Bridal shower, baby shower and bachelorette bar service
The parties that open a wedding year, and the ones that end up on everybody’s camera roll. Mimosa and spritz bars, frozen bellinis, espresso martinis, a champagne toast, and a signature named for whoever it is all about.
Plenty of these run completely alcohol-free, baby showers especially, and we build those as a proper bar rather than a table of juice. Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and all seven cities.

The most photographed party of the wedding year
A shower is two or three hours long and generates more photographs per hour than the wedding does. Which means the bar is not just service. It is a backdrop that ends up in a hundred phones.
So the details that cost the least are the ones worth spending on: real glassware instead of plastic, citrus cut on site instead of pre-sliced, a garnish tray that looks deliberate, and a printed menu card with her name on it. None of that is expensive. All of it shows.
What we run
Daytime, seated, boozy or entirely not.
Bridal showers
Daytime, seated, and photographed more than any other party of the year. A mimosa or spritz bar, glassware rather than cups, and garnish that looks like somebody meant it.
Baby showers
Often fully non-alcoholic, and it should still be a real bar. Shaken lemonades, fruit spritzers, cold-pressed juices and mocktail flights, served by a uniformed bartender from a proper setup.
Bachelorette parties
Usually a rented house and usually a weekend. We can come for the first night and set the tone, or drop a Crush Kit and let you run it yourselves for the rest.
Engagement parties
Both families in one room, often meeting properly for the first time. A short, generous menu and a champagne toast that lands when the speeches do.
Rehearsal dinner cocktail hours
An hour of real service before everyone sits down. Fast, tight, and finished on cue so the dinner is not waiting on the bar.
Day-after brunches
Bloody Marys, mimosas, cold brew and something for the people who are done drinking. Gentle service for a room that has had a night.

How it works
-
Tell us the date and where it is
Including whether it is a private home, a rented house or a venue. A beach rental in Sandbridge and a hotel suite need different plans, and we would rather know now.
-
Say how much of it is alcohol-free
Some of these parties are entirely non-alcoholic and some are half and half. It changes the menu and the shopping list, and it is never a downgrade.
-
We build the menu and the shopping list
Two or three signatures, sparkling for the toast, and a proper non-alcoholic side. Quantities and brands included so you buy at retail in your own name.
-
Add glassware if you want the photos to look right
Coupes, flutes, stemless wine, French Rox. Rented by the rack and washed by us. It is the difference between a nice photo and a great one.
-
We set up, pour, and pack out
Ice, citrus, tools and garnish ready before guests arrive, and every trace of us gone at the end, which matters more in a rental than anywhere else.
What hosts ask us
Can you do a completely non-alcoholic shower?
Yes, and it is one of the things we are best at. A fully non-alcoholic bar is not a jug of juice on a table. It is shaken lemonades, fruit and herb spritzers, cold-pressed juices, dirty sodas and mocktail flights, cut and garnished on site and served by a uniformed bartender.
Baby showers are the usual reason and it comes up more than people expect. It is a real bar with no alcohol in it, not a compromise.
We are in an Airbnb or a beach rental. Does that work?
It works, and a lot of this is exactly that. Tell us the address and we will sort out where the bar goes, what we can use of the kitchen and what we bring instead.
Two things worth checking on your side: whether the rental has house rules about events, and where we can park to unload. Everything else is our problem.
Can we rent glassware instead of using cups?
Yes, and for a shower it is usually the single best-value add-on. Coupes, flutes, stemless wine and our French Rox glasses rent by the rack, arrive clean and leave with us dirty.
These are the most photographed parties we work. Plastic shows up in every picture.
How long do you stay?
Four hours is the minimum, which suits most showers. They tend to run two to three hours of real service with setup before and breakdown after. Longer is fine and priced by the hour.
Can you do a signature drink for the bride or the couple?
Always, and it is the detail people remember. Tell us what she actually drinks, or what they drank on a first date, and we will build it, print it on a bar menu card and name it whatever you want.
Can we just get a Crush Kit for the weekend instead?
For a bachelorette weekend, often yes. A Crush Kit is the tools, crusher, fresh fruit, mix, pebble ice and all the cups, napkins and straws dropped at your door and collected afterwards, no bartender, no service hours, you pour your own.
Plenty of groups book us for the first night and run kits for the rest of the weekend. It is usually the cheapest way to drink well for three days.
Send us the date, the location and how much of it you want alcohol-free. You will get a menu built around the guest of honor, an honest recommendation on glassware, and an itemized number with the fees on the page rather than at the end.
Tell us about your event.
Send us the date, the venue and the headcount. You'll get an itemized estimate, a custom cocktail menu and honest guidance — free, with nothing committed. Once you book, we send the shopping list: what to buy, what it should cost, and where to get it.
