Client Testimonials

"We have finally had time to catch our breath after the wedding! Just to say we’d love to leave you a review and will tag you in any photos when we have them as you, your team, and Southside were AMAZING 🤩!!! We had so many compliments on the wine with dinner, then everyone loved the cocktails so much, especially the Paloma 🙌🏼 i was so happy we got to do the champagne tower too ✨ I know the weather made everything challenging but you went above and beyond for us and we were so grateful 🥹 thank you!!”

“I wanted to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the service provided at the wedding. You went above and beyond, even beyond the confines of the bar area when requested… I work in hospitality and events and this style of work really does mean a lot. A great asset…”

"Jamie and the team smashed it!!!!!! We selected their Open Bar (Essentials) package for our Vow renewal in August 2023. We found their packages on their website clear and easy to address what we wanted. The package was perfect for us and our guests loved it. The staff remember the drinks our guests had and liked and they even pro-actively made sure our guests where topped up throughout. Highly recommend this amazing company. They didn't need power or fridges, they came totally prepared."
