🍁 Support Local This Thanksgiving! 🍁

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for delicious treats to complement your feast without all the baking, we’ve got you covered! These amazing goodies are made right here in the same commissary kitchen we use for crafting our mixers.

We see the care, passion, and love Tim puts into every one of his creations, and it’s truly inspiring. When someone is this dedicated to their craft, you can taste the difference! 💛

Let’s celebrate the season by supporting local businesses and bringing a little extra flavor to the table. 🦃✨

As we open our doors for our first Thanksgiving here at Sugar N Spice Confections, we’re beyond thankful for all of the support each of you have given this new little grandma approved bakery. Spending time in grandmas kitchen during the holiday’s is where I first discovered the joy of baking and the power of food to connect people together. Watching her work her magic with simple ingredients and a touch of creativity showed me how really good food can be used as a love language to bring even the most perfect of strangers together for a meaningful connection, so in honor of our grandmas love of people and food, we are announcing our very first Thanksgiving menu😲🥧🥮🍪🙌🍁 This Thanksgiving, let us help you create those cherished moments with our handmade classics and heartfelt flavors, crafted to bring back memories and create new ones. We can’t wait to be a part of your holiday tradition👏🏻

*Our Thanksgiving preorder page is LIVE at the website listed below or through the QR code featured on our menu, so feel free to place your order there. All orders will have a local pick-up location that will be provided to you at checkout. If the pick-up location and timeframe cannot work for you, please send us a message through the website contact page and we will do our best to accommodate your request! We can’t wait to help you make this Thanksgiving the BEST ONE YET☺️

💍✨ Signature Cocktails are here to STAY! ✨💍

Some wedding blogs may say Signature Cocktails are out—but we couldn’t disagree more! Not only do we have an incredible time at our Signature Cocktail tastings, getting to know each couple, how they met, and their unique style, but Signature Cocktails add that unforgettable touch, giving guests a memorable, personalized drink to enjoy! 🍸✨

And here’s the best part: Signature Cocktails are our secret weapon for BUSTING those cocktail hour lines! We hear it all the time on consultation calls: couples frustrated with weddings where guests waited 20… 30… even 40 minutes just to get their first drink. That’s a hard no for us!

With our Signature Cocktail Station, we can move a line of 150 guests in under 10 minutes! 🚀 By placing this station right where guests enter cocktail hour, we help split the line, greeting guests with a cocktail they’ll love. This keeps the main bar open for those who want beer, wine, or their classic favorites.

Here’s a snapshot of our Signature Cocktail Stations! While you’re saying “I dos,” we’re behind the scenes, prepping and icing drinks, ready to make that first sip as smooth and fresh as your big day. Cheers to faster, tastier wedding celebrations! 🥂

🍸 Planning a wedding or event? We often get asked if we provide just bartenders. Our answer is no. We don't just provide bartenders, we provide a comprehensive bartending package.

When you hire a florist, she doesn't hand you a shopping list of flowers to buy. Your caterer doesn't expect you to shop for ingredients. So why should your bartending service be any different?

Don't add more stress to your plate in the weeks leading up to your special day. With us, you get everything you need for your bar, delivered and set up hassle-free. No shopping lists, no last-minute runs. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy your event!

Let's make your day as smooth and memorable as possible. Contact us today to learn more about our services.

🚨 Over the weekend we were asked why do we serve cocktails in 9oz glasses and non-alcoholic drinks in 12oz and not the other way around? Here's why:

**Correct Portions**: A standard cocktail is made up of 2oz liquor, 4oz mixer, and ice. A 9oz glass is the perfect fit! A bigger glass just means more ice and mixer, not more alcohol.

**Preventing Waste**: Drinks often get misplaced or forgotten, servers clear them away when you are on the dance floor. Smaller portions help minimize waste—no point in making big drinks that don't get finished! That is just alcohol abuse! 🍸

**Easy Identification**: It's a quick way to tell the difference between cocktails and mocktails! If a kid's sipping from a 9oz glass, we know to check. It also helps your non-drinking guests know they are not grabbing the wrong glass by mistake!

**Unlimited Non-Alcoholic drinks**: No limit on Non-Alcoholic drinks! Guests can enjoy as much as they like! So go WILD! The more you hydrate the less your hangover will be!

Cheers to portion control, less waste, and keeping everyone refreshed! 🥂🍹

This Weekend's Etiquette TIP!

Today isn’t about getting hammered! 🍻 It’s about celebrating love, family, and friends!

So pace yourself—you’ve got 5 hours to enjoy and have a great time! Don’t be that person every couple fears at their wedding, getting into a fight or feeling sick.

✅ Spread out your drinks. Remember, it takes your body 1 hour to process 1 drink!
✅ Have a water between rounds, or ask your bartender to make a mocktail!

If a bartender suggests you slow down, please do so without a fight! The next step is cutting you off, and nobody wants that.

We don’t know who drove or who took the bus, so we treat everyone like they drove.

As bartenders, yes, our main job is to serve alcohol, but just as important, it’s our job to keep you safe! The last memory the couple wants from their perfect night is someone not making it home safely from their wedding becasue they were over served.

Help us keep it fun, safe and only good memories for everyone! 🥂

🚚 This is what an order for a wedding of 180 guests looks like! 🍻🍷🥂

Here's a snapshot of a drop-off we handled this past weekend:

📦 17 Cases of Beer
🍾 11 Cases of Wine, Liquor, and Champagne

If a case weighs on average 30-40lbs… that’s about 980lbs! And you're not just moving that weight once…

1️⃣ Store to your vehicle
2️⃣ Unloading your vehicle into your house or garage
3️⃣ Reloading your vehicle to get it to your venue
4️⃣ Unloading your vehicle at the venue the morning of the wedding

By the time all is said and done, that means you’ve lifted around 4,000lbs! 😳💪

Do you really want to be doing all of that work in the weeks leading up to and ON your wedding day? Of course not!

Let us take the weight off your hands (literally!) and do it for you. 🙌

Not only do we handle all the heavy lifting, but we also:
✔️ Assist with calculating what you need based on what you want to serve
✔️ Help place orders with stores and assist you with making payments
✔️ Return at last call to pick up any unopened alcohol and take it back to stores for refunds! 💸 What other vendor helps you get money back at the end of your event?! 🎉

Enjoy your celebration without worrying about the logistics. We've got it all covered! 🙌
