Stephanie, the fearless and passionate owner and founder of Professional Partiers, is a force to be reckoned with in the mobile bartending industry. With a vibrant personality and a penchant for unforgettable experiences, she's all about bringing people together to forge deep connections and make lasting memories, all with a drink in hand.

Stephanie lives by a simple yet powerful mantra: "work hard, party harder." Her journey into the world of bartending began in early 2011, at the age of 19, when fate threw her behind the bar at one of the busiest sports bars in DFW. Referred to as a “deer in headlights” that first day, she quickly embraced the chaos and fell head over heels for the fast-paced energy behind the bar. The thrill of mixing drinks and reveling in the company of bar-goers was a calling she couldn't resist.

As the years went by, Stephanie's reputation grew, and soon patrons were begging her to cater their special events. From weddings to holiday soirées to poker nights, she became the go-to person for a good time. Balancing her college studies at UNT with endless shifts at the bar and private gigs on weekends, Stephanie mastered the art of multitasking (with a few detours to her favorite watering holes and spontaneous airport escapades, to balance it out of course).

When Stephanie isn't busy hustling, she enjoys family time with her husband, Matt, and dog, Whiskey. Matt and Steph met when fate brought them together at, where else, the bar. From day one, they enjoyed exploring new places and forming connections with the people they met along the way. Trying new drinks, meeting new people, and finding new bars became some of their favorite adventures together. Never drawn to traditional, Matt and Steph ran off secretly to elope in Hawaii in 2019, spending the day after saying “I do” driving down the road to Hana, trying new foods, climbing through caves, running along the beach, and jumping off cliffs. Four years of adventures later, they've mastered the art of juggling both life and business.

As Professional Partiers continues growing, Stephanie envisions a harmonious blend of work and play, both within the company, and the personal lives of the team that builds it.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading our story! We are thrilled to connect with you and embark on a wild party adventure together. Let's make memories that will leave everyone buzzing long after the last drink is served!


Cheers,

Steph

After years of hustling and seizing opportunities, Stephanie found herself at a crossroads. In 2013, a promising opportunity to manage a startup in the construction industry knocked on her door, and Stephanie grabbed it with both hands. For five years, she honed her skills, building processes, and orchestrating seamless operations for the growing company. Yet, deep down, the dream of building something truly her own never left her.

In 2018, while still immersed in the construction startup and attending school at UNT, Stephanie spontaneously hosted the inaugural Swing Your Wood charity golf tournament. Despite having no real plan, the event was a resounding success, igniting her determination to create an empire she truly believed in. The following Monday, she filed for a tax ID number and officially launched Professional Partiers. Stephanie envisioned a group that not only brought joy to our clients’ special moments and memories but also made a positive impact on the community and fostered sustainability in the event industry.

By 2019, Stephanie had left the construction world completely and finished her last semester attending UNT – still no degree (who needs a chemistry degree anyways?) Working odd bar and catering jobs to sustain cash flow, she poured her heart and soul into growing the brand, refining processes, and assembling the perfect team. Leaving her last bar job in 2020, Stephanie has been a full-time force behind Professional Partiers since 2021, continuously fueling its growth and expanding the team.

Our planner services

Why is a bar planner required? And what are the benefits of having our planning team back every event!

Under Professional Partiers Bar we include a planner for most every event as part of our basic level of service - not just to talk over the details, and bounce cocktail, mock-tail, coffee bar, etc. drinks off of- but to provide 1:1 communication for every question you may have, and every idea you may want to create. All of our planner collections include your personal go-to planner for all things bar, the creation of a detailed alcohol shopping list (how cool is that!), whether it's a 30 person hour party, or a 300 person wedding, our planners will tell you exactly how much, and exactly of what you need, in order to have a seamless event. Additionally all of our collections come with event specific menus, personalized with your exact drinks, theme(s), offerings etc. Our 2nd and 3rd tier collections include additional menu setups, event decor, and extra time to create the event of your dreams down to every last detail. See below to meet our Professional Partiers Bar Planners. :)
