Clack Bartending 

5.0

Athens, GA
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $500

We are a husband and wife owned and operated business since 2014. We have helped clients with special occasions ranging from extravagant weddings to retirement and corporate parties. Included with our services you can expect ideas for customized drink menus, guidance with flexible budgets, recommendations and attention to your details. By entrusting us with your bar services, you can relax and enjoy your big day knowing that every aspect of the beverage experience is in expert hands.

We hired Clack Bartending for our wedding. Working with Clack as a partner was a pleasant experience in general, but at times we felt that communication could have been improved. Planning and preparing with Clack's services was mostly smooth sailing, but there was some confusion that arose just prior to our wedding. We wanted to touch base with each of our vendors before our big day, but my husband was having difficulties getting in touch and getting on the same page with them. Seeing my husband getting frustrated, I decided to take the lead as the "Communication Champion". I reached out to the vendor via email and text and was able to get in contact with them without any issues. I clarified all the details with them before our wedding, ensuring that everything was perfectly arranged for our big day. A few days before our wedding, Clack informed us that Shannon would be our bartender. Shannon turned out to be a huge success! All of our guests loved her and had only the best things to say about her. In fact, no other vendor has received as many compliments from our guests as Shannon has. Initially, we thought her popularity might be due to a signature drink we served called "Welcome to Atlanta," but then we continued to hear more and more stories about her friendliness, skills, and professionalism. She also worked extremely well under pressure and was very efficient. Shannon not only made great drinks, but she also left a lasting impression on our family and friends. More than two people even mentioned adopting her into the family! We would definitely work with Clack again just to have Shannon as our bartender. Her level of professionalism and tactfulness was unmatched. If you're considering whether to hire this bartending service, we highly recommend giving them a try. As for us, Shannon was definitely worth it!

She was truly amazing, I cannot recommend her enough!! She is so bubbly and funny with a very calming energy, while still being so professional. She took every worry I had about the day and made sure they were all executed perfectly, if anything went wrong I didn’t know about it. I didn’t really think I needed a planner of any kind but I am so glad I chose her because I have no idea how I would have made it through the day without her. I will be recommending Weaver & Co to all of my engaged friends.

  • Starts at $250

We are a family-owned bakery based in Athens, GA, & serving the greater Northeast GA area. Whether you're after a classic white wedding cake or a trendy statement cake, our talented baker & decorator can create something that will awe you and your guests! Our team takes a hands-on approach with every client and will work closely with you to design a cake that matches your vision. With high-quality ingredients & time-tested recipes, your wedding cake will make an impression. We are proud to offer gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, and kosher options so that all of your guests can celebrate your wedding with a delightful treat.

I admit, I was a tad nervous at first because my wedding cake idea was unusual to say the least. I didn’t want a white cake. I wanted a cake that was decorated to look like a sunset in the Blue Ridge Mountains with fireflies and luna moths. Random & specific, but I wanted it. And boy did they deliver. Figuratively and literally. XD The cake was beautifully done. The baker even managed to find a way to make the fireflies and some of the starry sky fluoresce under blacklight and still be edible! It was amazing.

The Venue on Broad is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect spot for our wedding reception. Everything about the space is thoughtfully designed from the decked out bridal suite to the string lit patio space - it is just perfection. The best part of it might have been the staff. Summerlin and Mikayla were the absolute best to work with. They were super helpful and quick to answer all my questions leading up to our wedding day (there were a lot). And the food!! They were super accommodating to create a delicious custom menu for our wedding reception. Several people told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Our entire reception was beautiful and ran ever so smoothly thanks to them and my wedding planner, Thailer Waterworth.

Working with Brittnye & Gardenia for my NYE wedding was truly a pleasure! Brittnye had her work cut out for her because I wasn't the girl who dreamed of her wedding or planned any detail before the event! During our first meeting, Brittnye asked me what I wanted as far as florals, and all I could tell her was what I absolutely DID NOT want! Eventually, while talking about what I didn't want, we were able to come up with a long list of what I DID. After a couple hours, a vision was formed and Brittnye went to work on what would become the most gorgeous wedding florals/design that I had ever seen. From our bouquets, to the table arrangements, candles lining the aisle, altar arrangements and fresh florals on our cake, Brittnye and Gardenia NAILED IT! My bouquet was truly one of the most gorgeous florals that I've ever seen and to this day I wish I had it preserved to enjoy every day! If you're looking for a florist/event designer for your wedding, do NOT hesitate to contact Gardenia! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Brittnye & Gardenia, for making the dreams I didn't even know I had come true!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sean from North Georgia Weddings and Events was great to work with for our wedding! I had already booked a DJ, but was specifically looking for a company that would be able to provide cold spark machines for our first dance and our grand exit. I said I wanted as many as he could provide for both of those moments and he was able to use eight total machines (four on each side). The layout of them was perfect and made for some fantastic photos and videos. Sean also asked what the first dance song was ahead of time so he would know the piece of music and could then time the start of the cold spark machines with the first chorus of the song for a more dramatic effect. The crowd was shocked and amazed when they went off during our first dance and the timing was perfect! Sean was able to make the vision I dreamed about come to life and I could not be happier with how it was executed! He was easy to get in touch with and very communicative leading up to the event and the day of the event to make sure the timing for everything would work out. I would highly recommend Sean and North Georgia Weddings and Events to elevate the look of your event!!
