Choosing Brand Bar was a fantastic decision! From initial communication to crafting a menu that suited both our guests and budget, to ensuring everyone was well taken care of at the event, Brand Bar was a pleasure to work with.
We had the pleasure of working with Tom and his team for our wedding, and it was an absolute joy. Their experience and professionalism were evident from start to finish. Tom was consistently responsive throughout the planning process; promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had about the services and bar packages provided. One standout feature was Tom's willingness to work with us on signature cocktails, which turned out to be a huge hit. Additionally, he allowed us to provide our own non-alcoholic mixers, a rarity in the Charleston market, showing that it's not just about business for them—they genuinely strive to tailor the bar experience to each couple's preferences. Brand Bar goes above and beyond for their clients, demonstrating a genuine commitment to ensuring satisfaction. Considering Charleston's status as a major wedding destination, his company is fair with pricing, without compromising on quality in the slightest.
On the day of the wedding, his team was exceptionally professional and efficient, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the drinks they served. The bartenders were incredibly kind and worked hard to ensure everyone was happy. We would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!
Tom did a great job getting us prepared for our wedding, and his staff really delivered on the day of. Our guests were able to get everything they could out of the bar, as his staff was excellent in getting drinks prepared and allowing people to maximize their night. He also is very competitively priced and well worth the cost.
Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Brand Bars as a beverage service vendor for any event. Tom was very professional and responsive with getting back to us with clarification and answers to any questions that we had about provided services and bar packages. We found that their cost (per person for each bar package) was much better than other bar service vendors in the area (my personal opinion) and allowed us more cost savings. We had no issues with timeliness of setup, support or breakdown for our event. Our bartender staff (Amanda and Katelin) were courteous, kind and extremely professional and personable with their guest interactions and service provided. I would definitely hire Bar Brands again for any future event.

Any questions?
We had the BEST experience with Brand Bars & Events! Not only did they provide a full bar for a very reasonable price, their staff provided myself, my husband and all our guests with excellent service. The bartenders were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make everyone happy. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
Brand Bars has become the Preservation Society's go-to bar service over the past couple of years and we now use them for nearly all of our events. Whether it's a casual get-together or a high-end donor event, they always rise to the occasion. Their pricing is very reasonable, which is important for us as a non-profit, but I also find them to be consistent, professional, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Brand Bars to anybody looking for a bar service for events of any size, style, or budget.
Jayme and Kendall were the best wedding planners we could have ever asked for. Their attention to detail was really impressive and every vendor they recommended was fantastic. They really took a lot of stress away from us and helped in more ways than we could count. We originally had prior wedding planners that caused a lot of issues and stress, but Jayme and Kendall jumped right in and fixed everything quickly to get us back on track. We are so thankful we had them by our sides throughout the planning process and our big day.
Tom and his team were fantastic to work with. They were very flexible leading up the event and answered the endless questions we had promptly. When the night came, we knew we were in great hands. Our bar moved smoothly, and our guests had a blast! We were grateful to have found Tom, for the value and service, you cannot beat them!
Tom and his team were amazing! They were so easy to work with during the planning process, and the wedding was perfect! Their package options are extremely easy to navigate, and there's definitely something for everyone to enjoy!
Brand Bars was the perfect choice for our wedding reception. Tom helped to par us with a package with the right mix of spirits we wanted and that our guests would enjoy. Tom and his team are professional and helpful and great people to work with. They were one of the many aspects of our reception that just went spectacularly. Brand Bars is the one to book to make it all so easy and simple for your big day !
Brand was the best! Tom was extremely kind & his team was extremely professional. Their options for beer, wine, spirits were top notch — better than most in my opinion! We are super happy we went with them for our special day! Highly recommend!
Tom made the entire bar process so easy! He was quick to respond and always had an answer for our questions. We last minute- like week of!- asked if it was possible to add a champagne toast to our entire bar order and he made it happen without hesitation. Day of, there was never a line- the bar staff were organized and efficient and all our guests had a blast!! Thank you to Tom and his crew with Brand Bar!
