Client Review of the Year
"
I've planned over two hundred events and I've never had a bartender who understood the room the way they did. Our guests didn't just drink — they lingered.

Intimate Wedding

The Brief

A garden ceremony for fifty guests who know their wine.

Event TypePrivate Wedding
LocationHudson Valley, NY
Guest Count52 Guests
Duration6 Hours
ClientSofia & James Whitmore

"We wanted it to feel like a dinner party where the drinks were just as considered as the menu. Not a wedding bar — a curated experience."

— Sofia Whitmore, Bride

The Approach

Bartender crafting cocktails at an intimate garden wedding with elegant glassware and fresh botanicals
Cocktail Hour
01

Pre-event consultation

Two weeks before, we tasted the dinner menu and built a cocktail program to mirror each course — botanical gins for the appetizer hour, aged whiskey sours alongside the main.

02

Signature "Sofia" cocktail

Elderflower, cucumber, Hendricks, lemon verbena foam. Named after the bride and printed on the menu card. Four guests asked for the recipe card before the night ended.

03

Zero-waste setup

All garnishes prepped on-site. Leftover spirits sealed and returned to the couple. Nothing wasted, nothing missed.

The Approach

Professional bartenders working efficiently at a large corporate gala with multiple bar stations and elegant setup
Corporate Gala
01

Multi-station deployment

Four bar stations across the venue floor, each staffed by two bartenders. No queue exceeded four people at any point during peak hour.

02

Corporate cocktail program

Drinks named after the company's product lines. The "Series A" (champagne, elderflower, gold leaf) became the unofficial event cocktail.

03

Logistics handled end-to-end

We coordinated with the venue, sourced all spirits, managed ice delivery, and struck the setup in under 40 minutes post-event.

The Brief

A Series B celebration for two hundred people who couldn't be kept waiting.
