Black Barrel Bar was incredible at our wedding. They were very professional, had great drinks, and the uniqueness to the "bar" is a talking point about our wedding in and of itself. I would HIGHLY recommend the Black Barrel Bar.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Black Barrel Bar. They were so kind in their emails and then in person on the day of our wedding. Having kind, experienced, and reli...
able vendors can really make your wedding day, and I felt so confident and happy with them. We loved the unique appearance of their vintage Airstream, and our guests loved it too. The drinks themselves were also delicious. I genuinely loved my bride's drink too (the bee's knees). They had also worked with or venue many times before, which made me that much more comfortable. Our venue loves them too. They were so kind and attentive throughout our entire wedding day. They even gave me a tutorial on how to pop and spray champagne, they quickly filled our champagne tower, and they brought us our bride and groom's drink as soon as we sat down with our dinner. I thought that was so nice and thoughtful of them. I was very pleased with their menu options. I felt like we had a great assortment of beverages for our guests that we actually wanted to drink. Their prices were right in line with our tight budget, and making payments for our wedding was easy. We simply mailed a check. I highly recommend working with them for your wedding or event!

Black Barrel Bar was a dream to work with. My couple had to re-plan their wedding in a matter of weeks during a pandemic, and many vendors had to be re-booked at the new location. ...
Black Barrel helped make the booking process as easy as possible with their awesome packages to choose from, but then didn't hesitate to customize to make the package just right for the bride and groom. As a planner, they made my job easy and were so easy to work with from logistical planning to day-of set up and execution. And not only does their airstream look amazing, but the whole staff is professional and kind. Can't wait to work with them again!

t how much they enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this option for a number of reasons! 1. the package includes everything so it takes multiple details off of planning 2. the bar is incredibly cute and adds a great aesthetic touch to your wedding 3. the company is easy to work with 4. for a backyard wedding I did a lot of price checking and this option was surprisingly affordable
