I can’t recommend Vanessa enough! Our mocktail package was exactly what we wanted, and she was so creative, consultative and professional throughout the process. Everyone was raving about the drinks, and even our sober guests (and one bride) got to feel fancy and special. As an LGBTQ+ couple we really appreciated her warmth and support. She and her team traveled from Phoenix to Tucson with their bars and it all looked and tasted perfect. Book her - you won’t regret it.

Benefit Bar AZ was an absolute standout! From the first conversation to the event itself, Vanessa made it all so effortless and extraordinary. She wasn’t just there to serve drinks—she became a part of the story, infusing every detail with excitement, creativity, and heart.
Vanessa’s passion for locally sourced, clean, and vibrant ingredients shone through in every sip. Her ability to take my vision and elevate it was unreal.
Benefit Bar brought a vibe that felt so natural and connected—like she intuitively understood the energy of the day and amplified it tenfold.

Benefit Bar went above and beyond for our event. Not only were the drinks delicious, but the creativity that came with the drink concoctions to keep them on theme for the event made the night even more special. The ingenuity that comes with the bar itself and its easy to set up and take down make it so much less stressful for everyone involved. The professionalism that was displayed by Vanessa, owner of the Benefit Bar, helped maintain the high level of networking our event required.
Having Benefit Bar at your event will enhance the experience for everyone there. You won’t regret it!

Having Vanessa and her team at our event was the best decision we could have made!
We booked them because they compost and recycle most items, which sold us instantly.
Their attention to detail, and care for our guests blew us away, and to top it all off, their bar visually is to DIE FOR! So beautiful!
I would reconnect them to anyone.
Thank you!
