Pictured: Marilyn and two of her sons Jake (left) and Chevy (right)
Marilyn has always had an entrepenurial spirit and has a lot of ambition to go-go-go. Prior to starting One More Bartending, she was working at a local golf course providing bar/restaurant management. She brought in Jake to run a couple of bev cart & bar shifts and they had fun in the service industry together. The idea came to mind to start their own bartending business focusing on weddings, birthday's, etc. This would allow them to chart their own schedule and spend time together while he was away at college and help him earn money for college expenses. A couple years later, along came her youngest, Chevy, (of age to serve) and they got to team up as well and catch up with one another while serving at their events. Of course, more college expenses to cover! (:
Jake graduated in 2020 from the U of MN - Mpls. as a Mechanical Engineer and enjoys his career choice. Jake's outgoing and friendly personality has gained him many great friends (several have come on board and work with us!) and he is always on the go. Whether he's with a very special lady (Cailin), golfing with his friends, on a hiking trip, or just traveling to visit friends that have moved away, we're lucky to get his time with us! Our clients and guests love to find out that we are a mother & son team and working together has given us valuable memories together! Update on Jake: He's moved away to Phoenix, AZ in October 2023. We're keeping him on the team in case he wants to come back and help out or potentially grow to OMB South - after all, wedding season is just getting underway down there when we close up. :)
Along came Chevy - he's 5 years younger than Jake and is also a fellow U of MN/Mpls. student - studying finance/accounting at Carlson School of Business as he'll be starting his senior year fall/2024. Chevy loves being able to bartend every job possible. He's got a carefree attitude, always smiling, and living in the moment. He loves to meet you and your guests and will introduce himself to everyone. He's got a great memory for names and that has been his little 'niche' in this business. Chevy and Jake are also frat brothers at Beta Theta Pi fraternity. They both have servant hearts and I am doubly proud to work with them!
There is one more brother that has started to join us - Carson. Carson has the same sweet, kind, disposition - but being around crowds is not his thing. Carson has dabbled in a few jobs with us - and has come out of his shell and comfort zone a little bit (and even had some fun!). It's been great to have him as part of our teams and we hope there will be several more jobs that he'll help out with.
Last but not least, Marilyn has 5 fantastic stepchildren and 3 amazing grandchildren. A step-daughter and daughter-in-law have given a hand with us and we're so happy to have them on board! Hopefully you'll see a lot more of them. (:

- Bobbi Jo Renneberg 11/23BluSky Office Grand OpeningMarilyn and Sandy were SPECTACULAR for our office grand opening! Marilyn was extremely accommodating to my crazy drink requests. They set up, tear down, and bring such a great atmosphere to any event! Clients were complimenting the bar all night and every drink was served with a smile. Can’t wait to use them for my next event!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about One More Bartending! By the end of the event they felt more like family than vendors. Marilyn and Chevy took care of every little detail and I didn't have to stress about anything because I trusted them to have it handled. They were so supportive leading up to the wedding and were so easy to communicate with! They are a MUST BOOK!

- Samantha AndersonWedding Oct. 2023I had an amazing experience with One More Bartending for my wedding. The bartenders were so fun, thoughtful, attentive, and engaged. They checked in on my husband and I multiple times throughout the night. I had multiple guests come up and tell me how wonderful and fun the bartenders were. They were memorizing names and drink orders throughout the night. AMAZING and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
- Danielle MorrowWedding August 2023Highly recommend One More Bartending Service. From beginning to end they made the process so easy and enjoyable. Marilyn was there answering all my questions and offered such helpful advice. They did such an amazing job at our wedding. People kept commenting during and after a wedding how well they carry themselves. It’s so fun seeing your vendors enjoying the day as much as your family and friends are. Book your event with them, I promise you won’t regret it!!
Marilyn’s sons, Jake and Chevy, were absolutely amazing at my daughter’s wedding. We had so many compliments from family and friends telling us how wonderful they were. They would remember guests names and even what they were drinking and genuinely wanted to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. Such phenomenal young men! Marilyn herself was super communicative, timely, and helpful through the entire process. She gave us all the information we needed to ensure we had the right amounts of liquor and also gathered everything she needed from us ahead of time so she would be prepared for the day, as well. Marilyn and her crew played a huge role in making the wedding a success. It was very easy to relax and know everything was under control with them around! Looking forward to using them again!
