Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Busted Saddle is a bartending service based in Havertown, PA. Established in May 2022, they love mixing things up and helping clients turn weddings and other special occasions into unforgettable party experiences.
Let us raise the "BAR" for your most MEMORIABLE events!
Owner Tina Johnson has over 20+ years of industry experience. She loves meeting new people and helping them celebrate life’s most precious moments, so when she saw a rusted and busted 1966 horse trailer for sale, Tina recognized an opportunity to go into business for herself, and she took it! 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!
The Knot independently assesses vendors for this award—it’s never self-reported. We base it on firsthand experiences from real couples and guests, and they must have a 4.5-star average across 7+ reviews in the qualifying year.

Owner
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

Hiring Busted Saddle to be part of my daughter's "Brunch with the Bride" bridal shower, was a A+ decision and allocation of budget. Christine hosted a mimosa bar that really eleva...
ted the event, made my hosting so much easier, and gave all 65 guests smiles.
The booking process was easy. Day of everything ran so smoothly. Christine was personable and organized. The bar setup and decor were perfect.
The variety of mimosas added a fun twist to our celebration, so were the fresh fruit garnishes. Fruit infused water was a nice touch for those who didn't want either a mimosa or a mocktail mimosa.
I look forward to using Busted Saddle again for future events. Thanks, Christine!
