Just some of the good stuff people have said about us...

Hi Ivan,

I just want to say a huuuuge thankyou to you and your team. I knew I was hiring professional bartenders but I didn’t know I would be getting people that would go above and beyond all expectations. Duane was so helpful and such a dream to work with, your bar staff were extremely proactive and were always happy to do whatever I asked of them.

The event yesterday went off extremely well, we had an extremely happy client and I could have been a lot more stressed out than I was but I didn’t have to worry about your staff once. I can’t stress enough how fantastic each and every single one of them were.

Thanks again, if you send through an invoice I will process it on Monday (I have another event until 2am tonight so ideally I won’t be in the office tomorrow J). I will definitely be in touch again should we need your assistance in the future.

Hope your other event went well yesterday, have a great day,

Chloe

"Ivan and his team at Bar Associated Resources took on the challenge of running not one, but three bar areas at the recent international group fitness event for Les Mills, catering to over a thousand people in a short space of time. The event required a high level of hospitality expertise, and exceptionally skilled staff, something which Bar Associated Resources deliver every time.

Ivan and his team, were 100% focused at all times and assisted in the planning process, including layout, setup, licensing, suppliers etc right through to execution of the event and all without a hitch. The teams knowledge and experience is second to none and their willingness to go beyond the call of duty did not go unnoticed. We look forward to the next event with Ivan and his team.

“"Thank you to Ivan and his team for an excellent job at the NZ Wine Cellars mid year cocktail party. Ivan was extremely professional and had everything running smoothly so myself and guests could relax and enjoy the night. Their efficient and friendly manner means I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them or using their services again.

” Sally Newton NZ Wine cellars 'Casino Night'

"In anything from throwing cocktail parties at people houses, through to product launches and high end corporate functions, Ivan and his team are always punctual, reliable and passionate. In general we find promotional agencies very rarely share our passion for the industry or offer service levels we expect. With the BAR team we have no such issues, and we always get positive feedback in regards to anything they are involved in. I would not hesitate to recommend Ivan and the team to anyone who is looking to ensure their function goes off without out a hitch."

"Ivan did a great job on our wedding, fantastic staff (including the great Andy from Rakinos), thorough preparation and all round professionalism. I've known Ivan for several years now and would trust him with my life. (My wife would like to remind you that our wedding was more important than my life so it all makes sense.)"

Brooke Howard-Smith, Wedding Feb ‘09

"Last year we had a large nationwide function for our top customers. We had several areas of entertainment running throughout the evening, and the cocktail bar was a hit!

From start to finish, Ivan and his team were mature professionals who took total ownership on the night, making every effort to ensure the evening was a success. His team arrived promptly, and worked very hard throughout the evening.

Dealing with Ivan and his team proved to be a breath of fresh air, they were so organised that we were able to direct our attention to other areas throughout the evening. Our customers loved the drinks & the flair bartending. We would not hesitate to recommend Ivan and his team - and we will use them again should the opportunity arise."