Karen was a dream to work with day of! She was extremely nice and welcoming to all our guests she served! Tom initially worked with me in setting up the contract and he was very knowledgeable and helpful when picking which package to go with. He didn’t come off as most do with “getting the higher package” he listened to our needs and helped us! Such an absolute pleasure to work with everyone!
Tom and Brand Bar and Events were wonderful. They were responsive to questions and helped us choose the perfect bar for our event. The staff at the wedding was friendly, efficient, and kept us all hydrated. The groom and I were kept with a drink in hand the entire evening. I would completely recommend them for all of your bar needs!
We hired Tom & his crew with Brand Bars & Events to handle our bar needs for our wedding. From day 1, he worked with us and created the perfect package that fit our needs & wants. He allowed us to mix & match alcohols to fit exactly what our guests wanted to drink. On wedding day, my husband and I were never empty handed! Our guests loved the drink selections & the quick and easy service the bartenders provided. Tom made our dreams come true with our bar vision & made the whole process stress free! We highly recommend hiring Tom to handle your bar needs & enjoy a stress-free reception that you & your guests will absolutely enjoy!
So easy to work with!! Very responsive to my and my now-husbands questions and customizations. I spent absolutely none of my planning time worried about this bar team!
From day #1 of our wedding planning we knew we wanted to offer beers from the Charleston area (beer is something my husband and I have bonded over). Brand Bar's packages offered exactly what we wanted + gave us the option to add things.
Closer to the date, the team let us know that a specific beer of ours was going to be pretty limited and offered the PERFECT solution of subbing in a couple of beers from the same brewery.
During our reception the staff made sure we always had water and our favourite drink handy :)
The wedding was only 5 days ago and several guests have already reached out complimenting both the staff and the selection!!
Tom was flexible when we were interested in changing our package and made planning so easy. I asked a lot of questions and he was always happy to help. The bartenders were friendly and gave great service.
We highly recommend!
WONDERFUL!
We got married in Beaufort and they made the drive. The staff was wonderful and we had such a great time! They had such wonderful attitudes and were a pleasure to work with.
The company is very responsive, extremely helpful with insight, and so easy to work with.
10/10!
Great service from this team! We brought in our own beverages and they met us ahead of time to have everything chilled to start the night off right. Respectful, on time, and very easy to work with!
Tom was so wonderful to work with and the staff the day of did a fabulous job!
Brand Bars was a wonderful vendor to work with. Easy to communicate with, efficient, and professional! The bartenders at our wedding were friendly and fun! The prices were reasonable, and we were glad to have chosen Brand Bars for our wedding.
The bar was a huge hit! The setup was beautiful, they had something for everyone, and the bar tenders were so nice. They even had the option to add on hard seltzers to the package for a super affordable rate. Tom and Jayme are the best in this industry and I cannot recommend them enough!
We hired Brand Bars to provide the bar services for our wedding last month and overall it was an excellent experience! During our planning process, Tom was very professional and was also very accommodating of our requests - he was even able to source in a favorite beer of mine from my hometown for the wedding which was a very kind gesture. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the entire evening and made sure everyone was taken care of. We highly recommend Brand Bars - they were outstanding!
Brand Bars & Events is the way to go!!! we Highly recommend booking them for your big day!!! They provided exceptional service for our bar.
We decided to book them because they were affordable for a good selection of drinks, and they are so easy to work with to make sure you are happy and choosing everything you want for your big day! Book them!! You will not go wrong!!
My wife and I worked with Tom at Brand Bars to service our wedding at Old Wide Awake Plantation. Before the wedding, Tom was incredibly flexible as we worked with a local distributor to have our favorite local beer (Ships Wheel Cider) available.
