Jesse from The Wander Bar was an incredible vendor at our wedding! He and his team brought the most charming drink truck and made the bar experience unforgettable. Jesse helped us plan the perfect amount of alcohol, offered great suggestions when needed, and had a fantastic list of signature drinks to choose from.

The Wanderbar is an amazing venue that makes hosting easy! We had estimated a graduation party of 100 but almost double showed up and the crew members were fantastic and kept up with the high demand! Would recommend for all! Amazing people and great service! Jesse and Jackie were the best and super accommodating!

I wrote such a long review a minute ago that my screen froze & it didn’t save! Absolutely LOVED having the Wander Bar Co. at my bridal shower yesterday! Jesse, Jackie & the bartender in training were so lovely & friendly. I chose 3 drinks. The watermelon Mojito was my favorite, very refreshing and not super sweet. The spritz was fruity and very tasty. Lastly was the pineapple Paloma which was the biggest hit with my guests. Can’t say enough how many people had these in their hands. Even the kids enjoyed their mocktails! So much so that when they were getting ready to wrap up after a few hours, I added another hour of service because they were that good! I had guests tell me that it was a genius idea to get something like this & they grabbed some cards. Hopefully I’ll see them soon at a family party! We even got my mom to take a shot (if you knew her, she doesn't take shots ever but she enjoyed the lemon drop!) I hope to have them back again for another party & I know some of my friends grabbed their cards right away and said that they are looking to book them for their events. Also, communication was super easy with Jesse. He was eager to make sure everything went smoothly on my special day & it truly made a big difference. Super professional, on time, picture perfect setup and clean too! To sum it all up, we LOVED the Wander Bar so so much and I'm very thankful for their hard work in making such amazing drinks & being so welcoming. Props to Jesse for being MVP and running drinks out to my guests while we were playing some games in the yard. Upset that I didn't get to take a picture with them but that's only because I was feeling very good & forgot LOL. If you want to have a kick ass party & see all of your guests laughing and having a great time... this is it! 15 out of 10 would recommend to anyone & everyone!

Having The Wander Bar Co at our camp wedding was easily the best decision I had for our wedding day. Jesse and his team were phenomenal every step of the way, from planning to the actual day of. I have allergies to sulfites and certain preservatives so I was super excited to hear that he juices everything fresh - just another reason his drinks were the best. I didn’t stop hearing how delicious the drinks were from my guests. I can’t wait to have another party so I can use The Wander Bar Co. Truly a beautifully curated bar and wonderful people to go with it.

Jesse was amazing! I had 101 questions for him, and he was always quick to answer and never seemed bothered. He was super flexible with all of my requests, and was also able to accommodate everything being vegan. He's very professional, as well as his assistant Jackie. The drinks he made were delicious and people loved them! The bar itself is extremely cool and such a fun thing to have at your event. Everyone couldn't stop telling me how cool they thought it was and how great the drinks were! Can't recommend him enough!!!

The WanderBar Co was AMAZING to work with for our big day!! If I could give more than five stars, I would. The owner, Jesse, is so fun to work with. Extremely helpful, comes up with signature cocktails if you want, decorates the trailer for your specific event and gives the perfect list of what kind and how much alcohol to purchase based on your event size. We had a backyard wedding and the vibe they had was perfect. Best part was how much our friends and family raved about them all night! Almost two weeks after our event and we still have family members saying Jessie and Jackie were the best part of our party! 100% would recommend them for any event!
