I have been working as a barista and bartender for over 6 years. My favorite part is interacting with customers and learning their story then make them a delicious drink they will love. With these passions I decided to take the show on the road! Now, I can bring my love for customer services and specialty drinks to your wedding and help you celebrate with delicious drinks that you wont be able to get enough of.

I have worked in coffee for over three years and at a brewery before that. I love everything about the balance of drinks and trying new ways to make something magical.

Highlighted review.

Let’s be real- good bartenders are a MUST when it comes to wedding planning. This service honestly was the highlight of my wedding, I kept hearing from my guests how great the drinks were and how friendly the service was. They come PREPARED and do an excellent job, they even made an incredible signature drink for each of us! Also if not everyone in your party drinks this is a GREAT option, because let me tell you the mocktail and coffee game is STRONG. If I had to plan all over again I would book them in a heartbeat!!

Laura was so kind, knowledgable and genuine! She listened to us, took the time to get to know us and created 2 perfect drinks that matched us perfectly. Being an out of state bride can be stressful, but Laura was so accommodating and patient with me, and I felt at ease booking her and working with her. She thinks of all the details, and her execution is top tier. She is amazing, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