Once wedding day came, we had a cocktail hour with a satellite bar leading to our reception where there was a more official bar. The transition was seamless, the bartenders were on point, and all the drinks were fantastic!
My wife and I are so thankful for Brand Bars for being on top of their game for our wedding and celebrating a wonderful day with us!
Where do I even begin? From my first phone call with Jayme, she was an absolute dream to work with! No matter when I texted or called, she always promptly replied with her best advice and guidance. I truly couldn't have planned our dream Charleston wedding (from Texas no less) without her! Her patience, communication, excitement, and willingness to go above and beyond are unmatched! I am a very detail oriented person, and the day of, she and Kendall had everything so seamlessly executed and planned that I didn't even have to bat an eye! I highly recommend Brand Bars and Events for your big day, because they will do everything to make sure it is nothing short of amazing! We love you, Jayme!
2 for 1 perfection. We booked Brand Bars and Events for both wedding planning and bar services. From day 1, both Tom and Jayme were highly responsive, professional, and genuinely excited about making our day spectacular. For wedding planning, Jayme expertly navigated us through vendor coordination, timeline development, and all the small details along the way while still allowing us to have control over the handful of items (church pews!) that were most important to us. The bar services were equally wonderful, with a wide range of reasonably-priced bar packages that fit our needs, plus friendly bartenders to make our guests feel welcome.
Highly recommend booking with Brand - zero regrets!
Couldn't be happier with Brand Bars for my wedding. My guests were kept happy and I always had a drink in my hand! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a bar vendor.
Brand Bar and Events did an awesome job at our outdoor wedding. The setup and service was top notch! We highly recommend.
We attended a wedding a few years ago that hired Tom to provide bartending services and we immediately knew we wanted to go with Tom when it was time to find a bar for our wedding. Throughout the whole process he was incredibly helpful and was flexible to meet our needs. He provided advice on drinks, glassware and communicated well with our wedding planner to ensure everything went well. The communication was impressive as Tom always got back to us so quickly and was always happy to answer any questions we had. On our wedding day the bar ran seamlessly and the bartenders worked quickly so there was never a long line to get drinks. They were also very flexible with us throughout the day with moving bars from cocktail hour to the reception area. The signature cocktail was a hit and everyone was raving about the drinks they had. Thank you Tom for making everything so easy for us and for an amazing job!
I found Brand Bars through the Knot, and I am so glad I did. From the initial phone call, I knew I wanted to hire them. Tom was very easy to talk to, and really took the time to answer all my questions and give honest insight. They are professional, timely, and affordable! Although they had to travel a couple of hours for our wedding, I found the travel fee to be affordable. They are more affordable than any other bar company in my area, even with the travel fee. Everyone loved the bar and had a great time. We chose the full bar package, and it was a success! Thank you Tom & Jayme for everything!
Tom was the best to work with! He and his team took such good care of us all night as the couple. He was very responsive and helpful through out the process. You will not find a better price in bar service. We also booked them for the planning service as well and got an awesome multi package discount. Best decision I made was booking with Brand!
So easy to work with. Provided great service, great drinks. We loved our specialty drinks and very reasonable prices compared to other Charleston bar services, without compromising quality. Do yourself a favor and just hire them!!!
Tom and his crew are AMAZING! All the bartenders are so friendly, pricing is fair, Tom is so accommodating and quick to respond! I cannot say enough good things about Brand Bars & Events. They are truly a pleasure to work with and having them there made my day that much more special!
Brandbars and events was AWESOME. Highly recommend them. I had been working with them for two years due to COVID postponing our first date and they were so quickly to accommodate us. Any questions we had, Thomas answered them right away and they had the best crew at our wedding. Thomas gave us wonderful recommendations, especially the Charleston local IPA. BrandBars was the best!
I met Jayme and Tom when we were touring the venue and they were setting up for a wedding that day. I am so thankful they were there that day. Tom was so helpful when we had to make decisions on what to serve. The bartenders were wonderful. Very personable and very efficient. There was never a line at the bar. Everything went so smoothly. Would absolutely hire Brand Events again!
