Loved by Ann Arbor hosts

A few recent words from clients who hired Lace & Beads on Thumbtack.

★★★★★

"One of my best decisions for my son's graduation party was reserving Lace and Beads as the bartender! Lacey was so helpful in helping me plan. They thought of every last detail and arrived early enough to prep — both looked so professional and polished. Their service, wooden bar, and set-up really elevated my party!"

★★★★★

"Hired for a birthday BBQ for a house party and everything was wonderful! Several guests commented about how great the drinks and service were. Lacey greatly assisted with a specialty drink menu (would highly recommend the old fashioneds and cucumber lime). Would very much recommend hiring for any type of occasion."
