Excellent bar service and set up

I engaged these folks to do the bar tending at my wife’s surprise 70th birthday party and they were outstanding. They arrived early, the set-up was professional and they were fun, courteous and hard working. They bussed tables and were able to make any cocktail that anyone wanted. It was an outside bar and right at 100 degrees, but they maintained a professional and fun attitude. We did manage to set them up in the shade.

I cannot say enough good things about these folks. I had a lot of positive comments from my guests about the crew. We had a large gathering of nearly 80 folks.

Dagar's is amazing!

We just used Dagar's for our wedding on 3/27/21, and couldn't be happier with our choice! From the beginning of the process Kathryn was very easy to work with - she answered all of our questions, made adjustments as needed and was super transparent. She even made sure we had a full out tasting in the midst of Covid.

It was honestly very hard to choose which items we wanted because everything we tried was so yummy! We ended up going with the Chimichurri Chicken as our main course, and OMG it was delicious! We got so many compliments from our guests! Their staff and service was outstanding as well, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Amazing food and service!!!

Alanna and the Dagar's team were amazing! They provided catering, bar, and setup/takedown services for our wedding. They truly made our wedding possible and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Alanna was so patient and attentive during the planning process. The staff were so generous and professional, even with the unexpected rain leading up to the ceremony. Highly recommend!!!

Dagar's was one of our first caterers many years ago and we have recently started working together again. Their food is amazing and they have a much wider array of options than many other caterers. They are also reasonably priced. We definitely recommend that you include them in your short list!
