HI, I’M RACHEL!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Rachel. I was born & raised in Kansas City, Missouri (GO CHIEFSSSSSSS) and moved to Arizona in 2021. The desert definitely feels like home!

I went to college for journalism and began teaching with Teach For America in Kansas City. I believe in educational equity and that all children deserve an amazing education, and I am honored to now work for Roosevelt School District in the South Phoenix community. I recently graduated from ASU with my Masters in Educational Leadership (yay Sun Devils!).

When I became a teacher, I knew I wanted side hustle, and that’s how my bartending biz was born. Originally Two Chicks One Bar, turned Two Chicks Bartending, and now Valley Bartending here in the Valley of the Sun!

in-home bartender

I have been bartending weddings, corporate events, house parties, and everything in between since getting my international bartending license in 2016.

While I do believe I make the best and freshest margarita you’ll ever taste, that’s not what I love most about this biz. It’s meeting you and all of your friends and families. I pride myself on creating a welcoming, safe, professional, and FUN environment and leave every event with lifetime friends. Creating connection, memories, and a delicious cocktail is what I am all about!

I look forward to connecting with you and bringing your next event to another level with mobile bartending!
