After years of attending fancy weddings, I always found myself standing in line at a lackluster bar with limited options like Amstel Light, Vodka Soda, and Jack & Coke. 🥃 It seemed like such an overlooked aspect of the event industry. 🤷♂️ I mean, if you're spending thousands on a celebration, wouldn't you want a stellar bar experience? That's when it hit me - why not up the bar game and bring some craft cocktail magic to events? So I started Craft Cartel, a cocktail catering company focused on creating memorable drinking experiences. With expert bartenders, high-quality ingredients, and unique cocktail concepts, we aim to turn the bar into a highlight of any party. Because let's be real, everyone loves a good cocktail and everyone visits the bar at some point. Why not make it an unforgettable experience? 🌟 Have you had a similar frustration with event bars? Let me know in the comments! 📝 And if you're planning an event, hit that save button for a bar upgrade like no other. 💥 #CocktailCatering #CraftCocktails #EventPlanning

Transforming drink service at your event into a memorable experience can truly elevate the occasion. Monomocktails recently shared an inspiring concept that exemplifies this approach. This idea is particularly effective for streamlining drink distribution at the beginning of an event or as guests transition into the reception at a wedding. It allows guests to enjoy cocktails or mocktails without the hassle of waiting in line, accommodating attendees of all ages. Additionally, this strategy not only minimizes wait times but also serves as a distinctive photo opportunity, creating lasting memories while remaining budget-friendly. This display concept can equally be applied to appetizers during cocktail hours or receptions, enhancing the overall guest experience.

What does a The Clever Barkeep event feel like? Well, to put it as simply as I can, we take care of the details. Not just in the cocktails - of course, the drinks have to be awesome...but more than that. What's volume of the music? How many coats can we hang up? How many glasses can we bus? What can we do to help guests feel like their every need is taken care of? Hospitality is a feeling and we care deeply about it. Here's a small snip of a beautiful outdoor wedding we worked this summer. Take a peak and let us know if we can be of service for your next event. #events #bartending #eventplanning #hospitality #catering #weddings #corporate #retreats #cocktails

Planning a wedding can be stressful. What if you could get discounted liquor and save some money? What if you could have somebody else take care of the set up and serving? What if you had a testimonial from somebody else to help you decide who to work with? We've got you covered. Here's what Crystal had to say: Full testimonial: We used Blaine Lake Liquor for our alcohol and mix purchasing, as well as bartending at our wedding at the Albert Community Center. Overall, we had a great experience working with Krystal and her team. She was pleasant and efficient to deal with leading up to the wedding, and even gave us a deal on some sparkling wine because they were out of the cheaper kind that we had originally ordered. They were familiar with the venue, and because we got all of the liquor, mix, and bartending services from them, setup was hassle-free. Essentially, we just showed up to our wedding and everything was operating as requested with no input or management needed from us. The bartending staff were great and professional, and even helped to clear tables for us when the bar wasn't busy. It was also great to have them take all the extra unopened liquor back for us and issue the refund. Overall, I'd highly recommend using BLL for a hassle-free, affordable, professional liquor/bartending experience. - Crystal #WeddingBartending #WeddingLiquorDelivery #YXEWeddings
