Whiskey Chaser was FANTASTIC!!!!! We were so incredibly happy with their help creating delicious signature cocktails and guiding us in how much alcohol to perform our event. We cannot recommend them highly enough!!!!
Hiring The Whiskey Chaser for our wedding was one of the only MUST-HAVE's on our list. Aside from the venue, they were the first vendor I locked in because we knew we had to have them. Tory & Chad are a dream team to work with and made the planning process so seamless. For starters, their cocktail questionnaire truly help you narrow down to what kind of cocktails you want at your wedding (except it was hard because there were so many yummy sounding craft creations to choose from)! If you found a cocktail that caught your interest but were interested in small tweaks, they were so open and talked us through our options. They worked with us and our venue to make sure we could have all of our wants for our bar.
We had the pleasure of having Chad as our bartender the day of the wedding. The days leading up to our wedding, we were on weather watch for an "atmospheric river" and they knew how important having the Horse Trailer there meant to me. The day of our wedding had DOWNPOUR rain all day and even though we knew in the contract they cannot set up the trailer in the rain, Chad still towed it up the mountain and kept it covered and once the rain stopped after dinner, he uncovered it, lit it all up and had it set up so at least we could get some photos with it for our memories!
Now back to the cocktails.....people are still talking about them. I had a Peach Lavender margarita that was TO DIE FOR and my husband chose a Maple Walnut Old Fashioned. If you are looking to have the best craft cocktails and service at your next event, The Whiskey Chaser is the best of the best !
Thank you so much Chad and Tory, from the bottom of our hearts, you really helped make our day perfect.
Highly recommend the Whiskey Chaser. We used them for our Wedding in September and it was just perfect. I wanted a fun rustic bar cart for our wedding and the Whisky Chaser was just that! Tory was very responsive, organized, and professional. We did two signature drinks and they were delicious with the freshest ingredients. They even made a special version of the cocktail for a friend of ours with an allergy, very accommodating. Chad was great on day of our wedding! Extremely attentive and organized. They were one of our favorite vendors! I can't say enough great things. If they are available on the date of your event don't wait and book now!
We want to thank the whiskey chaser crew for their amazing service from start to end. From helping select the perfect cocktails for our wedding to the amazing customer service on the day. The drinks were delicious and the guest are still complimenting them. The whole bridal party was so impressed when Chad came over with a tray of drinks while we we were waiting to take pictures, we were all like our savior! I really would recommend them for any event and would definitely hire them again for any future event.
We are so thankful that we were able to work with Tory and Chad from the Whiskey Chaser for our wedding. They were professional, friendly, and skilled mixologists from the beginning of the planning process all the way to the big day. We had so much fun going through the signature cocktails they designed for us and would highly recommend visiting them in Oakland to try some of the cocktails before making a decision. While this was helpful for deciding which drinks were best it was also fun to get to learn about how their company came to be and get to know them both better before the event. The day of our wedding the drinks were such a hit. We had friends who had nothing but the signature cocktails all night because they were so delicious. Chad and his team had lots of drinks pre-prepared so that there wasn’t a bottleneck waiting at the bar after the ceremony which was much appreciated. The bar was busy all night and they handled the crowds with ease. The Whiskey Chaser truly went above and beyond for our wedding and we were so fortunate to work with them.
Absolutely the best bartenders ever! My husband and I always had a drink in our hands thanks to Chad! Our custom drinks were so tasty! All of our guests had nothing but good things to say about their service the entire evening! They were awesome to work with when our venue told us that the horse trailer would not be allowed on site. They worked quickly to work out another solution! I will definitely be booking The Whiskey Chaser for future events!
So so fantastic!!! The trailer is very cute and set a fun atmosphere for our cocktail hour and reception. The team did a great job and our guests all commented on how fun the bar was! Thank you so much Whiskey Chaser!! Would book again anytime!
Fantastic bartenders for our wedding! The drinks were phenomenal and the barkeeps were just as good. They spent an incredible amount of time working with us before the wedding to make sure our specialty cocktails were perfect and that our bar would be stocked exactly to our very particular tastes. Everyone was incredibly flexible throughout the process and far kinder than we deserved. Could not recommend more highly.
The Whiskey Chaser made our wedding! We threw a reception in May 2022 and they helped carry our vision of a fun and unique festive party.
Tory and Chad were amazing to work with. Tory was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. She helped walked us through the entire process and educated us on bartending aspects we didn’t think about. Chad was the master at his craft in both creating signature cocktails and being that dope people person you need at a party. The speed and friendliness of the staff was incredible.
