Brad and I had an exceptional day at The Pink Bride wedding show, where we had the pleasure of meeting our soon-to-be couples at the venue and connecting with numerous newly engaged couples. We appreciated the opportunity to network and establish relationships with local vendors. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth; we look forward to collaborating with you and potentially providing tours in the future.

🍹 Meet the Gustafsons: The Heart Behind the Cheers
Let’s raise a glass to where it all began! 🍸

We’re Christopher and Heather Gustafson, a husband-and-wife team who have called beautiful East Tennessee home for nearly 30 years. This is where we raised our two children (and gained a wonderful daughter-in-love), built friendships that feel like family, and fell in love with the art of creating memories—one toast at a time.

Chris, or as most people know him, “Gus,” has always been the life of the party in the best way possible. With over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, he’s no stranger to the buzz of a busy bar or the joy of crafting the perfect cocktail. From serving tables to managing restaurants, he’s done it all—and loved every minute of it.

Heather? She’s the creative, detail-loving dreamer who balances Gus’s expertise with a knack for making every event feel extra special. Together, we bring passion, experience, and a deep love of people to Tennessee Toasts by Gus.

Here’s a little secret about why we started this business:

👉 “We wanted to create something that lets us spend more time together, doing what we love,” Chris says. “There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people celebrate life’s happiest moments. It’s a joy like no other.”

We’re thrilled to share our journey with you—one celebration, one cocktail or mocktail, one moment at a time.

💌 Let’s Stay Connected!
