We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding at Free Spirit Bar and Lounge, and I can truly say it was nothing short of magical. From the very first tour, we were blown away by th...
e beauty of the venue, as well as the professionalism, vision, and genuine care shown by the entire team. The setting was picture-perfect, and looking back at the photos now, the whole day feels like a fairytale.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Free Spirits Event Co. for our wedding! From start to finish, Ashleigh and Jess were absolutely fantastic to work with - the...
y were incredibly organized, thorough, professional and genuinely lovely throughout the entire process.
They took the time to walk us through all of our options and helped us settle on the perfect mobile bar setup for our celebration. What really impressed us was their expertise in helping us calculate exactly how much alcohol to purchase based on our guests, the specialty cocktails we wanted to serve, number of people, and the overall vibe we were going for at our wedding. This guidance was invaluable and saved us both funds and stress for an open bar.
On the day of our wedding, the Free Spirits staff was absolutely wonderful - kind, helpful, and incredibly accommodating. They even let us have a fun photo opportunity behind the bar, which made for some great memories!
The level of professionalism and care they provided exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t say enough great things about Free Spirits and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for mobile bar services. They truly helped make our special day perfect!
We cannot say enough about how amazing Ashleigh and Andrew are. If we could give them 10 stars, we would! We recently celebrated our wedding at Wolfsburg Farm in Holderness, New Ha...
mpshire and it was a dream come true. From the stunning location and the very stylish mobile bar to the above-and-beyond event coordination and every single vendor recommendation... we could not have pulled it off without Ashleigh and Andrew.
The logistics for our wedding certainly weren't simple. We live in Virginia, and while we're familiar with the area, a majority of our guests aren't and traveled a good distance to get there. The ceremony itself took place on Chocorua Island (in the middle of Squam Lake), and we needed boats, a party bus, and a trolley to get every single one of our guests where they needed to go. With little to no service in the area... it was no easy task. But Ashleigh and Andrew pulled it off seamlessly.
Even when something went wrong (and with weddings, there's always something), they almost immediately had a solution. A few examples... Ashleigh picked up our rehearsal dinner for us when we were all pressed for time decorating the house and getting ready. Andrew, Ashleigh, and her mom picked flowers and greens from her mom's garden and the woods for us when we ran out of flowers to fill our planters. And Ashleigh ran back to our house to get my second dress for me – in the middle of the busy reception – when it was forgotten. Again, those are just a FEW examples of how amazing they are.
At first, we weren't sure if we wanted to go with a wedding planner or a day-of coordinator – and I'm SO happy we went with the former. We held monthly meetings for about a year, but we continued talking and checking in with each other between each meeting, and then held more meetings the closer the wedding got. Ashleigh helped with decor ideas, vendor recommendations (which were all incredible – she knows her stuff), budgeting, bar menus, vendor communication, and more. Ashleigh was instrumental to our millions of ideas coming together, and she eased every single one of our worries (truly, every time we chatted, I felt much better about something I had been stressing about).
Not only are Ashleigh and Andrew two of the nicest, coolest people we've ever met, but they are innovative, professional, and you can trust they'll do everything in their power to give make your vision come to life. We would recommend Free Spirits Events, over and over again, for any event you're planning – whether that be a wedding, birthday party, business event, retreat, etc. (We're already trying to think of the next time we can use them!)
Free Spirits brought our visions to life and exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding day! From the moment we discovered them, we knew we were in great hands. Working with ...
Ashleigh made our planning a breeze, and every detail reflected our aesthetic with special touches that went above and beyond!! We felt relaxed and entrusted Ashleigh with our wedding planning, and dare we even say it was beyond fun too! The wedding day still brings me to tears when reliving all the special moments. Ashleigh and her team have become like family to us. We would recommend Free Spirits for any type of event, especially a wedding! We will never be able to find the right words to express how much working with you meant to us!
Ashleigh and Andrew are fantastic. We hired them for our wedding weekend. They came onsite day one and couldn’t be more excited to be there. The more impressive part was they were ...
still excited to be there on day three.
