Carrie and Spirit, the amazing beer serving donkeys, were a hit! We booked them as a surprise for our wedding guest and bridal party to help make cocktail hour fun, since we were taking photos, and to just see the smiles on everyone's face. Pau...

la and Ronda, their human handlers, were amazing to work with as they allowed guest to take photos with Carrie and Spirit and did a wonderful job serving everyone. I’m so thankful we were able to book them for our special day and that we could host them at our venue. If you are looking for a fun way to spice up cocktail hour, I highly recommend Ears with Beers! They were a fan favorite and will make your day memorable for you and your guest for years to come!

nd the pics we saw from our friends of them posing with the little guys! Guests loved them and it was so fun and cute for them. Huge conversation topic during our Sunday brunch! Paula and Delaney were very sweet and thoughtful - they brought the donkeys to us when we were taking pictures with our photographer at the perfect time and were just a delight! Small example of the thougtfulness and professionalism of this team - these donkeys were squeaky clean!! I'm a horse owner, so I know when you pet a horse or donkey you usually end up with pretty dirty hands - not a good feeling while at an event. I was shocked how clean they were and it definitely was a lovely surprise to know that my guests had clean hands while all dressed up :) May seem silly but it was really nice of the Paula & Delaney to make sure they were super clean. Also these donkeys are so sweet. You'll want to take them home with you!

aney and Paula were the sweetest and their burros - Carrie & Spirit emulated that too. I almost cried taking a few minutes with them because they were so cute and wonderful. They made time for the guests to take pictures and then specifically set time aside for us, the couple, to spend time with them away from the chaos of cocktail hour. Our guests LOVED them and it was a very Hill Country/Texas addition, which added a unique twist since most of our guests were from out of town. I could go on as to how amazing these women and burros are! All to say is, whatever you do, you need to hire Ears With Beers.

Response from the Vendor on 09/26/2021

responsive. Given the current condition we're in with the global pandemic, my husband and I were so grateful that she was still willing to help make our day memorable with her 2 donkeys, Carrie and Spirit. They were a surprise for our guests and what a surprise it was! Our guests LOVED the donkeys and taking photos with them. Our thirsty crowd loved getting drinks from these 2 the most and it really helps entertain your crowd during a cocktail hour and something really special to look back on at photos. We suggest hiring Ears with Beers to help separate your wedding from the other because this is something we had never heard of before and thought it was so cool! Definitely something we enjoyed and loved interacting with the donkeys as well as Paula on our wedding day. Help make your wedding day a special and memorable one and help support small businesses in Texas!
