Mobile Mixology

Just imagine it – a vintage inspired trailer turned bar rolling into your event! Retro Rentals has transformed every detail of these gorgeous trailers and the possibilities are endless! While the trailer is a stunning facet on its own, we decided to dress it up even more with custom shelving and florals. Consider adding a mobile bar to your next event!

Butler Passing

Having a staff member strolling through the event with cocktails is a great way to promote mingling and discussion over the cocktail. Guests can ask the server questions about the cocktail or the event as they walk by. 

Tableside Beverage Service

When hosting a plated dinner, tableside beverage service might be the best style to consider! With this service style guests don’t need to worry about getting up from their seat, the beverages come directly to them! For this event specifically, a sommelier was onsite explaining the wine pairings with each course the guests were served. It was a fabulous way to educate guests on the beverages and entrees they were consuming. 

Custom Chalkboard Bar

Considering a custom bar menu but don’t know how to display the beverage options for guests? Chalkboard menu! Creating a custom design and description of the bar offerings is a great way to visually showcase the options!

Stationary Bars

Last, but not least – stationary bar setups! One of the most popular bar options is to create a location for the bar and serve beverages from behind it. LUX has countless barfront options to select from, here are a few of our favorites!

No matter what service style you choose, beverage service is a great way to make a lasting impression on your guests! Beverage service doesn’t have to be strictly alcoholic, our beverage team can transform any cocktail into a stunning mocktail as well!