Everyone raved about the drinks and people didn’t stop drinking the entire night. The trailer really brought ambiance, and is the most genius mobile bar we’ve ever seen.
We can’t wait for whatever next event we host where we can work with The Whiskey Chaser team again!
Dream Team!
Tory is such a pleasure to work with! Anyone planning an event knows how quickly the to do’s add up,Tory is an angel going above and beyond helping us get organized to ensure we had every detail covered.
Day of event - CHAD the MAN! Signature drinks were the best!! Chad made sure we (bride and groom) had a drink in our hands the entire night! Not only were all the drinks tasty, but Chad made it a whole experience! Chad was so sweet and felt like he was part of the family! Best choice for bar- HANDS DOWN!
We can’t wait to see them at another event ;)

We absolutely adored working with The Whiskey Chaser! Our venue did not allow liquor and they were still able to create a variety of custom cocktails for us to choose from. Tory was very helpful and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. Chad was so personable and was an excellent bartender. I can’t say enough good things about this team!
Booking The Whiskey Chaser was one of the best decisions we made for our October 2021 wedding! Leading up to the wedding, Tori was so helpful in making sure we found the perfect cocktails for our wedding (note that my husband was a little picky with his drink of choice, but Tori wasn’t challenged by this and she nailed the perfect recipe for our big day). We went with a peachy Paloma spritzer and a mango painkiller (both of which I highly recommend for any event) for our “his and her” cocktails and they were a HUGE hit with our guests. We’re so glad we worked with them for our big day. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!
We are SO glad we hired the Whiskey Chaser to serve our wedding drinks! Tory was so fun and easy to work with leading up to the event and Chad could not have been sweeter at the event!! Their staff was super helpful and made sure everyone was having fun. Our venue did not allow liquor, so it was great to be able to rely on Tory & Chad to come up with fun liquor-free drinks that our guests LOVED!! Sadly, we experienced a historic downpour of rain on our wedding day, so we weren't able to use the trailer, but the team's service and support on-site absolutely made up for it :) we would absolutely hire the Whiskey Chaser again and again!!!
Chad & Tory 4Ever!!
My husband and I absolutely LOVED The Whiskey Chaser. The customized bar itself is absolutely amazing and our guests were in awe of its creative appearance and setup.
On our big day Chad was on time, handled all bar logistics, and made sure that everyone who wanted a beverage had one in hand all night long. Prior to, both Tory and Chad worked with us to make sure we had enough glassware on standby and also gave us quantity recommendations to ensure everyone's cup was runneth over. LOL
Something that made a huge impression on me was that Chad and his co-bartender took the time to taste all of the wines that we provided. This allowed them to articulate the taste of each and make sure that our guests were drinking something that they liked.
Hands down, best bar service out there. They are personalized, attentive, professional, and incredibly kind. :) We will definitely be working with them again and so should you!
Whiskey Chaser was easily one of the best vendors we worked with for our recent anniversary / wedding celebration. We had originally booked them for our Wedding pre-Covid in early 2020, and they worked with us to reschedule to August of 2021. Their signature cocktails package was great - the most fun we had planning the wedding was the day we did the cocktail tasting with Tory and Chad. Highly recommend to relax and enjoy the cocktails while tailoring it for our big day. We ended up with a Bee’s knees peach cardamom gin cocktail and a blackberry sangria which paired perfectly with our paella!
They were easy to work with: Tory handled all the communication and guidance with logistics while Chad was the man behind the bar and creations. :) They seemed extremely self-sufficient and were so kind! They were also very accommodating: we had a special (late) request to serve chocolate milk and virgin mocktails from the bar as a special treat for the non-drinkers, and they took this in stride.
The trailer bar is amazing decor, and I cannot say how much of a hit WC was on the big day. We had minimal decorations and flowers, and their trailer bar added a lot to the outdoor garden vibe we were going for. Lines all night long (but not too long!), and many repeated visits throughout the evening. The gin cocktail they designed was a immensely popular, and Rafael and Chad were super nice and kept folks happy all night long. We had several guests telling us how they even enjoyed chatting them up! They were even able to hook up a keg to the built-in beer taps! We could not recommend Whiskey Chaser more highly, and look forward to having friends book them for a future wedding so we can see the trailer in-person again!
