about us
It’s our mission to bring our experience, expertise, professionalism, attention to detail, the ability to read a room, include everyone, and ultimately… we bring the FUN!
At Mixologists Bartending, we feel this down to our core.
We value the OCCASION behind your event. Your event is not just another event - it really matters to us and it should be as unique and memorable as possible.
A corporate event isn’t just a work function - it’s about your unique brand, your unique staff, your unique clients.
A wedding isn’t just a wedding - it’s the ultimate celebration of love and hope - celebrating two unique individuals and bringing two unique families together.
Bachelor and bachelorette parties are not only that - they are a celebration of transitions, ending an era while entering a new phase in life
Birthday parties and anniversaries are really about celebrating all the years past and the memories had - while looking forward to a bright future with new joyful memories to come.
There are SO many fine details that can elevate any event.
You have a boring bartender with no energy, charm, or class
Non-alcoholic beverages get overlooked and the nondrinkers are stuck drinking juice with the children (they deserve festive drinks too!)
Uncle Bob gets overserved (!)
Important equipment and logistics get forgotten.
Your bar gets set- up in a bad location.
You have long lines and people get bored waiting for a drink.
You run out of alcohol (because you had no idea how much to buy).
You have too much spillage from guests pouring their own drinks.
You overpay for liquor because too many bottles get opened.
Chances like:
Your most meaningful celebrations in life are too important to leave to chance.
Celebrations for
all walks of life

Mixologists were professional and independent bartenders. When I booked them for my wedding reception, Dustin asked if we could meet the week prior to go over some of the details of what we wanted on our special night. This meeting was very helpful, to say the least! He covered everything - things I hadn’t even thought of!!!! He took notes to ensure he covered everything and could fulfill our wishes. I will be sure to hire mixologists bartending for any events in the future and couldn’t give them a higher recommendation. I was a little skeptical about booking online but so grateful to find such courteous professionals! Thanks so much!

I believe in celebrations.
How they bring us together. How they break down our guards. How they leave a legacy.
I believe in beautiful little details and big wide smiles.
I love them all, but weddings are always my favorite.
There’s so much love in the air. Everyone’s happy, families are merging. The music is better than a club, and the bartender is everybody's second favourite person... after the bride.
And yes- I’ve been known to hit the dance floor with some grandmas 😉
I'm Dustin, head Mixologist,
and I'm so glad you're here.
Oh hey!

I can not say ENOUGH wonderful things about Dustin! It has been just over one week since our wedding and our guests still can not stop talking about him. BEST BARTENDER EVER!!!
From making sure wine was topped up and served throughout speeches around the tables to be such a hit and dancing with my grandma, which is now the highlight of her life. You are such a gem and we are so thankful to have had you be a part of our day!

If you're looking for a bartender who is an absolute blast, then Dustin is your guy. All our guests loved his personality and were talking about him the following day and how fun he was. He even came out on the dance floor and busted a move or two, including showing us (the bride and groom) how to line dance! He was such a great addition to our day! Thanks Dustin!!

Dustin was hired for our wedding and we couldn't imagine having a better person for it. Before the wedding, he provided excellent guidance on the amount of liquor to provide and set up the bar area beautifully. He was very professional and made sure our guests were treated well. We invited him to not be shy if there was an opportunity to join on the dance floor and he did not disappoint! He engaged in a dance-off with our daughter and even invited our grandma onto the floor for a slow dance which she said made her night! We would have zero hesitation recommending Dustin to bartend your event.

When I moved to the Okanagan, I worked at beautiful Gatzke Orchards running their weddings... and I fell in love.
The joy and love felt at weddings are unlike anything else in life.
At the end of the summer… I knew what I had to do.
I wanted to continue working weddings and events, so I decided to go all in - I founded Mixologists Bartending in 2017.
Since then, we’ve grown and have served at so many unique and special events. From weddings to corporate and charity events, to birthday parties and anniversaries.
I cherish every single one of them.
And I hope to be invited to yours next!
I’m from Barrie, Ontario and I started traveling at the young age of 17. I studied psychology at university and when I moved home for the summer, I got my first bartending job at 19.
Needless to say, I fell in love.
To further hone my skills, I attended the Toronto Institute of Bartending for training and certification.
Since then, I’ve lived in Jasper, all around Australia, and I’m now settled in beautiful Kelowna, B.C.
I’ve worked and managed in many bars and restaurants, gaining tons of experience along the way. I’ve been bartending now for 10 years, and I still truly love what I do.
