Hi! I’m Denaldi — though friends and family simply call me Dena, which inspired the name Drinks with Dena. I’m proudly born and raised by the Jersey Shore, and while my background is rooted in science, my passion has always been people, celebrations, and creating unforgettable moments.

Bartending isn’t just about pouring drinks — it’s about elevating experiences. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a large celebration, I bring a personal touch and a deep understanding of what makes each event meaningful. My goal is to make every occasion feel effortless, memorable, and full of joy.

The spirit of Drinks with Dena runs deep in my roots. My grandfather, a true islander at heart, crafted and sold his own sugarcane rum back in the islands — a legacy of hospitality, craftsmanship, and tradition that I proudly carry on.

Let Drinks with Dena be part of your next celebration — not just to serve, but to help you savor moments that really matter.

-Cheers, DWD
