WinterBrooke Mobile Bar Co

Come prepared with your guest count estimate, wedding date, venue location, and any initial thoughts on your bar vision. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the details figured out yet – that’s what I’m here for! It’s helpful to know your budget range, whether you’re providing alcohol or need recommendations, and if you have any signature cocktail ideas. Most importantly, come ready to have fun planning this part of your wedding. Our consultation is relaxed, informative, and designed to make you feel confident about your bar service.

Professional, personable, and stress-free. I bring 20+ years of bartending expertise with a laid-back approach that puts couples at ease. My style is luxury without the stuffiness – think craft cocktails served with genuine warmth and a smile. I believe your bar should reflect your personality, not just be a generic drink station. Whether you want classic elegance, tropical vibes, or something uniquely “you,” I’ll create a bar experience that fits seamlessly into your celebration. I’m detail-oriented in planning but flexible on the day of, ensuring everything runs smoothly while you enjoy your moment.

It’s simple and stress-free! First, we’ll have a consultation to discuss your vision, guest count, and budget. I’ll create a custom proposal outlining services, pricing, and package options. Once you book, we’ll stay in touch leading up to your wedding – I’ll handle vendor coordination, finalize your cocktail menu, and answer any questions. About two weeks before, we’ll confirm final details and guest count. On your wedding day, I arrive early for setup, handle all bar service seamlessly, and take care of complete breakdown. You won’t have to think about the bar at all – that’s my job. After your celebration, I follow up to ensure everything exceeded your expectations.

I recommend booking as soon as you have your venue and date confirmed, ideally 6 to 12 months in advance for peak wedding season (October through May in Florida). Premium dates like Saturdays in spring and fall book up quickly. That said, I’ve successfully executed beautiful bar services with just a few weeks notice for couples who found me later in their planning. If your date is coming up soon, reach out anyway! I’ll do everything possible to accommodate you. Early booking gives us more time for creative cocktail development and ensures you get your preferred package, but great service is possible at any timeline.

Our most popular package is designed for 100 to 150 guests and includes professional bartenders for your entire reception, complete mobile bar setup with all necessary equipment and glassware, two custom signature cocktails designed specifically for you, all mixers and bar essentials including fresh garnishes, pre-event consultation and planning, coordination with your venue and other vendors, and full setup and breakdown so you never see the behind-the-scenes work. We also provide a shopping list if you’re purchasing your own alcohol, or can connect you with preferred liquor vendors. Every package is fully insured and includes experienced, licensed bartenders who know how to keep your celebration flowing smoothly.

Absolutely! Every wedding is unique, and your bar service should be too. While I have standard packages as starting points, most couples customize their service to fit their specific needs. Want to add a champagne wall for your cocktail hour? Done. Need an extra bartender for a larger guest count? Easy. Interested in a specialty tequila tasting station or a build-your-own-mimosa bar for a brunch reception? Let’s make it happen. I can also work à la carte if you only need specific services. My goal is to create exactly what you envision, not force you into a one-size-fits-all package. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your priorities and build a service plan that fits your celebration perfectly.

Yes! Over 20 years in the industry, I’ve had the honor of serving weddings from many different cultural and religious backgrounds including Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Catholic, and multicultural celebrations that blend traditions beautifully. I understand the importance of respecting cultural customs, timing considerations, and dietary restrictions. Whether that means coordinating bar service around specific ceremony elements, providing exclusively kosher or halal-friendly options, or ensuring we’re set up for traditional toasts and rituals, I work closely with couples and their families to honor what’s meaningful to them. I’m always eager to learn about traditions I haven’t encountered before, and I approach every celebration with cultural sensitivity and respect.

Great question! Couples often forget to ask about the timeline and logistics of bar service. Specifically, when does the bar open and close? Do you serve during cocktail hour and the reception, or just one? How do you handle last call? Another big one is asking about ice. Most couples don’t realize how much ice a wedding bar actually needs, and running out mid-reception is a disaster. I always ensure there’s more than enough ice and have a backup plan. Also, couples should ask about liability insurance and alcohol service training. Not every bartender carries proper insurance or knows how to handle intoxicated guests responsibly. Finally, ask what happens if something goes wrong or equipment fails. I always have backup equipment and contingency plans, but not every vendor does. These behind the scenes details make the difference between smooth service and wedding day stress.

The cocktail trends right now are amazing! Couples are moving away from basic open bars and getting creative. Signature cocktails that tell their love story are huge, like naming drinks after how they met or their favorite date spots. Mocktail stations with the same level of craft and presentation as alcoholic drinks are everywhere now, which I love because everyone deserves a beautiful drink. Sustainability is big too, with couples requesting locally sourced ingredients, reusable glassware instead of plastic, and seasonal garnishes. Interactive elements like build your own cocktail stations, tequila or whiskey tastings, and espresso martini bars for late night energy are super popular. Aesthetically, couples want Instagram worthy bar setups with neon signs, fresh florals, and unique backdrops. And probably the biggest trend? Couples prioritizing the guest experience and wanting their bar to be a focal point of the celebration, not just a functional necessity. It’s making weddings so much more fun and memorable!
