If I could give more than 5 stars, I certainly would! I can’t say enough great things about this really cool business. I haven’t seen anything like it! The owner has different bars to choose from and a great selection of add ons. Vintage stuff you won’t find anywhere around! We also rented the vintage ice tub, the peacock chair and had a champagne toast! The team is really friendly, detail oriented and they provided us and our guests with excellent customer service. This bar beats them all! It’s not just a bar it’s an experience!

This mobile bar is absolutely phenomenal! While we initially loved the adorable horse trailer, it didn’t quite fit in our space, so we chose their Vintage Charm bar instead, and it was perfect! Karie and her team offer such unique bar setups beyond the horse trailer, including one that lights up and the charming vintage bar we selected. We received endless compliments on everything, especially the exclusive add-ons! To match our vintage theme, we also rented the retro lounge, and it brought such a distinctive vibe to our event. We couldn't get all the add-ons due to space, but if we could, we would have had the cigar and whiskey set up for my fiance's bachelor party for sure! If you’re looking for a mobile bar with personality and style, this is it!

This is the most unique mobile bar I found in all of Virginia! Such fun vibes and the team is so personable and kind. They think of everything and no detail goes unnoticed. They asked us lots of questions (when planning) we didn't even think about like for instance setting up, but wanted to know the layout to be certain they would not disturb our ceremony. Or the rental of their hydration station. We got married on a hot summer day so they kept in mind how to keep our guests comfortable and they could self serve. We weren't sure who to hire for bar services, but the venue highly recommended Shaken Not Spurred and we couldn't be more pleased. They made sure to keep us hydrated too, because we were very busy on our wedding day and we loved trying all the signature drinks we had designed together. Don't look anywhere else when hiring your bar team. This mobile bar has got it all!

Shaken Not Spurred horse trailer mobile bar is by far the cutest trailer you will find anywhere around here. We were adimant that we did not want a white, black or pink one for our wedding shower. Karie’s trailer is uniquely different and so classy. Her style and attention to detail is spot on! She will work with you with your budget, making sure quality isn’t lacking. I can’t say enough great things about the service and style this business provided for us! If you want a mobile bar or just a bartender for your wedding, you can’t go wrong here! I wouldn’t recommend anyone other Shaken Not Spurred!

This horse trailer bar is BY FAR HANDS DOWN the cutest, coolest, chicest, vintage bar around all of Richmond! You MUST hire this business for your rehearsal dinner, bachelorette party, bridal shower or your wedding! We DID and we couldn’t be happier!! Karie is by far the sweetest joy to work with! She communicates with you from beginning to end and has some really cool add ons! We rented the Cigar and Whiskey Set Up and the guys LOVED it! We smoked our cocktails and it was super fun! She’s got other cool stuff too and like she said, you can’t find anything as cool as her stuff anywhere around! She’s courteous, prompt, very professional and her drinks are delicious! Also if you just need her to bartend your wedding, she can do that too! I recommend this business 1000% and wouldn’t have wanted any other bar at my wedding!

Communication was fantastic! The owner Karie helped us with so many things for our wedding day which included our signature drinks with our favorite mosato and the name of our drinks in honor of our pets! We are animal people and our dogs are our children. Highly recommend this business and loved the nostalgic horse trailer. The retro lounge was super cool and our guests really enjoyed the vibe! Thank you Shaken Not Spurred! Tell all your engaged friends!

Welcome to the Shaken Not Spurred Mobile Bar, I’m Karie! Located in Hanover County, VA, but my newstalgic coach will travel up to 2 hrs to your private event!
