Today we’d like to introduce you to Janet Ford and Christina Carter.
Janet and Christina, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Well, it really started with us always putting ourselves on the list for the drinks at family functions. Our drinks would make everyone at the events feel good and always come back for more. So one day, we decided to let’s take our skills to the next level. We understand that people need convenience, affordability, and quickness and that is the main thing we pride ourselves in. We wanted to be a mobile bartending service that will take the stress of drinks off the list for the client. We only want the client to worry about the payment and alcohol(if that is needed at the event). Like any business, it is not going to come flying out the gate successful we have been on this business venture for about a year now, but we have faith in God that it will get stable. We love what we do, we love to see our clients happy and enjoying their drinks.
Has it been a smooth road?
Like that say anything that is worth having is not easy and the road we have been on has not been easy. We both have 9-5 jobs, we are wives, and one of us is a mother of 5. So trying to fit all that in a schedule, plus have time for our own business has been some setbacks. Sometimes we would have to take a moment and just think before we take the next step or event. But we work together to make sure that we both are able to maintain the business and our personal lives. One of the biggest struggles we had along the way was making sure we knew and understood the laws for the business that we are in.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
We feel the number 1 thing that sets us apart is our affordability, quality, and quantity. We do not have the customer worry about anything other than the payment and alcohol (if needed for the event). Our mobile bartending company is there to cater to every event we have a wide selection of drinks we make and they are very delicious. Both of the owners are TABC licensed. We are most proud of the way we make customers feel once that have experienced our drinks. We want people to understand that mobile bartending does not mean you have to have alcohol, we do events fun children which is 100% non-alcoholic, we can do baby showers and have specialty drinks for the mommy-to-be that is delicious and 100% nonalcoholic.

Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Yes, we feel that H-town is a great place for our business. With the city constantly growing with love, there are plenty of events arising. Which helps us because we can adapt to any event. If someone was starting up, we would say that Houston is a great place, its so much that it can be overwhelming on the networking, which we are still trying to find out ourselves. but we love this place born and raised.