When we started the search for bartenders, my wife and I were overwhelmed by choices. We had meetings with a couple bartenders and felt they weren’t very transparent about price. We had a meeting with Free Spirits and we loved their energy, they were transparent about price and they work closely with our caterers.
The lead up to the wedding was stressful, we were bringing in our own alcohol and had no idea on what to order. They provided a great deal of guidance on quantities and were responsive with every question we had.
The weekend! They showed up ready to go and our guests loved them. My Father-in-Law asked them to stay an extra hour on the first night and they happily agreed. The Wedding day they were well prepared and made our guests feel special. They made quality drinks, but quickly, ensuring no one had to wait long for a drink. In a spare moment they found my wife out on the dance floor and delivered her favorite drink without anyone asking. Our third day might have been the most impressive they took inventory or what we had left and decided to make some special cocktails based on what we had left. They ran them by us and people could not stop talking about their blood orange Prosecco and tequila drink, but Andrew’s Bloody Mary truly stole the show.
To end, I could not imagine a better weekend and it because of the great work Free Spirits did to make the weekend perfect!
We found Ashleigh and Free Spirits while researching for mobile bars. We were attracted to the business name, giving off a more relaxed and chill vibe than traditional planners tha...
t come with the wedding tag. We are so happy that we found her and her team for the bar because after our first meeting we didn’t hesitate to hire her for coordinating too. Ashleigh felt like someone we had known for years from the beginning and she made our extended planning time seamless and stress free. When the big day came, from someone who struggles with anxiety, I can confidently say I didn’t have a worry in the world because Ashleigh and Free Spirits were beyond exceptional. Every detail was considered and every contingency planned for. Our wedding day was an absolute vibe and we owe this to the incredible team we had and Ashleigh was at the top of this list making sure everyone was on the same page. On top of all the planning, Free Spirits absolutely nailed the bar and drinks, which included a plethora of custom cocktails. We’d also like to shout out her husband Andrew for the incredible driftwood arch he created onsite for our ceremony and agreeing and executing an extravagant open air lighting design. Having an idea and vision is one thing, executing is another and Free Spirits absolutely crushes. If you are looking to sit back and relax with wedding planning ….stop looking because you won’t find a coordinating team with a better vibe and ability to deliver than this one.
Start to finish… working with Ashleigh and her team was seamless. Everyone was so impressed with the service from cocktail hour set up to the bus set up! The VW bus added the perfe...
ct aesthetic and vibe we were looking for as well. I wish I had another event to experience this and working with them again! Would HIGHLY recommend. True professionals and high quality service. My husbands family works in the liquor/wine sales industry and they were highly impressed with the quote and estimation of products needed and service!
Ashleigh was an absolute dream to work with! She was not only incredibly organized, resourceful, and creative, but throughout the planning process and on our wedding day we never h...
ad a worry as she was a calm and collected presence. Ashleigh was prepared with an outline of items to address and ensure everything was arranged. Knowing that we could not only trust in Ashleigh to support the coordination day-of, she was also undeniably helpful in selecting vendors based on her experience and helping to review contracts to ensure everything was appropriately addressed. We truly loved working with Ashleigh and are so happy that we had the opportunity to lean on her network, experience, and easy going support.
Free Spirits was our favorite vendor at our wedding!! Ashleigh and team were so easy to work with, and the VW Bus was the best addition to our wedding look (literally SO pretty!!)!...
I appreciated Ashleigh's responsiveness, attention to detail, and overall energy so much. Even with the weather up in their air for an outdoor wedding, the team was flexible and positive, and most importantly, made our vision come to life. BIG thank you to Free Spirits for all of their hard work and smiles during our big day!
Free Spirits' Gypsea mobile bar was the PERFECT addition to our wedding day! My husband and I love VW vans (we drove around in one the day of our engagement), so having one present...
for our wedding was a fun callback to that moment for us. Ashleigh at Free Spirits was so responsive, even with us reaching out VERY early for our wedding. Our venue had some specific guidelines around the serving of alcohol on the grounds and Free Spirits worked with our coordinator to figure out a way for us to have the bar within their parameters. Leading up we had concerns about the weather (Hurricane Lee). Ashleigh and her husband met us on-site at our venue a few weeks prior to talk through alternate plans and brainstorm solutions just in case. Luckily we didn't need to change a thing, but their dedication to making sure we had options took a lot of stress off our plates. It was such a hit and produced some of our favorite photos from the day (including the one we decided to use on our thank you cards). Our guests thought it was such a fun touch and some have even asked me for their info for their own upcoming weddings. If you're looking to bring a unique touch to your wedding day, these are your people!
