Margs and Moomoo’s!
Beth messaged me a couple months ago about wanting to have a chill and lowkey 40th at her house where everyone was encouraged to wear comfy clothes (aka Moomoo’s)

Eveyone was so excited to celebrate Beth and have some tequila cocktails.

Beth didn’t skip a beat with the theme and the decor. She’s taking a break from working so she’s calling it her pre-retirement era. Lots of books and relaxing is in her near future 🙌🏼

Spicy pineapple marg or Paloma anyone? 🍹

Allow me to reintroduce myself ✨

Hi, I’m Melissa — the face behind ShakeItUp Mobile Bartending.

I started ShakeItUp with one big goal in mind: to create a life where I could be more present with my son while still doing something I truly love. Now, I get to stay home more, work just one day a week at my favorite place (Labor & Delivery 🤍), and pour my energy into building something that feels so me.

ShakeItUp has become the perfect mix of everything I love creating beautiful, fun cocktail experiences, connecting with amazing people, and bringing creative ideas to life through custom menus and event details.

What makes this even more special is the support. From every client who books, shares, or refers… to the incredible team I have behind me when I need extra hands people who show up and treat ShakeItUp like it’s their own. I truly couldn’t do this without you.

Watching this business grow into what it is today has been the most rewarding feeling, and I’m just getting started. I’m so excited for what’s to come 🖤✨

Good drinks. Good vibes. Always.
— Melissa, ShakeItUp Mobile Bartending

What a fun weekend!

Divorce party Friday evening ✌️

Dundee Easter Market mocktails Saturday afternoon 🐰💕

Bri’s Bunco Bash for her 35th. It was honestly so nice seeing a large group of people I went to highschool with, chatting and catching up while keeping their spicy margs and dirty martinis flowin’ 💃🎲

♠️🎰Casino Night♠️🎰

How fun?! H&M threw a weekday party for their upper management and I got the pleasure of bartending it!

High roller Hugo was simple, refreshing and delicious

Fast fashion was flying off the bar top FAST. Tequila and blood orange juice? What could be better?

Sweet simple and fun event on a Wednesday in the city. So thankful to have been apart of it ☺️

Headed down to Chi-city to celebrate the hard working achievers of Baird! Second time there in a month and always makes me feel so welcomed and comfortable! Round of applause to their awesome employees 👏👏👏

Thursday night Jill reached out and asked if I was able to come down to the city to bartender her sweet aunt Beth’s divorce party. Last minute guys always turn out to be my fave… going to the city on a Friday afternoon takes about 5 years off of my life but the vibes and the VIEW and the FOOD of the event made it alllll worth it!

It was awesome seeing Beth do what’s best for her and her happiness 💫 her and her closest besties were jammin to Elton while eating DELICIOUS food crafted right in front of them by

A small intimate but powerful celebration 💕

My sweet subtle Wednesday morning reminder this morning why I work so hard to keep ShakeItUp a float.

This ADHD business idea of mine has given me the privilege to only work 1 day at week at the hospital I love and spend the rest of my days with my little guy when he’s home from preschool. Sometimes I can’t believe I made this dream a reality. 🥹