When you go to weddings and they have an open bar - you expect a line, watered down drink, and luke warm wine. Not with Brand Bars and Event - not only were the drinks incredible, refreshing, and a tasty time - they were also prompt and had great customer service.
We felt like they really listened to exactly what we wanted and kept our guests happy as well as the parents.
If I could give them 10 stars - I would.
Tom was great to work with for our bar needs! He was flexible, helpful, and very open. He worked with us on our budget and what we envisioned for our big day. My husband and I would highly recommend his services!
We hired Brand Bars for our wedding last week. I was so impressed by how professional Tom and team were. They setup a beautiful oak wood bar and they offered wonderful service at a reasonable price. Can't say enough about them.
Amazing service and great selection! Tom and team worked with us on a more customized menu for our brunch wedding and everything went off without a hitch! Thank you for everything!
Tom and his team were fantastic! They were prepared and so sweet to our guests! My husband made the bar we used for the reception and he was so impressed with it he bought it on the spot! A memory that we will never forget!!
Brand Bars and Events is amazing!!! Tom and Jayme are the best team and made our wedding absolutely perfect! They both listened to everything we wanted and set up the perfect bar! Tom was so helpful on knowing what drinks to serve and giving us the best service for our money! Would absolutely recommend them!!
Tom's the man! Coming up on our 3 year anniversary and we continue to recommend Brand Bars and Events to everyone we hear of getting married in the low country. And will keep doing so! From helping us pick the perfect package, waiting for us at the end of the aisle with our favorite drinks - and keeping them coming throughout the night - to helping us think through our bar placement and flow so guests never experienced a line, Tom took care of everything we could have hoped for and more. He even had an ice cold bottle of water waiting for us in the limo. Incredibly fun and on point guy. Highly recommend!!
Brand Bars is a very high quality service! Jayme and Tom have a variety of options that fit many different tastes and budgets, but they are also willing to work with you if you have a specific vision for your big day! We are very grateful for their help on our wedding day. They are very organized, clean, pay attention to detail but above all are very friendly and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend!
Tom and his team did an amazing job providing the bar for our wedding! Could not be nicer to work with and SO accommodating.. can’t recommend enough!!
We hired Brand Bars and Events for our bar service as well as our wedding coordination, and they exceeded our expectations. Our initial contact was with Tom, who from the start was friendly and quick to respond to our emails. After answering all of our (many) questions, we decided to go with a mixer only package. Even though we chose to provide our own alcohol, Tom worked with us to create 3 delicious signature cocktails. The cocktails were definitely a hit with our guests! In fact, I think we had so much beer and wine left over because most people just kept drinking the cocktails.
Through Tom we hired Jayme to provide month-of wedding coordination. Jayme, however, stepped up long before the month of. Jayme was there to answer any questions and provide vendor recommendations (which was especially helpful since we don't live in the Charleston area). The month of the wedding, when we really started to feel the pressure, Jayme was there to provide encouragement, check in with vendors, and assure us that everything was on track.
On our wedding day, both Tom and Jayme were there to make sure everything ran smoothly. Jayme arrived at 9am ready to meet our vendors and set up our reception area. She was the one who placed all our decorative items, communicated with the vendors, and made sure we were running on schedule. Jayme also stayed after the reception until everything was cleaned and packed up for us. I really don't know what we would've done without her!
I also can't go without mentioning the two wonderful bartenders who made sure the drinks were flowing. They were both friendly and knowledgeable (they learned our beer and wine lists ahead of time so they were able to answer guests' questions). They were also so fun and I could tell our guests enjoyed chatting with them at the bar.
All that to say, you're in great hands if you choose Brand Bars and Events. Jayme and Tom were invaluable on our wedding day and we're so glad we chose them!
