“If I could do it all again, I would choose him another hundred times.”

If you are looking for a bar service for your wedding, you can count on Filippo without hesitation.

From our very first contact, Filippo was extremely professional, helpful and attentive to every detail. He listened to my needs and turned them into impeccable service, organising two separate bar stations, one for the pre-dinner drinks and one for the party after dinner, and managing everything with great expertise and flexibility. The quality of the cocktails was simply extraordinary. So many guests complimented me on what they drank throughout the day and evening, praising not only how good the drinks were, but also the care with which they were prepared. The service was fast, precise and consistently impeccable, even at the busiest times. What really sets Filippo apart is the passion he puts into his work. He does not just serve excellent cocktails: he creates an experience, making a real contribution to the atmosphere of the party. Communication was always clear, quick and effective, making me feel reassured and supported throughout the planning process. If I could do it all again, I would choose him another hundred times. A true professional who can exceed every expectation. Thank you from the heart for making my wedding even more special and unforgettable.

“Utter professionalism in everything, and always with a smile!”

An outstanding Open Bar!

We did not hesitate for a moment when choosing for our wedding... An Open Bar with Filippo! From the first time we got in touch, his professionalism, kindness and friendliness shone through! At our first meeting, he explained everything in detail, tried to understand what would suit us best and offered tailored proposals. I have to say he immediately understood what we were looking for and guided us towards the best choice for us. While we put together the drinks list for our wedding open bar, he also explained the origins and quality of all the products he would use. On the wedding day... what can I say? Utter professionalism in everything, and always with a smile! Our guests were very happy with the service and the quality of the products. We could not have chosen better... I recommend him without hesitation!

“even a simple gin and tonic is something else entirely thanks to the care Filippo puts into quality.”

A stellar open bar

Filippo took care of the open bar at our wedding. He was always incredibly helpful, right from the planning stage, working with us to choose drinks based on our preferences to create something out of the ordinary. Boulevardier, whiskey sour... even a simple gin and tonic is something else entirely thanks to the care Filippo puts into quality. As well as the quality of the drinks, the presentation was exceptional, as was his flexibility with the service when dinner ran a little longer than expected. Overall, everything was truly fantastic!

Always smiling, attentive and impeccable in his service, Filippo helped make our day even more special.

“expertly prepared drinks that our guests still remember with great pleasure today.”

An unforgettable open bar!

Filippo and his team have always been a guarantee of experience, professionalism and skill. It was the very first thing I chose for the wedding, to make sure they would be available. An extensive drinks list of outstanding quality, with expertly prepared drinks that our guests still remember with great pleasure today. They take care of everything from A to Z: proposing the drinks list, ingredients and equipment, the bar, setup and logistics with the other suppliers. An open bar is always much appreciated at weddings, and they made ours absolutely unforgettable!

“made the bar one of the highlights of the entire day.”

Professionalism, style and passion

We could not have wished for a better bartender for our September wedding. Professional, elegant and always smiling, he created a unique atmosphere from the very first toast. The cocktails were simply exceptional: carefully crafted down to the smallest detail, balanced and enjoyed by all our guests, who still compliment us on them today. His ability to understand the guests’ tastes, the speed of the service and his constant attentiveness made the bar one of the highlights of the entire day. A true professional who combines quality, passion and style. Thank you from the heart for helping make our day unforgettable.

“Filippo doesn’t just serve drinks. He helps create memories, makes people feel special, and puts his heart into what he does.”

More Than Just an Amazing Bartender — Someone Who Truly Cares!

There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who go above and beyond to make sure your special day is everything you dreamed of. Filippo is definitely one of those extraordinary people! Just a couple of weeks before our wedding, I unexpectedly faced a health issue that meant I couldn’t drink any alcohol for medical reasons. As you can imagine, not being able to enjoy a proper toast or cocktails at my own wedding was a little disappointing. But this is where Filippo truly showed us what kind of person he is. Even though we hadn’t met yet, and he was a vendor hired through our wedding planners, Filippo took it upon himself to find alcohol-free alternatives so I could still enjoy the celebration to the fullest. With very little time to prepare, he went out of his way to research options, look for suitable products, and make sure I wouldn’t feel left out of the experience. What touched me the most wasn’t just the effort he put into finding those alternatives, but how genuinely concerned he was about making sure I had an amazing time at my own wedding. He didn’t have to do any of that. He could have simply said that alcohol-free options weren’t available, especially on such short notice. But instead, he treated my situation with so much care, kindness, and understanding, without even knowing me personally. That meant more to me than he probably realizes. And then came the wedding day itself! Everything was absolutely fantastic! The bar setup was beautiful, the drinks were amazing, and the service was outstanding from beginning to end. Filippo and his team made sure our guests were having a wonderful time, always delivering excellent service with professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to make everyone happy. And I have to mention something about Filippo himself! At first glance, he might look like a bit of a tough guy, but don’t let that fool you! Behind that exterior is an incredibly sweet, kindhearted, thoughtful, and genuinely lovely person. Someone who clearly takes tremendous pride in his work and, more importantly, truly cares about the people he’s serving. Filippo doesn’t just serve drinks. He helps create memories, makes people feel special, and puts his heart into what he does. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did for us, especially for the kindness and consideration he showed me during a situation that could have made part of our celebration feel a little less special. If you’re looking for a bartender or open-bar service for your wedding or any other celebration, we cannot recommend Filippo highly enough! You’re not just hiring someone to serve amazing drinks; you’re hiring someone who genuinely wants your event to be unforgettable. Thank you, Filippo, from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️ You helped make our wedding even more special, and we will always remember your kindness, your incredible service, and the care you showed us. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Jose & Adolfo

“They were professional, communicative and flexible when needed.”

We worked with Filippo and his team for our wedding outside of Siena, Italy in September. We had such a great experience working with Filippo for several months prior to our wedding. On the day, his team was wonderful and made sure our guests were very taken care of. They were professional, communicative and flexible when needed. We are so grateful for their services!

“He anticipates needs, handles unexpected challenges, and resolves every situation without passing on any stress.”

OUTSTANDING!!

Speaking both as a customer and as a destination wedding planner Filippo offers impeccable service, exceptional-quality products, and truly enviable attention to detail. Working with him is not only a personal pleasure; it also brings the peace of mind of knowing you can count on a reliable professional. He anticipates needs, handles unexpected challenges, and resolves every situation without passing on any stress. Even under pressure and during the busiest moments, he manages to keep everything flowing naturally. Passionate, engaging, and obsessed with perfection: he is the professional partner every wedding planner would love to have by her side! When Filippo and his staff (PERSONALLY TRAINED BY HIM) are part of the team, I already know the party is going to be amazing!!
