender. We had less than 50 guests in attendance, and the bartender claimed he had to keep track of everyone's consumption as he was responsible for each person. He cut off one of my uncle's despite his sober state - some people have higher tolerance than others - and yet proceeded to get my groom so drunk he was vomiting in the backseat of the Just Married car almost an hour prior to when he was supposed to have last call. By the end of the night I and my husband left for our honeymoon and a few family members and bridal party members stayed behind to help clean up the venue and retrieve the remaining alcohol. Over 20+ bottles of wine and several bottles of hard liquor were unreturned to my aunt, whom received only 6 bottles of champagne back from the bartender. The owners of the venue verified seeing John box up the bar and leave - which I'm sure they assumed was just what he brought. I was concerned when I heard back from so many family members and close friends that they were mistreated and that by the end of the evening many were not only sober but disrespected. I checked with the other vendors and no one has any recollection of what might have happened to all the unaccounted for alcohol. As the bartender made it clear that he was in charge of the liquor - the only one with a professional license to serve by the end of the night - I feel it was his responsibility to account for the alcohol, or at least know where it was handed off to. When I called Eric to inform him of what happened, he did not seem to believe that his bartender would take the alcohol or that it was feasible that he could have taken two cases of wine and removed them to another location prior to returning the remaining mixers to the company - because no one in history has ever stolen something before. I felt that my concerns were brushed off and due to how long John has been with the company it seems unlikely he will receive "more training on how to attend his customers" or that any repercussions will occur. I recommend to anyone who has booked them that you inventory any alcohol you provide and have at least one sober person monitor where and when your liquor is served. I am not one to review so harshly, however, given the circumstances I felt this a necessity.
