“Jon (Dr Sunshine) leveled up our annual backyard Halloween party with some excellent seasonal cocktails and exceptional bar service. We’ll have him back next year and can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to take their own event to the next level. Totally worth the very reasonable investment. (We’ve also done the private classes and recommend those too!)”
