TESTIMONIALS

ZACH S. -

“Worked with Panther Craft Cocktails for a surprise engagement party and they were fantastic! Gavriel was prompt and professional with the communication and Gerard and Sasha were awesome bartenders. Very social, polite, and the drinks were strong! 10/10 will be using them again!”

James M. -

“Hands down the best cocktail catering service available. Gavriel came on to manage a last minute 300+ person corporate brand launch event with less than 48 hours notice after our vendor cancelled on us. We were just beyond impressed with the quality and professionalism of the service and staff. From our initial call, to discussing logistics, doing a same day in person walk through and executing a perfect service, we were given all the information and instruction we needed from start to finish. Our guests were happy and so were we. Will absolutely be hiring Panther again and highly recommend to any corporate clients looking for someone to take the lead and manage their event!”
