Private Bartending · Ventura County, CA

Ventura County Bartender

From Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley to Camarillo, Oxnard and Ventura, Amber Spirits sets up a handcrafted cocktail bar wherever you're celebrating - fresh garnishes, from-scratch mixers and service that lets the host be a guest.

Ventura County Bartending

Fresh cocktails, zero bar duty

Planning a party means a hundred small decisions. The bar shouldn't be one of them. After a quick consultation we plan your cocktail menu, send a shopping list with suggested bottles and quantities for your guest count, and handle setup, service and cleanup on the day.

Every syrup and mixer is made from scratch, fruit is muddled fresh and garnishes are cut for your event - the details Amber learned in fine dining, applied to your celebration.

  • Shopping list matched to your guest count
  • Setup, service & cleanup handled
  • Optional tip jar buyout
  • Packages from $950
