Owner Tina Johnson has over 18 years of industry experience.

Tina restored and updated the trailer; she also acquired a beverage cart and an elegant wood-framed bar, so whether you prefer a rustic or modern setup, Busted Saddle has just what you’re looking for!
No celebration is too big or too small for Busted Saddle! Tina will create specialty cocktails or mocktails to suit your particular needs and party aesthetic. You provide the mixers, beer, liquor, and any other alcohol you desire, and Tina will take care of the rest!

Hi Everyone! My name is Tina and in 2021 I started looking into owning my own bartending service business. I have been in the bar industry 18 years + and love getting to meet and talk with different people. In January 2022 I was going through Facebook marketplace and found a 1966 rusted and busted horse trailer (see what I did there and how I came up with the name). Thankfully I have a very supportive husband and he quickly realized I had a vision and wanted to bring my dream to life! I am a mother to an amazing almost 10 year old son and two dogs! I look forward to connecting

Busted Saddle did an outstanding job at my 2024October wedding. This vendor helped calculate all of our beverage and beverage fixing items needed that we actually saved money utilizing them to help plan our event! With their expertise, you won’t be left with an obnoxious amount of product at the end of your day. All of our guests had awesome feedback about the cocktails and service that they received at our wedding. 10/10 would absolutely utilize Them again for future events!

I can’t recommend Tina and the Busted Saddle enough! I have had her at multiple work events and one of my best friend’s bridal shower. Having the Busted Saddle takes your events to the next level plus the drinks and service are absolutely amazing. I already can’t wait for our next event together!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a graduation party at my home for my son’s graduation. I highly recommend the Busted saddle for any event you need a bartender. Their set up was seamless and the staff was truly attentive to all our guest needs It was such a relief not to have to worry about that aspect of the party planning it truly exceeded my expectations. Busted saddle truly made the event memorable.

I used Busted Saddle LLC for my December 2023 wedding. Booking with them was effortless. They set up on time, bar lines moved efficiently, and their bar set up was so pretty! From start to finish, it was the best experience booking with Busted Saddle! I felt their pricing was spot on and fair as well. Highly recommend, and hoping I’ll get to use them again!

Tina went above and beyond to make my sisters shower amazing !! She was responsive, friendly, and a joy to work with . She showed her creativity by making personalized napkins and garnishes. My sister was thrilled that the bar cart made it look like we were in a completely different location than my parents backyard. I highly recommend Tina !

Tina the owner bartended my friend’s bridal shower, she made it so easy we didn’t have to lift a finger the day of. The signature drink we had were espresso martinis and they were such a hit! She even used edible toppers to elevate the drink. I would strongly recommend The Busted Saddle to elevate your party!

Tina at the busted saddle is quite literally the best! I hired her for my baby sisters weddding in July and couldn’t recommend her more. The backyard outdoor wedding was supposed to start at 4pm and we had a quick thunderstorm roll in, so Tina, went inside with everyone, got everyone’s drink order and was serving everyone until the rain stopped. All of our guests RAVED about Tina and her amazing set up! She is experienced, makes amazing drinks and will absolutely go the extra mile for you.

I got married out of the country otherwise I would have hired Busted Saddle to bartend at my wedding! Christina is THE best bartender! We had Busted Saddle to bartend at my son’s birthday party and it was the talk of town for months! She decorated her trailer with the most amazing decor to match the theme of our party. Christina helped us choose signature drinks for the party (both for adults and children) and went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service. She is engaging with guests, social, outgoing, kind and passionate about what she does. I wish I could have her come to every party to bartend!
