It has taken me 3 years to refer with confidence. No vendor is added to my list unless I’ve directly worked with them or they have been highly recommended from a respected associate. They are on my list because of their experience, quality, customer service, and the impact they have had on their customers events. I’m proud to work with such great professionals
They are in NO particular order.

Testimonials
Spunky Spirits has been a godsend! I have been planning events for ULI Tampa Bay for almost 4 years and only wish that I had found her sooner. I no longer have to shop, load, unload, set-up, etc. for our socials. I make one phone call and know that everything will be taken care of. Lori is a dream to work with and I can't thank her enough for her help!

Lori,
Just want you to know how much we appreciate you and your Spunky Spirits. You have helped us with several functions at our home and I couldn't be more pleased. You arrived early, did what was needed and then some. All of our guests highly complimented you and I was thrilled with how smoothly our parties worked. You are always the first person that I call when we plan a party. If you weren't so good at what you do you would also be one of the first on the invitation list. You have become a dear friend to us.

Lori is such a pleasure to work with! We have hired her for a couple parties we've had and she is so much fun! She is awesome at what she does!! She gives you ideas for your "specialty" drinks, she gives you a shopping list so you know exactly what you will need. She takes the stress & worry out of your parties! Lori always has a smile on her face and is ready for the party! She is a blast to have around!! Any party we will have, we will make sure Spunky Spirits is a part of!! Thank you for all you do Lori!!

I want to thank you for all you emails and consultation concerning the bar you did for us at the Lion's Eye Institute. You made our daughter's wedding reception wonderful. My friends and neighbors are continually commenting on the fantastic reception. With your guidance we had enough alcohol to meet the needs of 160 guests. Guests expressed to me how pleasant you and your husband were and that you did a great job. I might add that you were dressed professionally and presented yourself very well. The bar was first class as was the service. I thank you for enduring the activities that surrounded the ice sculpture. I was not aware that it had been moved to the ground until after the reception. I thank you for cleaning up so well and for repacking all the alcohol so that we could easily remove it from the ballroom. I must say that I did enjoy the specialty drinks, and your suggestions about the brand of alcohol for the toast was great. Everyone enjoyed the toast. Again I thank you for all your help and good service. You were a good find and it was totally by accident that someone mentioned your name and Craig's List. I wish you much success and happiness in your life.
