Reviews
Since the first phone call I made to Jennifer, I knew right away my daughters Sweet 16 was going to be great! We met a few times leading up to the event as she brought sample baskets with her so my daughter could select what she wanted. Jennifer made it all about my daughter! If I needed something else, she found it within her network! I hired her staff as well to help with check in, decorating, bussing tables…. Omg if it wasn’t for Jennifer’s team, we would not have set up on time! Throughout the event, they were one step ahead of me, whether it was getting the cake ready, or the glasses for the toast, filled and handed to our guest! I don’t remember if I ever saw them taking a break or so, they were amazing! Hands down one of the best experiences with a event business like this! Jennifer and her team, always checked in with my wife and I to see if we needed anything! In my previous role with the Seahawks I’ve done events for many years, and I can tell you that “ Jennifer’s team has that “ It” factor and know what their doing! The pricing of her items and photo booths were great! I highly recommend Jen and her team! They will not disappoint!
Thank you Jen, my daughter loved everything you provided! Your ideas and attention to detail were amazing! We will definitely reach out again!

I cannot recommend Jenns bartending services enough! We had a "normal" sized wedding reception in October 2022, most guests were of age, which made for a lot of "drinkers". Months before, Jenn reached out to see "to see how she could help", gave a detailed shopping list
(biggest blessing), created "bar sign with drink selections" and communicated often with me about the event. She arrived at the venue early, dressed professionally, with a smile on her face! Jenn started pouring drinks the moment she arrived without hesitation. She was fast, polite, professional and made a mean margarita! I will definitely use Jenn for all of my events!

Simply perfect! Pour & Pose pulled out all the stops to make my wedding day perfect! Highly recommend hiring them to come out for your wedding to do the photobooth and bartend! The photobooth with the printed photos was excellent and all my guests loved having a picture to take home and got them texted to you! She helped manage the guest book and made sure everyone put a picture in there with their message. Above and beyond!
Sarah Herrington
I am so thankful I chose Jennifer with Pour and Pose for event planning and wedding rental. It was a complete godsend as she handled everything from helping me plan, rentals, decorating, bartending, and a Photo Booth! I could not have done it without her and every detail was beautiful and better than I expected! She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and was reassuring throughout the entire process. Her Photo Booth is top of the line, and was the hit of the party. Her team that came out day-of to bartend and operate the Photo Booth were kind, thoughtful towards my husband and myself, and made everything run smoothly. Pour and Pose pricing is very reasonable and I’m confident they can be the answer for anyone else seeking these services. Thank you again to the Pour and Pose team!

Jennifer at Pour & Pose was amazing to work with for my wedding on 7/6/24! She was super responsive, kind, answered all of our questions, and worked with me on last minute rentals. Both her bartending and rental businesses are reasonably priced. She even reached out to me and was supportive when one of our other vendors unexpectedly cancelled (unrelated to Pour & Pose). The day of the wedding she was a friendly and charismatic bartender and was basically BFFs with our guests by the end of the day. Ultimately, it felt like she really cared about us and our wedding and that makes all the difference.

Jenn is a true hospitality professional. She really enjoys doing whatever it takes to make your event memorable and perfect. Excellent communication, a sense of urgency, the utmost professionalism and an extremely warm heart is what you get when you hire Jenn for your wedding or special event.
She's a gem.
Cara Parks
Jenn was AMAZING! I reached out to her to bartend my daughter's wedding and she was fabulous! From the moment that I contacted her, she was excited, responsive, and professional. She took the time to give suggestions on the drink menu as well as help me figure out where to purchase the ingredients from to save money as best I could. She was prompt in responding to my questions and I felt confident in her expertise.
On the big day, she communicated when she would arrive and she showed up with a smile and enthusiastic to make it a great event! All the guests thought she was great as she talked to everyone while keeping the line moving. I could not have picked a better person to bartend! I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a responsible, efficient, professional, and friendly bartender!

We hired Jenn Lasky to bartend for my husbands 50th birthday. She was exceptional! She met up with me prior to the event and created a few special drinks to serve. She provided me with a list of what to buy in order to keep costs to a minimal. Throughout the entire process she had great communication and promptly returned all my calls and emails.
Jenn showed up early to the venue and was well dressed as this was a semi formal affair. Her customer service with the guests was top notch. She was friendly and funny and everyone loved her! She was sure to not over serve as people would be driving home at the end of the night. The bar was one of the highlights of the evening. She made sure that the line was never too long and tried to get everyone served in a timely manner.
I would highly recommend her services. She helped to make our party memorable!

If you’re looking for something unique and fun for your wedding guests or for any event, this 360 video camera is a must! This was one of the number one compliments we received from guests at our wedding, they absolutely LOVED it. Jenn was so sweet to work with. The planning process was so seamless. She gave us the entire album with all the videos from the night and it’s been so fun to watch everyone. We will cherish these videos for years to come! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!
