    I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing Moonlit Merlot was for our wedding! From the beginning Mary Ellen and Selena were on-top of everything. We ended up having two signature drinks, a whiskey sour and an orange creamsicle and we loved them! All of our guests loved the personal touches they made on our drinks including a W ice cube and rice paper with our names on it! Everything felt so personalized and uniquely us! Even days later we are still getting compliments on their services! To anyone considering these lovely ladies please listen when I say stop your search and book them for your wedding or event now! I promise you they will exceed your expectations!

    Selena and Mary Ellen provided bar service for my engagement party and it was an absolute hit. Everyone was raving about how amazing and fun they were. They even kept the non-alcoholic version of the drinks fun for the kids so they could have a festive drink as well. I would absolutely hire them again!!
