What sets us apart is not just our experience, but the personal care we bring to every event. Our clients consistently tell us they appreciate our professionalism, reliability, and the friendly, personable nature of our team. We believe great service is about more than pouring drinks—it is about creating a welcoming atmosphere, solving problems before they happen, and making sure every detail runs smoothly.
Many of our clients return to us for future events and refer us to family, friends, and colleagues. That trust means everything to us. We work hard to earn it with every booking.
Whether it is a bride thanking us for making her wedding stress-free, a corporate client praising our polished presentation, or a private host grateful for a seamless celebration, their words remind us why we love what we do.
Here is what some of our amazing clients have to say about their VIP experience.
“I had the amazing pleasure of working with Dave himself throughout the entire process of trying to figure out what I needed for my wedding services. He was so immediate and detailed and knowledgeable in his responses and was SO helpful in going above and beyond his required level of service to help alleviate my stresses and ensure that I was comfortable with everything and all my picky little needs.
I was lucky enough to be one of the chosen ones where he came on site as part of the team along with Collette and the staff and when I tell you….they executed everything FLAWLESSLY. They were fast, timely, efficient, asked questions only when needed but ensured to ask all the right questions so that my vision came into real life. The staff were all innovative, efficient, professional, incredibly friendly and when I came in the next day to ensure that the space had been cleared and cleaned up, they didn’t leave a trace behind and organized everything in a way that made it so easy for me and the venue to deal with easily.
This team really does GENUINELY care about who they are working for and it feels like good friends who really want you to have the perfect day. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Dave and team, Marcel and I had the most perfect, stress free wedding and a lot of this is attributed to you all executing what I needed so flawlessly. I cannot recommend them enough and it just brings a smile to my face when I think of every interaction I have had with them both before meeting them and especially on the day of.”

“To Dave and the Entire ViP Bartending and Event Planning Team Thank you Dave and your entire team for effortless taking the reigns and planning not only one but two events for us at Banana Republic on Robson Street. You were awesome, asking the right questions to determine our needs for two special events before the busy Holiday Season. You especially went out of your way, organizing an event for over 200 in just a couple of days when a last minute cocktail party had to be put together. Again, really great job and thank you, we wouldn’t hesitate to contact you again for any and all upcoming events.”

“We used Dave and his staff for our wedding and they did an amazing job! Dave helped me arrange for a liquor license and took care of those details, made recommendations about rentals, and just generally was great to bounce ideas off during the busy planning process. We picked a beautiful but challenging location with no power or water and they all did a great job of taking care of everybody and all the small details. They were professional and polite, and very easy to work with- I would definitely recommend VIP Bartending and Event Planning to anyone planning a small or big event!”
