ABOUT TOAST, TO YOU
Born and raised in San Pedro, CA, I got my first job at 21 years old bartending in 2010 for a Catalina Island travel company, making their world-famous Bloody Marys. From then on I was hooked in the service industry. I went on to work at an upscale French bistro in Redondo Beach. There I furthered my knowledge of domestic, imported, and craft Wines and Beers. After 10 years in the industry, and the recent changes brought about in 2020, I decided to start my own Mobile Bar and Bartending service.
A special quality that sets Toast, To You apart is the attention to detail, and personalized approach to service. We are passionate about what we do, and will go above and beyond to ensure your guests have an amazing experience at your next party.
We look forward to working with you to create an unforgettable event!
-Samantha, Owner/Operator
