Eventful A.F Services is a professional event operations and bar lesson company built for clients who expect experience — not chaos. We specialize in structured execution, controlled bar systems, and modern secular ceremonies.
We build a clean flow so your event feels elevated — not improvised.
We protect inventory, pacing, and guest experience. No “free-pour your budget away.”
Secular wedding officiating with intention, structure, and personality — without recycled scripts.
Events fall apart when you just “wing it.” We don’t.
Officially: A.F. are the founder’s initials.
Unofficially: if you know, you know.
Because most events lose money at the bar.
Because “pub-bar” habits don’t belong at elevated celebrations.
Because too many ceremonies feel copy-pasted.
We operate with structure, standards, and accountability.
Let’s build it correctly from the start.
“My name is Mary, and I want to share my experience that I had with Ashley in reference to training me for bartending. This was such a great experience for me. I highly recommend her for many reasons. I felt very at ease with her — she was very down to earth, kind, and friendly. The training was taught very simply with no rush, making it stress free. Ashley's level of experience as a teacher and mentor made the learning process quite eventful and easy. I felt no pressure or stress. I am grateful to have found her for my training. I would highly recommend her.”
“I met Ashley while attending bartending school, where she was my instructor. Her experience was incredibly helpful — the way she teaches comes from a real place of passion. She has this calm, confident aura that makes you want to learn and do better without ever feeling intimidated. The way she flows behind the bar made the whole experience feel natural instead of overwhelming. She didn’t just teach techniques — she taught confidence, rhythm, and how to actually feel the craft. Ashley is truly inspirational, and I’m grateful I learned from someone who not only knows what they’re doing, but genuinely loves what they do. That energy sticks with you long after the class ends.”
