Dannon Byrd
Owner
Hi! I’m Dannon - Owner & Founder of Tap the Coast. I’m a proud native of the Pensacola area, a mother, passionate community volunteer and coffee lover.
I discovered the mobile bar / beverage service industry in 2018 and immediately fell in love with the business model. I searched but was unable to find anything like it in Northwest Florida and saw it as an opportunity to bring a new and exciting concept to the local scene. Added bonus: it combined my love of people and entertaining with creative, Pinterest-worthy designs. So I set out to make this dream a reality.
Our vintage camper debuted in late 2019 as the panhandle’s first mobile bar experience. Launching a business during a pandemic wasn’t exactly the plan I had in mind, but even still we made it through and can look back with gratitude for how far we’ve come. With a little luck, a great network of industry professionals, the best staff a girl could ask for, and the help of an incredible team of business mentors, Tap the Coast has quickly grown to be the largest fleet of mobile bars in North Florida.
The future of Tap the Coast includes additional rental options in a variety of styles to meet the needs of clients’ events large and small - from beaches to barns. We are also looking forward to adding services including cocktail workshops, introducing new retail products and will be expanding our service area.

Dannon and her team truly saved our wedding day! I was ghosted by my previous bar tender just 30 days out from our big day. I spoke with Dannon and immediately felt at ease. She is...

She clearly communicated what to expect on our big day, which gave us so much confidence in our choice. We are beyond excited to have Tap The Coast on our wedding team! If you have the opportunity to book an in-person tasting + menu planning, don’t hesitate, do it!

Unfortunately, our experience with Tap the Coast was very disappointing. From the beginning, there was a clear lack of communication both during the planning process and on the day...
of our event. We were left feeling unsure and frustrated by the inconsistent responses and lack of coordination.
To make matters worse, the one of the bar was taken down before the agreed-upon closing time, which caught both us and our guests off guard. This premature breakdown disrupted the flow and left several guests unhappy.
Overall, we had high hopes, but the service did not meet our expectations. I would not recommend.

I was initially excited to work with Tap the Coast for my wedding, but unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. While the event itself wasn’t a total disaster, seve...
ral issues arose that I felt needed follow-up — and I’ve been deeply disappointed by the lack of response from the team.
To start, our signature drinks were switched, so guests were served the wrong ones for the first hour of the reception. The bartender had told me these would be batched ahead of time to avoid delays, but that didn’t happen, which led to long lines throughout the evening. Additionally, drinks weren’t served during the toasts — which lasted over 30 minutes — and this was never discussed with me beforehand. To make matters worse, the bartender attempted to end service an hour early while I was still on the dance floor enjoying the reception.
After the event, I reached out multiple times via email to address these concerns, but only received one delayed reply saying they’d get back to me — and I never heard anything further. For such an important occasion, this lack of professionalism and communication is unacceptable.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Tap the Coast.

I was really looking forward to working with Tap the Coast for our wedding — we had heard great things and were excited to offer our guests a unique bar experience. Unfortunately, ...
what we actually experienced was far from what was promised, and I’ve been incredibly disappointed, not just with the service on the day of the event, but with the complete lack of follow-up afterward.
To start, the signature cocktails we carefully chose were swapped, and guests were being served the wrong drinks for the first part of the night. One of the main reasons we selected this vendor was because we were told drinks would be batched in advance to keep things flowing — that didn’t happen. Instead, there were long lines at the bar that slowed everything down and pulled guests away from the reception.
On top of that, drinks weren’t served during the toasts, which went on for over half an hour. There was never any mention that this would be the case, and it felt like a big miss, especially during such a key part of the evening. To make matters worse, the bartender tried to shut down an hour early — without warning — while we were still out on the dance floor celebrating.
I’ve reached out multiple times since the wedding to address these concerns, but aside from one vague response saying someone would follow up (which never happened), we’ve heard nothing back. For a company that markets itself as a professional wedding service, this level of communication and service is unacceptable.
As the groom, I wanted our guests to have a great experience and for the night to go off without a hitch — and unfortunately, Tap the Coast fell short. I can’t recommend them based on how our wedding was handled.

on, is the sweetest human being and was awesome every step of the way. She gave such good advice when it came to choosing drinks and buying alcohol. We chose to do signature cocktails and our guests were raving about how great the drinks were. Dannon and her team made our night so fun and executed everything we wanted for a bar so perfectly!

I had high hopes when I first contacted Taps the Coast. Everything started out great—Dannon, the owner, was incredibly kind, fun, and helpful. We were ready to book and felt confid...
ent in moving forward. However, when I reached out again to finalize details, it took a long time to get a response. After I followed up, Dannon was kind and apologized, and we set a time to meet in person. Unfortunately, the scheduled day came and went with no word from her.
Since then, I’ve emailed multiple times—especially after receiving promotional emails—but I haven’t received any responses. My wedding is one of the most important days of my life, and I approached this vendor with the hope of making it a special experience. Unfortunately, the lack of communication has left me feeling overlooked and underestimated.
I understand that people get busy and things happen, but time is of the essence when planning a wedding. Without communication, I’m left unsure if my date is even available. I’ve tried to be patient, kind, and understanding, but at this point, I’m incredibly disappointed.
I wanted so badly for this to work, and I truly wish I could leave a glowing review because Dannon seemed so wonderful initially. Sadly, I can’t recommend Taps the Coast based on my experience.
Sincerely,
A disappointed bride

We had the pleasure of working with Tap the Coast for our wedding in November, and I cannot recommend their services enough! From start to finish, their professionalism and attenti...
on to detail were unmatched. They worked closely with us to craft a signature cocktail that perfectly reflected our personalities, and it was an absolute hit—our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible the drinks were!
Not only were the cocktails delicious, but the level of service throughout the evening was exceptional. The team was organized, efficient, and always had a smile on their faces. They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration.
If you’re looking for a top-tier bartending service that will elevate your event, look no further than Tap the Coast. They were a standout part of our wedding, and we’re so grateful for their role in making our day unforgettable!

for our rehearsal dinner drinks and wedding day drinks, and Dannon really helped us nail down the perfect menu for both! We had a coffee bar towards the end of our wedding night and our guests RAVED about it. Such a fun addition to any event honestly. You should 100% use Tap The Coast for all your beverage needs :)

our initial phone call with the owner (Dannon), we were positive we wanted to move forward with them to bartend our wedding. We used the Piaggio bar and it was one of the focal points of our reception. All of our wedding guest (~150) absolutely loved the bar and Dannon. She is so professional and personable. From start to finish she made the process simple and helped us craft together our signature wedding drinks, all of which were AMAZING! Now we're trying to figure out what else we can use Tap the Coast for. I highly recommend using them for all of your bartending needs.

her bar would come into play. Our venue was picky about outside vendors so we only used the photobooth, but just that alone was worth it and the bar was cute for photos! The photobooth was a super fun addition for guests (and us) to get a break and take a goofy little breather. I love that I have those photos on top of my photographer's photos to look back on the most special day of my life thus far. Dannon is a joy to have as a guest and we truly enjoyed her service. If you're wondering if you should make this a part of your special day, i'd say it is well worth it. Dannon responds quickly and worked well with our wedding planner as well.
