Based out of Winchester, CA, Thirsty Burros is a bar, beverage, and wedding favor service (and more).
We are Southern California's original and premier entertainment (beer burros) beverage donkeys that started it all! We are husband and wife (RBS Certified, as required by the State of California)[Responsibility Beverage Service] handlers that lead our pet miniature burros around your event and offer water, beer bottles, juice boxes, wine, drinks/party favors (your choice) to your guests from their pack saddles. We assist in taking pictures with them, answer any questions, as well as allow as much petting and affection as you can give them.
Outfitted with custom saddle pack baskets and coordinated costumes (options available), our miniature friendly burros will be a welcoming sight to see for your guests at any event. They go everywhere - hotels, restaurants, homes, wedding venues, etc... Perfect for any sort of occasion, including a rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour. They are a great way to entertain your guests during weddings, birthdays, business events, private parties, holiday parties, western-themed or Cinco De Mayo celebrations. They are also used for children's birthday parties, with alcoholic beverages being replaced by kid-friendly juice boxes, drinks, or candy bags. Our burros have been used as a fun form of transportation to distribute wedding goodies in their saddle baskets, or just to provide ambiance and photo opportunities to your guests.

haved, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about them.
Not only were they a huge hit visually, but they were also the perfect beverage holders. It was such a creative and memorable way to serve drinks, and it added a really special, personal touch to our celebration.
The team was great to work with—professional, friendly, and clearly experienced in making everything run smoothly.
If you’re looking for something truly unique that your guests will remember, Thirsty Burros (and especially Gracie and Cash!) are an absolute must. They brought so much charm and fun to our wedding day!

ure everything came together perfectly. Her kindness, flexibility, and calm attitude made such a stressful situation so much easier, and we are incredibly grateful for how much she cared about making our day special.
Gunner was an absolute star and easily one of the highlights of the night! Our guests could not stop talking about him, taking pictures, and saying how unique and fun the whole experience was. The setup looked amazing, Gunner was adorable and so clearly well cared for, and everything felt seamless and professional from start to finish.
We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend them to anyone wanting something unforgettable for their event. Thank you again, Jennifer, for going above and beyond for us!

stions and helped to have Cash and Gracie dressed to support our party theme. On the day of the event, 700 employees got to enjoy the sweet temperament of Cash and Gracie and share in some fun photos with them. They were truly the hit of the party! Both Diana and her husband were so kind and friendly while they interacted with our employees at the event. I will absolutely consider using them whenever possible in the future. Thank you so much for helping to make our summer party a huge success.
