If you’re looking for espresso for your wedding or event, book Espresso Dave! My husband’s family is Italian and I worked as a barista so you could call us both a bit of espresso snobs - so I was on a mission to find the best in the area. Dave delivered! His team worked with our bar to make espresso martinis at the end of the night and everyone keeps talking about them! It was a hit. Thanks so much for being a part of our day!

I highly recommend you hire Espresso Dave's for your wedding! We had an espresso cart at our 6/1/24 wedding and our guests LOVED it! They even bulk-batched espresso for our bartenders to use for espresso martinis (a huge hit with our guests). We are so glad we had Espresso Dave's there on our big day!

Espresso Dave and his staff were totally stars! Dave was prompt with communication, pricing was reasonable, and our guests lost their MINDS over the coffee cart! We had some non-drinkers who appreciated the gesture, people who had a pick-me-up before they drove home, and guests that wanted (and had!) their lattes with a little extra booze from the bar. Espresso Dave and his services were a grand slam on our wedding day :-)

ESPRESSO DAVE! Dave was the second vendor we booked after securing our date with the venue. My dream was to have a morning wedding, and I reached out to Dave thinking it was a longshot since we are in RI and he is in NH. He emailed back almost immediately and he said, in short- "I got this."
And he did!!! Everything from logistics, parking, setup, electricity, even permits- Dave had it all covered. He was even kind enough to let us ship personalized labels for our coffee cups to his house and they were all on the cups on the morning of. An espresso cart (and donut holes from our local donut shop PVDonuts) was such a unique touch to our morning ceremony, and we received so many compliments about the idea.
In short, Dave is professional, kind, easy going, and fun. Would recommend for any event!!

My husband and I got married this past May at Mirbeau Inn & Spa in Plymouth, MA and had Espresso Dave come to our wedding. We absolutely loved the lattes and cappuccinos. All of our guests did too and were completely blown away by the incredible pictures that sat on top of the drinks and melted into the foam. One picture was of our Basset Hound, Beau. and the other picture said The Magda's. This is something so different I had never seen before at a wedding and would highly recommend Espresso Dave at your event to add an extra special unique touch!

I can't say enough amazing things about Espresso Dave himself and his service. We used Espresso Dave for our wedding in VT. It was such an easy and seamless process coordinating with Dave and him answering our many questions. The guests were thrilled with the unique experience and many gushing about how many different, delicious drinks they tried. Dave was also able to provide espresso to the bar for espresso martinis and our guests loved them! I cannot recommend Espresso Dave enough to create a fun, unique and delicious experience!

We have received SO many compliments about having the Espresso Dave cart at our wedding. Guests thought it was the most fun surprise and something they had never seen before! And the caffeine kept our party going into the after party! Planning with Dave was such a breeze. He is wonderful! The attendant was so friendly and helpful. I would hire them again for any party I am hosting!
We hired Espresso Dave to provide post-dinner caffeine at our wedding reception, and it was an excellent choice. He was a very popular addition to the evening, providing a little pick-me-up as people were hitting the dance floor. The barista was super nice, and his drinks delicious—offering flavor additions such as maple which we heard rave reviews about from multiple people. Thanks Espresso Dave!
Dave and his team are unmatched! If you have an espresso drinking crowd- you do not need to look any further - book Dave and his espresso cart! If you are looking for something unique add his drink toppers for a fun surprise to guests, they were SO cool and took our monogram throughout the entire event!
We hired Espresso Dave for our wedding— it was fantastic!! He was professional, prompt in all communication, flexible, and went the extra mile to make our wedding day PERFECT. And not to mention our guests couldn’t stop raving about the espresso!! I’d do it the same exact way all over again, thank you so much.
All the best,
The Graues
Was so excited to have this at our wedding as I had heard so many good things! Dave and team were supposed to arrive at 8am to set up for the 9am event - as of 8:45 I heard nothing despite multiple calls and emails. At 9:15, I got an email no one was coming. I completely understand things happen, especially with COVID, but very disappointed no one event called or emailed until after the event began.

The coffee cart was such a hit at our wedding and something that most guests haven't seen before! Espresso Dave was also extremely easy to work with. Don't hesitate to book, just do it!
Espresso Dave was a hit at our wedding and, not to mention, he was such a pleasure to work with. Me (the bride) had experienced Dave coming to my company's corporate location and I was so excited that he could work our wedding!
Though we personally weren't able to enjoy the espresso (too much dancing), our guests were raving about the "specialness" of having an on-site espresso cart and they also mentioned how friendly and kind Dave was. We even had a few of our guests (over 21 of course) have Dave mix in a few fixings into their cocktails. 11/10 would recommend Espresso Dave for your next event!
Espresso Dave was a huge hit at our wedding at Zorvino Vineyards! Our guests kept coming up to us to rave about what a great idea it was, and how fantastic the drinks were - his frozen macchiatos in particular were a big hit! It was also a nice way to offer a little something extra for all of our guests, from pre-teens to older family members who don't do after-dinner drinks anymore. The value was incredible too. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun twist at their wedding!
We hired Espresso Dave for our wedding and it was a HUGE hit!! All of the guests loved it. Dave was super responsive to my emails and made everything so easy. I would definitely recommend hiring Dave.
We used Espresso Dave for our wedding in September at Belle Mer in Rhode Island and it was a great addition! We had espresso, cappuccinos and lattes and added a heart in the foam of these drinks which was a great touch. All of our guests loved the coffee and thought it was such a great idea. Espresso Dave was easy to work with and we would highly recommend!
My husband and I got married this past New Years Eve and we decided to have Espresso Dave. We were very impressed with this service. We take our coffee and espresso very seriously and because my husband is Italian it was a necessity to have espresso. We actually didn’t even think about coffee and espresso until a few days before our wedding. So a few days before our wedding we contacted Espresso Dave and they were able to accommodate us on New Years Eve!! We had them cater the Espresso for two hours during our wedding and it was great. The espresso was delicious!!! Thank you Espresso Dave!! -Mr. and Mrs. Gaglione
Espresso Dave was great to work with--always responsive and cheerful! Everyone I have spoken to loved the idea of an espresso bar at the wedding, and the drinks were delicious! I would highly recommend this company for a unique addition to your wedding!!
Espresso Dave was a fantastic vendor from the planning process to the wedding day. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with, and a hit at our wedding on June 26th! Not only did he arrive early, but even stayed a bit later than scheduled. He allowed me to have fun with the espresso bar menu, and truly went above and beyond. The guests haven't stopped talking about the espresso bar at our wedding, and Dave's frozen coffee drink! Espresso Dave is a gem in the coffee catering business, and we highly, highly recommend it!

He was the highlight of my wedding. The drinks were amazing and Dave was amazing. I highly recommend. He even helped me create a customized drink menu with adorable wedding themed names!
I've been present at a number of events where Espresso Dave's has been the highlight of the unexpected. His professional demeanor and elegant presentation will add to the beauty and delight of any affair.

You are so sweet to submit such a kind review! We're happy you've enjoyed our specialty coffee espresso bar service.
Our wedding was 12 Sep 2015 and Espresso Dave was great! He was reasonable in price, easy to work with before the big day and very self sufficient the day of. He came in and set up shop without a sound during dinner! One of my mom's friend ended up getting 4 drinks because she said they were that good. He was that extra something that made the guests say "wow!"
Dave was so easy to work with and a huge hit! Everyone loved his drinks, even die-hard espresso drinkers. It was so much fun and so affordable. I would definitely hire Espresso Dave for other events in the future!