The Whiskey Chaser was one of the first vendors I reached out to because I HAD to have them. Their services are not just focused on alcohol. They take care of everything and the presentation is breathtaking. The lemonade provided at the ceremony was to die for. Tory and Chad are incredible people and they were amazing to work with. Their services go above and beyond and are even able to put out fires that can happen just a few weeks before go-time. Tory is kind, a great listener when we were exploring signature cocktails, and very responsive. Chad serves drinks flawlessly and every drink was perfect. He was generous and made some delicious mocktails for a few pregnant guests. I cannot encourage you enough to work with them. I also cannot thank them enough for all of their support and commitment to making our wedding day dreams comes true.
We had the whiskey chaser team run the bar for our wedding. They are so easy and helpful to work with. They helped us plan the menu, amounts to purchase and we're flexible with our requests. On the day of the event they coordinated with our wedding planner and executed flawlessly. Our guests and we were super happy. The quality of the mixed drinks was top notch. Would highly recommend this team for your event!
I can't say enough about the Whiskey Chaser! My son and daughter-in-law hired them for their wedding. Covid hit and they had to reschedule to our home. They were very flexible in changing places. All guests raved about the great service and friendly bartenders. I was so impressed! This was by far the best mobile bar. I highly recommend!
The Whiskey Chaser bar was a late vendor addition for us to our wedding day, but I can confidently say they were THE BEST vendor we hired! The first thing that impressed me was how incredibly responsive they were to my emails and questions. Not only did they get back to me right away but they were so accommodating with anything I needed. Since they were a late addition we didn't have time to schedule a tasting so we ended up choosing drinks and trusting their expertise based on what we liked. They asked us all kinds of questions on our preferences to nail down our cocktails. to say the least, THEY NAILED IT. We chose a hibiscus margarita and blackberry mule and everyone LOVED them! They also helped us figure out how much alcohol and glassware we would need for the wedding. When they showed up on the wedding day, Chad and his helper had the biggest and welcoming smile on their faces. They made our wedding bar epic! Also can we talk about how cute and fun their mobile bar is?! It fit perfectly at our venue! Hire Tory and Chad for your wedding or event, you will not regret the level of service they provide!
Can't wait to work with them again! Chad and Tory were an absolute dream to work with; everything we as Coordinators look for in a vendor team, responsive, helpful, quality, punctual, overcomers, and most important... great human beings that are fun and a joy to be around. We had the pleasure of working with The Whiskey Trailer Bar at the beautiful Waterfall Lodge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Not only is that venue gorgeous, but as vendors, a tad tricky to navigate on those small trails and windy roads. This was no feat for Chad and Tory, they arrived early and ready to serve the guests during a Super Bowl Sunday wedding at that. There was never a long line, never a guest without a drink in their hand, all happy cheering for the couple and the game. We are absolutely looking forward to working with them again and highly recommend you to be too.
Easiest and best decision we made for our wedding, by FAR! From emailing initially and having a million questions about the details of the Whiskey Chaser... to taste testing... to planning the drink menu... to enjoying the BEST customized drinks at our wedding... everything about the Whiskey Chaser exceeded my expectations. Working with Tory & Chad was definitely a FIVE STAR experience.
All of our family and friends raved about the trailer and all the drinks. We had margaritas, micheladas, a blueberry vodka lemon fizz, and a bourbon peach arnold palmer. Tory & Chad helped with estimating the drink/alcohol quantity we would need... they asked all the right questions to get to know our likes and dislikes, and came up with awesome options for our drink menu... they were super responsive from months prior... to weeks before finalizing all the details. I loved working with these two.
I am already thinking of another party I can plan so we can have the Whiskey Chaser back again!
Hiring the Whiskey Chaser (Tory and Chad) was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Our experiences at past weddings showed us how having good drinks served well (and fast) can make a wedding experience for your guests. The Whiskey Chaser freaking knocked it out of the park for us.
Starting with the planning experience, Tory was the most responsive vendor we had, answering all of my emails and questions very promptly. As a stressed out bride planning a wedding this was so crucial. During our tasting a few months before the wedding, Tory and Chad whipped up some of the best cocktails we’ve ever tasted. We decided on three signature cocktails (named for each of us and our dog). On the day of the wedding, everyone was debating which one was best but they all honestly tasted amazing. In terms of the service, Chad and crew completely crushed it. So many guests raved to us about the drinks and during my trips to the bar (I made several) service was always super fast and friendly. No one had to wait in long lines for drinks, which as a guest we all know totally sucks.