We used Free Spirits Event Planning for our wedding in September and couldn’t be happier with our decision. The wedding day was perfect and everything we could’ve wanted and more. ...
Planning up until the day of the wedding was simple and seamless with this team. Everyone worked together to make sure our day was a dream. Their response time was timely and they were a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. We couldn’t recommend them more!
Working with Ashleigh was by far the best decision we made during our entire wedding journey. We worked with her as a planner for our wedding at Hardy Farms. She went above and bey...
ond every step of the way to help make our visions come to life. She is the perfect balance of hard-working, creative and organized. We also used several of her rentals which completed the look for our theme. She really is the one-stop shop for everything you need to have a smooth and carefree wedding/event. If you are reading reviews to consider using any of her services, you don’t need to look any further. Book her right away and you will not regret it!
I often think that had it not been for Ashleigh, dressed in all black on the night of our wedding, we would have spent the entire evening at our cocktail hour. With so much left to...
unfold — from food trucks, to speeches, fire pits and an after party — she seamlessly orchestrated the entire night’s events.
Our wedding was an experience — it felt more like a festival than a traditional wedding. There was no assigned seating or four course meal. It was unique and casual, with a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces for our guests to explore and enjoy. But it was also highly choreographed and meticulously planned. It was literally the wedding of our dreams — made possible only through the tireless craft, style and imagination of Ashleigh.
From the moment we’d spoken to Ashleigh eleven months prior, we knew that she immediately understood our only semi-coherent vision. What we didn’t know is how hard she’d work, how many late nights she’d spend with us on the phone from the opposite coast, and how open she’d be to our somewhat ridiculous requests — to make that vision a reality.
Ashleigh is a one-stop shop, wonder woman of a wedding planner — our entire wedding was outfit with her personal inventory of couches, rugs, and other decor. Her incredible VW bus, remodeled as an outdoor bar, was a centerpiece. She designed all of our signage. She built custom displays. She staffed the entire event. She sourced and managed every one of our vendors, from furniture to flowers, lighting, makeup, coffee, and music. She scoured all of New England to find the perfect five food trucks, including a charcuterie truck for happy hour. “Wedding planner” does not adequately describe what she does. She is a wedding ferry god mother.
If this were an Amazon review, we’d give Ashleigh 35 stars. We’d give her a Rotten Tomatoes score of 600% — she is legit certified fresh.
I am so glad we used Free Spirits Mobile Bar for our wedding. They were so easy to work with and helped to accommodate anything we needed! We had a backyard wedding and weren’t sur...
e how to go about hiring a bar service. We reached out to Ashleigh and she helped us with everything! Any questions I had were promptly answered. It was a huge stress reliever working with this team because we knew things were going to be done right. The bar was a huge hit with guests! I loved working with them and would recommend them to anyone who asks!
Gypsea was an absolute hit at our wedding! So many of our family and friends were taking pictures in front of this sweet VW Bus bar. Not only did the bar itself add to the decor of...
our wedding, but Ashleigh and the entire team at Free Spirits Event Co. made the process of planning and implementing our cocktail hour and the drinks at our wedding super easy and fun.!We were able to stock the bar with the drinks of our choosing, and the service was amazing! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Free Spirits!

leigh worked with us to help with quantities, coordinating, and making sure we didn’t lift a finger on our special day. All of our guests commented on how fun and excellent the bartending service was and they kept the party going all night. If you are looking for a bartending service to go above and beyond at your special event, Free Sprits is the way to go.
Highly recommend! What a great process from beginning to end everyone was so helpful and kind. Our guests loved the van and were talking about it all night long. Thank you for all ...
you did for us to make our day special!
