About Us

Bender Mixology Services is a family-owned business, led by Ben and Kelsie Bender, a married couple from Carbondale Illinois, recently relocated to Chesterfield Missouri. They strike a balance between their professional and personal lives, raising three children and actively engaging in their community.

As Manager and Head Bartender, Kelsie Bender brings 9 years of bartending experience and a certification in mixology to the table. Following a brief stint in the food industry with dreams of becoming a chef, Kelsie discovered her true passion for delivering top-notch hospitality. This prompted her to focus on advanced bartending methods and receive formal training in spirits, enabling her to concoct unique cocktails using an array of unconventional ingredients.

Ben, a lawyer by profession, moonlights as a bartender with a passion for hospitality, providing an exceptional and comforting experience for his clients.

Working together, the Benders combine their efforts to assist the local community and train the next generation of bartenders, sharing their expertise and passion for mixology with fellow professionals in the area, as well as providing event staffing services.