Beyond the yummy drinks and great service, the trailer looked absolutely incredible outside our venue. It served as a large piece of decor in it of itself. It looked wonderful and I can’t wait to see how it turned out in photos.
Overall, if you are debating getting the Whiskey Chaser for you wedding or event just do it. I promise you won’t regret it.
Hands down our favorite part of our wedding! From the minute I discovered The Whiskey Chaser I knew I HAD to have them for our wedding. We got married at a rustic venue in Petaluma and seeing The Whiskey Chaser in action at our venue with all our guests having the time of their lives, left us speechless. From the minute we started working with Tory and Chad, we were so impressed with them! They truly want you to have the best experience possible and will do everything in their power to ensure that. We must have exchanged over 100 emails with them and from start to finish and they are just hands down the best! So knowledgeable, professional, and nice! From the wedding cocktail consultation where they help curate and create your wedding cocktails based on your preferences (so fun!), to picking up our beer kegs for us on our wedding day to help out, to moving The Whiskey Chaser to 2 different locations during the wedding for us, they are simply amazing! This is the detail that differentiates an ordinary wedding from an extraordinary one. They truly are the best craft bartenders! So passionate about what they do and the drinks are out of this world! We went with a delicious Pear Whiskey Ginger and a Peach Lavender Margarita and I'll be dreaming about them forever! We've been to so many weddings where you can't even order a cocktail because of how awful they are, The Whiskey Chaser exceeded every expectation. Worth every penny! Your guests will not stop talking about it too! Thank you so much for making us the happiest Bride & Groom!
We hired Whiskey Chaser for our wedding - Tory and Chad were amazing to work with and we cannot recommend them enough! From the planning process to the day of, everything felt so easy. They are extremely organized and on top of things; communicating, logistics, beverage quantity recommendations, etc. Tory was always very quick to respond to any questions we had and the planning process was a breeze. They are very detailed in the planning and made sure everything was taken care of. Tory and Chad took our preferences for the drinks we had in mind and really brought them to life. They have such creative and unique ideas on flavors and drinks that it was really difficult to choose our main drinks. We even added an extra one because there were so many we liked! On our wedding day, we constantly had guests coming up to us saying how cute the bar was, how friendly they were, and most importantly how much they loved the drinks. Definitely a hit! Whiskey Chaser was a dream to work with and we are so grateful the process was so simple and easy when wedding planning can be so stressful.
I found the Whiskey Chaser on Instagram at that point in wedding planning where I was convinced it was going to be a total disaster (everyone has that, right?). As soon as I saw the trailer, all lit up, I was like, “I need that. If I have that, everything else will fall into place.”
And it totally did. Chad and Tory are awesome—outstanding communication, excellent cocktail knowledge, exceptional service—just all-around good people who had a great business idea and the savvy to bring it to life. The bar’s visual appeal is obvious, but Chad and Tory’s relaxed competence, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine care about the party turning out well really push the Whiskey Chaser into the exceptional category. They created an array of beautiful and tasty cocktails and a welcoming tasting experience. They worked with us to figure out how to set up in our cocktail hour area, have a satellite bar ready at the reception area, and then move the whole trailer and set back up for the reception. They gave us the option to order our booze at their local BevMo, and they picked it up and brought it with them to the wedding. Even with their new baby arriving just months before our wedding (he came to our site visit—so cute!), they never missed a beat.
At the wedding, the trailer looked absolutely perfect, and every time I saw Chad, Tory, and their other bartender Justine, they were mixing, pouring, moving racks, very diplomatically suggesting water as alternative to select drunk relatives—but also smiling and chatting and asking us if we needed anything and really helping to set the whole scene for the event. It was one of the few aspects of the day that really made me feel like an honored guest at my own wedding. Plus that first drink after making our way down from the ceremony was pretty much the best thing ever. Our guests raved about the trailer, the drinks, and how nice and helpful the bartenders were. While this was something of a splurge for us, I cannot imagine any way our bar could have gone better, and it felt completely worth the money. Thanks, guys—the Bay Area is lucky to have you!
Our wedding was at a private home in Sonoma County, so nothing was turn-key. The Whiskey Chaser was the perfect bar solution.
The bar is super cute, Chad is very easy to coordinate with, the price was very reasonable and they took care of all our drinks. We strongly recommend!
My bestie had the Whiskey Chaser at her outdoor/casual baby shower and it was so cute! The trailer bar is beautiful and added fun photo opps. The staff were all super friendly. Perfect size too for her picnic spot. Made for a very fun party and could definitely see at a wedding!
