Mint & Mirth was absolutely awesome! My husband and I decided on two signature cocktails and then provided the wine and beer for M&M to pour. Every step of the way Joni was super responsive and communicative. Our wedding day bartenders were super friendly and our guests loved them! Thanks Joni and team for being part of our "dream team!"

Mint & Mirth and Joni Whitworth were an absolute delight! Joni generously donated her time to the Women's Foundation of Oregon to create 3 custom cocktails for a summer Board get-together. Joni worked with us to discuss the venue, the group, and the time of year to craft cocktails that were a complete hit, and her mixology service at the event was warm, friendly, and professional. Plus, she uses primarily locally distilled base liquors! I would recommend Mint & Mirth (and Joni) to anyone.

Mint & Mirth were a pleasure to work with for our company celebration! Up until the event they were quick to respond with any questions and had some great suggestions for drinks that would make our party stand out. On the day of the event they arrived in plenty of time to set up...and it was an awesome set-up! I loved how organized and professional they were. They printed up some cool menus, were dressed in a fun way, and their drinks were amazing! I had so many compliments on the cocktails! Thanks so much for helping to make our celebration a success! We couldn't have done it without you Joni!

Mint and Mirth provided specialty cocktails and bar service at our 12/03/16 wedding at Union/Pine in SE Portland. They have worked at the space before so when they got there and during the event and after they were amazing pros! Working with Joni via email before the event was great. I am a bit picky and tend to change my mind a ton and she was super patient and made suggestions to help narrow down our choices. She worked really hard to make our drinks special but work within our budget as well. Janelle was our main bartender and she was great! All the guests loved her and her other bartender. We chose winter insprired moscow mules and old-fashioneds. THEY WERE INCREDIBLE! Everyone raved about the drinks and
our guests made sure they drank them all! Jenelle and team were so accommodating and sweet! She and I and my coordinator found ourselves in the prep kitchen and I asked them to have a cupcake with me and we did a cupcake cheers to the night :) She was so great and their whole vibe was perfect for our space. At the end of the night before my husband and I left, Jenelle gave me a bottle of Limoncello...I had wanted a limonchello cocktail but we decided with the size of our wedding, 2 options were best...so they gifted us a bottle at the end. How kind and thoughtful is that?! Cannot reccomend Mint and Mirth more, worth every bit that we paid and would only use them in the future for upcoming events. Thank you ladies so much for making our day so special :)

Oh where to start? Honestly Mint and Mirth are the best!, We had an event on the 30 dec 2016 and Mint and Mirth killed it. They showed up as scheduled and had everything setup in no time. The drinks were flowing and were very delicious. Even at the end of the night we had some left over drinks and they pass on details on where we could rent a tap and where to return the keg, which made our new years even better. The most outstanding thing i would love to point out was that I was based in Australia and was organizing the event the whole time via email with Mint and Mirth. They were super quick in responding and the documents they provided (contract, licences, & liability) were top notch. Would highly recommend them!

I rarely if ever give full 5.0 reviews, but Mint and Mirth truly rate it. I have utilized their services for my parties and events for over 4 years now, and they have never disappointed me. Always on time, always quick and easy with drink and theme suggestions, and most importantly they have always been big hits with the guests. A great local business with a true customer service orientation. Hire them, you will not be disappointed.

I work for a women's retail company and am in charge of organizing in store events and marketing. When planning for a big blogger event this holiday season I came across Mint & Mirth - and I'm so happy I did! Not only were they exceptionally responsive (I used live chat and Joni, who was in Rome at the time, messaged me back in the middle of the night their time), they were able to work with our budget and time frame. When it came to the day of the event their staff showed up on time and ready to set-up. I seriously have never had so many compliments on the drinks we served as I had from these - people loved their hot toddies! All in all, I can't wait to use these ladies again! Everything from communication, product, and aesthetic was on point and so great. Seriously cannot give them enough stars and I look forward to working with them in the future!

Joni and Jenelle of Mint & Mirth are two of the most delightful beings on this planet & they infuse their work with humor, care, love, and awesome talent. They are exceptional and not only do I recommend them, I don't think I could recommend anybody else in good conscience.

Joni and Janelle are wonderful! My husband and I planned our Portland wedding exclusively on the east coast, and so heavily relied on reviews and vendor responsiveness. Their reputation is unparalleled by both their clients and other vendors who have worked with them for a reason, and from now personal experience I can say they deserve all the accolades. Joni was the sweetest in helping create a menu and coordinate with the caterers and wedding planner. I had some difficult medical testing, and during one of our calls she told me her family dealt with the same issue, and said I could call anytime if I ever needed a friend or advice. I could tell she genuinely meant it. Thank you both so much for such wonderful help these past 10 months, and a day we will never forget!

Mint and mirth was the absolute best choice for bar tending at our wedding. Not only were they very reasonably priced, but it was also some of the best service I have ever experienced.

They were so kind to all of my wedding guests, and always made sure everyone was taken care of.

I know I will recommend them to everyone for any sort of event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
