Based in Los Angeles. Ask about events outside the city.

Weddings

Custom cocktail service for your wedding

We start with what the two of you actually like to drink and build a short menu around it, usually a signature cocktail each, a crowd-pleaser and a zero-proof option. Cocktail hour is fast, the toast is poured on cue, and the late-night round lands when the dance floor needs it.

  • Ceremony welcome drinks
  • Cocktail hour
  • Champagne toast
  • Late-night round

Private parties

Birthdays, anniversaries, backyard nights

From a dinner for twelve to a backyard party for a hundred. Pick a theme or a spirit and we'll write a menu for it, then set up a bar that fits the space, whether that's a kitchen island or a full rented bar.

  • Milestone birthdays
  • Anniversaries
  • Holiday parties
  • Dinner parties

Corporate & brand events

Launches, client dinners & team events

Polished service that represents your company well. We can build a drink around your brand or product, batch for speed at larger events, and work with your venue's rules and timeline.

  • Product launches
  • Client dinners
  • Team celebrations
  • Brand activations
