Hi, I’m Julia - the founder of Saddleback Bar Services. I started this business in 2023 to combine my love for bartending with my passion for bringing people together. For me, a great bar is more than just drinks - it’s about creating moments, sparking conversations, and adding an unforgettable touch to your celebration.
As a UVM graduate and proud Vermonter of 12 years, I understand the charm and spirit that make events here so special. I work closely with every couple, family, and client to provide seamless, stress-free bar service tailored to their day. From classic cocktails to custom creations, I love crafting drinks that reflect your taste, personality, and story.
At Saddleback, my goal is simple: five-star service, delicious cocktails, and memories you’ll savor long after the last toast.

We hired Saddleback for our October wedding in Burke VT. From the get-go, Julia was very communicative and transparent about the packages and pricing. Anytime we had questions, she was very responsive on email and during our planning phone calls. She was very flexible, allowing us to use our own custom glasses which added a nice personal touch to the day. The trailer has such a fun look and gives you a lot of flexibility by not taking up space within the venue. She and her team were amazing day-of, keeping our guests’ hands full of refreshing drinks. They even went above and beyond by cutting the sleeves off my wife’s dress so she could dance more freely. I heard zero complaints from our guests and could not recommend Saddleback more!

Julia and her team are fantastic! We hired them for our September 2025 wedding. Julia was easy to communicate with, happily accommodated all of our requests, and worked with us to create signature drinks for our wedding, which the guests loved! Drinks are served out of a renovated horse trailer, which was really cute and adds a fun element to the bar. We enjoyed working with her and would recommend her bar service!

Julia and her entire team were absolutely incredible to work with. They were so kind, professional, and attentive from start to finish. Julia even went out of her way to track down one of our favorite drinks that wasn’t included in the package, which meant so much to us. She also met with us the day before the event to review last-minute details and ensure everything would be perfect.
Our signature drinks were a huge hit—our guests couldn’t stop raving about them! We never once had to go up to the bar (though it was beautiful and so well done) because we had our own personal bartender checking in to make sure we always had a fresh drink in hand.
All of our guests were so impressed with Julia and her team, and we truly cannot recommend Saddleback enough. If you’re considering them for your event, don’t hesitate—you will not regret it!

I wish I could jam extra stars into this review! Saddleback Bar Services was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. Julia was responsive via email and helped meet all out questions and concerns. She shared with us her entire list of options from her distributor to ease our selection process of drinks, and when some of our preferences were not available she made great suggestions of local beers / mixers that we grew to love as well! Julia did a great job fitting her beautiful outdoor trailer into our Cocktail Hour garden (no easy feat) and her set up was beautifully organized. She was very time efficient as well when it came to relocating to an indoor bar after the outdoor cocktail hour. She served up our wedding of 72 guests total with such grace! No one ever waited for very long for their drinks, and everyone raved about her cocktails. She also mastered our signature cocktails and had everyone sharing compliments on our selections. We honestly received rave reviews of Julia all night long and I believe for the most part she handled everything solo! The cherry on top was she also stayed way past closing time and helped us clean up our glassware, which was very much not something she was expected or required to do, to help make me and my new hubby's night and next-day cleanup less painful. Julia was a true pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough! If you're thinking about hiring her, rest assured you will be in GREAT hands with Saddleback Bar Services. Thank you again, Julia for your incredible help in making this our dream wedding!

Saddleback Bar Services was absolutely incredible! My partner and I are admittedly big craft beer lovers, so having quality beverages was really important to us. Julia and her team went above and beyond to make our craft beer dreams come true - they even managed to get a keg of my all time favorite beer, which was a wonderful surprise! Her self-designed signage skills and adorable horse trailer were a total hit amongst our guests.
They also went above and beyond to help the wedding run smoothly. We lost power at our venue and Julia was resourceful in providing some electrical support to keep the wedding going.
We are so grateful for her helping spirit, commitment to quality service, and positive, bubbly attitude. Thank you for everything!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Julia from Saddleback Bar Services for my wedding, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Julia was incredibly professional, yet warm and friendly, making all of our guests feel welcome and taken care of. She even had champagne glasses waiting for us right after our ceremony! It was such a special touch. Her cocktail-making skills were top-notch, and she effortlessly kept up with the demands of a busy bar while creating the most delicious drinks. She handled everything with grace, from setup to breakdown, and kept the night running smoothly. Julia truly elevated our wedding with her exceptional service and personal touch—she’s simply the best!

Where do I begin? We felt so taken care of from the start of the planning through our wedding night. Julia took our vision for our custom cocktails and beautifully recreated, garnished and served them with flair. She has built this company from the ground up and it’s been exciting to see her grow with it. Julia and her team felt like they were a part of our family on one of the biggest days of our lives and anyone would be lucky to welcome them into theirs.
The mobile bar cart is extremely charming, rustic, niche and was able to easily serve our 125 person wedding. We would hire Saddleback again in a heartbeat. If you want to feel taken care of, not have to think or worry about your bar services on the day, give your guests a memorable experience, delivered by a highly experienced and personable team, then you should too. Thanks Saddleback!

Where do we begin?! Julia and the Saddleback team are AMAZING!! From the moment we sat down with Julia, we knew we met our match. She’s incredibly detail oriented, from her initial discovery of understanding our needs, right down to the signature cocktails (which our guests can’t stop raving about —Raspberry Whiskey Sours & Blackberry Margaritas). The refurbished horse trailer is absolutely adorable, and was a true highlight of our farm wedding. We’re looking forward to working with Saddleback for other projects too! We can’t wait!!

We recently had Saddleback cater our wedding in northern VT. Julia and her staff were fantastic. Accommodating, friendly, enthusiastic, and punctual. Julia even used calligraphy talents to create a hand written sign detailing all drink options for our guests. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!
