Carolyn danielsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so glad to have chosen Craftily for our recent party. All through the planning Brad was really helpful. The set up was prompt and efficient, and most importantly the two ladies that ran it through the evening (Kelly & Lynne) were just lovely. We would book them again and definitely recommend. Anthony LoftusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really cannot say how incredible craftily was for our wedding. Brad and his team took so much of the stress out of organising drinks on the wedding day. They were so professional, and you could tell you were in a really safe pair of hands. We’d like to give a special mention to Kelly who was there for our day, who went completely above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. The dry hire bar worked perfect for us, and meant that things felt really hand curated and personal, whilst knowing you had professionals on board to handle everything on the big day. If you are on the fence about getting a bar, take this as your sign. Thank you so much Craftily! Y SmartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing bar service for the Friday and Saturday night of our wedding weekend in Norfolk. The drinks went down so well and the staff were so kind and helpful, even going out their way to give my SIL's family a lift back to the hotel to save them walking with kids. Everything ran so smoothly, nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciate all the work you put in to make our day amazing. Thank you so much! Ruth WisemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad ran a bar for us in our garden at our wedding anniversary celebration. From the moment we contacted him he was accommodating and flexible with everything we asked. He turned up on time and once we'd shown him where the bar was to go, he just got on with it...seamlessly! He even coped with our manic eight month old puppy! Our guests really enjoyed chatting to him and, of course, they loved the fantastic cocktails he made. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Daniel BrowneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Brad and his team at our wedding and could not recommend them enough. After speaking to other local bars who did not respond, we came across Brad who offered support and his expertise to deliver an amazing service for our wedding. Brad bought a trusted pilsner to our wedding which was lovely and went down a treat (no hangover the next day was a massive plus). Brad came the night before to setup and collected his stock a few days later, this left us not worrying about him turning up late or getting in the way. His bar staff he got in were lovely and added an extra flare to the day, remembering our guests and engaging with them. Beth WoodsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Brad and the Craftily team for our May 2026 wedding. They stepped in fairly last minute, due to a change in circumstances from our prior bar company. Brad was brilliant, easy to contact and accommodating of all of our wishes. We personalised the drinks behind the bar to suit what we wanted, choosing three cocktails for the night as well. I had bought shot glasses to match our wedding theme, which the team were happy to use. They also supported with serving prosecco (that we had already bought) to our guests, on arrival. Throughout the evening the team were friendly and engaging with all our guests. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend! Claire DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craftily provided the bar for our wedding party. On the build up Brad's communication was amazing nothing was to much trouble. Dealt with our last minute decisions on beer with no issues. On the night his whole team were amazing, sourced great beer that tasted great. Highly recommend! Olivia Bray-SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would 1000% recommend Craftily. They did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding. Incredibly friendly staff and a brilliant range of drinks. A big thanks to Brad and the team Jack SampsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve just recently had the pleasure of having Craftily’s services at a friends wedding. Combining professionalism, superior customer service and a plethora of delicious drinks at affordable prices, I cannot fathom to you how much I recommend this amazing company. No matter what event you may have coming up, if a bar/drinks service is what you require, please do not look any further. Craftily provide a service like to other. Thanks again Craftily, perfection! Lewis McKennyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Brad and Lauren ever so much for your service, and patience throughout our day, you made it so incredibly special. Everyone was blown away by your cocktails, and it was such a huge pleasure to have you both there. Long day with huge demand that comes with its own challenges, but you both absolutely smashed it from start to finish. Cannot thank you enough. RECOMMEND!!
