We are a family run company that has a truly fantastic life because we never really feel like we're working :). Our goal is to create a "WOW FACTOR" at your bar or party and we seem to make friends with everyone we deal with.If you've ever called or e-mailed us in the office you've probably talked with Karen Young. She's our General Manager and my Mom.

I'm Scott, the only son but mom got lucky when I started the company because I pretty much adopted a bunch of little brothers & sisters who wanted to learn to be better bartenders. Everyone calls her Mom and she instilled in all of us to; always strive to be the best and to go the exta mile to help everyone around us. Bartenders should be more than just servers & order takers, we should be all around, good natured entertainers.

We have a really great team of people who are truly passionate about teaching & performing. Matt, DJ, Roland, Parkinson, Clark & Ivan also are important members of the team.

Thank you also to previous instructors...Ian, BJ, Marcin, Mark, Grant, Brad, Dallyce and even D.Beat.
