Expert Guidance for Hosts Who Want to Impress,
Not Stress
Is This You?
“The atmosphere matters just as much as the drinks.”
“This isn’t just another party, it needs to feel intentional.”
“A bartender isn’t what’s needed, a bar presence is.”
“We want a sense of style, but still easygoing.”
“Service should anticipate, not react.”
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone.
Several of our past clients have felt the same way - but they didn’t let these obstacles stop them. And with the right guidance, you don’t have to either.

Birthday Milestones

Jo approached us to deliver tailored cocktail catering for two upscale family events, each hosting 100 guests on back-to-back weekends.
As an ex-hospitalty expert herself, Jo was well versed in mobile cocktail services. She was seeking to create memories that her guests would never forget.
-
Working in collaboration with Jo, we curated menus designed to delight her guests, balancing refined taste with approachability.
A key request was that we recreate a long-standing popular mocktail inspired by an acclaimed Central London Restaurant.
-
Our team expertly crafted the bespoke request, in addition to two signatures of our own, alongside some perennial crowd favourites.
The result? Exceptional cocktails that were as memorable as the occasions themselves.
