Welcome! My name is Craig Dane, owner/operator of CDE, an independent professional event bartending business serving the greater Atlanta area. If you would like a little background music while you browse my website, click here.

The events my team and I serve include all weddings, corporate events, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, festivals, trade shows, bachelor(ette) parties, frat parties, etc.

I have over twenty years of customer service careers from wholesale business owner to financial adviser to pro shop manager. I was inspired to start this customer service business from countless experiences with rather rude, discourteous and incompetent servers. I could never understand how often people who relied on tips for their livelihood would not put forth the effort to earn them.

My team includes Taryn, Kaylee and Kara who can serve as bartenders or servers depending on your needs. Our team will treat your guests with respect, professionalism and efficiency. We believe service with a smile is not a cliche’ phrase, but the way we choose to do business.

I do not sell a product but I do sell an experience. I strive not to be the ego driven, center of attention “charmer” that we’ve all encountered at the club scene. The focus should always be the event and/or the host. The bartender should compliment and reflect the event, not dominate it with his banter.

I look forward to serving you!
