Elevate Your Wedding Bar: From Standard to Signature 🍸✨

Your wedding bar isn’t just about serving drinks—it’s about creating an experience. From expertly crafted signature cocktails to curated glassware and garnishes, the details make all the difference in taking your celebration from meh to absolutely luxurious.

Here’s how to do it right:

🍸 Hire a Professional Bartending Service – A skilled mixologist doesn’t just pour drinks; they craft an experience. Think perfectly balanced cocktails, seamless service, and a bar that feels as elegant as the rest of your wedding.

🥂 Choose Specialty Glassware – Presentation is everything. Elevate your bar with vintage goblets, sleek coupe glasses, or gold-rimmed tumblers that complement your wedding aesthetic.

🎵 Set the Mood with a Live Acoustic Musician – Picture sipping a handcrafted cocktail while a guitarist or jazz duo plays in the background. It’s those little touches that turn a reception into a vibe.

🍊 Garnish with Intention – Whether it’s dried citrus, fresh herbs, or a smoked rosemary sprig, the right garnish enhances the drink’s flavor and adds an elegant finishing touch.

✨ Bonus: The Perfect Old Fashioned Recipe

If you’re looking for a classic, timeless cocktail to serve (or sip at home), here’s a foolproof recipe:

🔸 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
🔸 1 sugar cube (or 1/2 tsp simple syrup)
🔸 2 dashes Angostura bitters
🔸 Orange peel + Luxardo cherry for garnish

1️⃣ Muddle the sugar cube and bitters in a rocks glass.
2️⃣ Add ice and pour in the whiskey.
3️⃣ Stir gently and garnish with an orange peel & cherry.

Let’s talk real talk. Word on the street is you are thinking about skipping hiring a wedding coordinator?!

Ummm friends don’t let friends plan their wedding’s solo so to break it down here are just a few truth bombs why doing it solo is a really really bad idea + why you NEED (yes, NEED is the right word here!) an actual pro on your side:

1️⃣ You should be sipping champagne, not managing wedding day stress. 🥂 Your only job? Soaking in every moment. A professional coordinator ensures the timeline runs smoothly, vendors are handled, and last-minute surprises stay far away from you.

2️⃣ Every event needs a boss-level PIC (Point of Contact). This shouldn’t fall on your mom, best friend, or Aunt Linda (who, let’s be honest, would rather be dancing than setting up your desserts 💃). A pro handles all the logistics, vendor arrivals, and décor perfection—so your people can enjoy the day with you.

3️⃣ A coordinator makes your vendor team even stronger. They collaborate seamlessly with all your pros, troubleshoot on the spot, and keep everything flowing like clockwork—so your wedding is not just beautiful, but stress-free.

Let’s delegate the planning chaos so you can embrace the magic. ✨

“The time is always right to do what is right.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On June 14, 1965, Dr. King spoke these powerful words during his commencement address at Oberlin College, urging graduates to take action against injustice without waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment. His message still resonates today—reminding us that every day is an opportunity to stand up for what’s right, embrace kindness, and make meaningful change.

Did you get a fiancè for Christmas?! Eeeeekkkk we are so excited for you + hope you took a moment to pop some bubbles💘🥂

As a professional planner who has been rocking weddings for over 14 years I am going to share my tip top, # 1, most important pieces of advice with you… Slow Down, Savor the Moment & Breath!!

First of all you absolutely don’t have to start planning the day after the proposal – take time to enjoy the feeling of having levelled up together in this new very big way.

Savor it! Marinate in these moments because to be honest you are only going to be in this glorious affianced season once.

Cherish these first few days sharing in the memories with your soulmate that got you to where you are at this very moment and do not feel obligated to rush for even a single second. Everything else in the world can wait; which includes the 100+ question having family members.

But of course when you are ready to rock those next few step after floating on cloud 9 we are here for you!!