5 stars isn't enough!! Having Free Spirits Mobile Bar a part of our wedding day was the best decision we made out of all of our vendors. Ashleigh and Andrew were professional, fun,...
and exceeded all of our expectations. They were flexible, accommodating and provided over the top service. We had a hiccup with an outside vendor (not Free Spirits) forgetting a few things and Andrew did not hesitate to run out during set up to grab the missing items. These are the type of people you need on your wedding day! Every detail was perfect and our guests are still talking about how amazing the Mobile Bar was.
Ashleigh and Lana made all our dreams come true in 7 weeks flat (thanks to the pandemic keeping us in the states, but our date not being shiftable). They thought of every little de...
tail, even though we didn’t even have time to think! They also connected us to their amazing network of only the most amazing people for our other vendors. 1000/10 would work with them again!!!! In fact, my husband keeps saying “the next time we get married…” because he had so much fun that he wants to do it again… and we will certainly call Ashleigh first.
Ashleigh and Lana were a gift from heaven! I found them (by referral from my venue) only 7 weeks before our wedding and all we had was a venue, photographer, caterer, and DJ. We h...
ad just canceled our wedding overseas and fired a planner who was picking fights with my now husband. Needless to say I was a mess. They came in and just made miracles happen! And with the best attitude. Honestly I miss talking to them almost every day. They made our dreams come true and became true friends in the process. You’d be insane to book anyone else. Our big day was perfect and looked like we were planning it for years.
Where do i even begin…. This is a long overdue review so buckle up! When our destination wedding plans fell through due to covid we had to start from scratch just 6 months out. We ...
found Ashleigh and free spirits from a mutual friend and I was OBSESSED with her mobile bar, so we reached out to her to see if she could work with us in our family’s backyard. After two seconds of talking with her, I knew we were in good hands. We immediately booked her- and right as we did found our dream venue through her Instagram page. Since it was an À la cart venue, we needed a wedding planner. Ashleigh offered her services and it was the best decision we made outside of marrying each other. She is the kindest, most professional, calm and collected yet on top of e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g, and let me tell you- she knows how to help throw a freaking PARTY. She is THE person you need to hire for any event. She helped find our caterers, venue, transportation, lights, and DJ, made sure to think of the things I didn’t even know I needed to, kept everyone organized and on time day of, made sure I was always taken care of and had what i needed, plus, she makes amazing drinks :) you will notttt regret hiring Ash!
Free Spirits was the first vendor we booked for our fall 2021 wedding. We got so excited to have them and they did not disappoint! Their drink selection is impressive and the speci...
ality cocktails are delicious. Two weeks before the wedding they learned we did not have a wedding planner and Ashleigh offered up her wedding planning services. I wish we had hired her sooner to plan more of the wedding, but her day of coordination services were excellent and made our day run so smoothly.
Probably the best decision I made pertaining to my venders!! Ashleigh and Andrew are absolutely amazing! So easy to work with, always answering my calls and questions. Perhaps the...
reason they were such a delight to work with was because they were flexible, supplied a wealth of knowledge and were so fun loving! Absolutely recommend for any wedding or event!
Free Spirits was absolutely amazing. They exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend them for any of your events. I will definitely hire them again. Also, the VW bus/bar...
was gorgeous.
After rescheduling our wedding for a 3rd time because of COVID we had to switch gears and do a backyard tented wedding. Free Spirits with limited time helped us pivot with all the bar and service planning. When we met for consultation they put both myself and now husband to ease. We had half a foot of snow the day before and cold temperatures. They battled that and COVID precautions and were so attentive.
I would highly suggest having Ashleigh do day of coordination. She was a lifesaver and made the day special.
All my family and friends were so impressed and can’t wait to hire them for upcoming events.
Coolest and best bar service ever! From start to finish, Ashleigh was incredible! She’s responsive and sweet and had great ideas. She created the perfect little menu for us and eve...
n had hot apple cider for our wedding that we never discussed and it was the PERFECT touch!!! After the ceremony she came to find us with our drink of choice! They also have beautiful rentals! Highly recommend !
