Mobile Wedding Bar Hire

We’re based in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire but work all over the country. Although travel costs apply, we can travel to wherever your event may be! More info here.

In terms of structure we can either work off a bar structure or even a suitable vehicle that you provide, we have a number of contacts if you are looking for something a little different. We have our own rustic wooden bars or modern bar structures which can be printed for you. From the bar we can serve a full selection including draft beer, wine, fizz, spirits and soft drinks. You could also have an exclusive cocktail bar serving alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails.

We have a wide selection of premium drink options, both alcoholic and non and will tailor your bar menu to suit your preferences. The key to our drinks selection is that we serve products that we are proud to serve, we love brands with a story and particularly those that are local or new to market. We serve draft beers and traditional hand pull ales if required, spirits, mixers, soft drinks, wines and more! If you are having cocktails on a full bar, we suggest choosing 2-3 cocktails, for an exclusively cocktails only bar we normally suggest 4 cocktails. We will give you a cocktail menu to choose from, most can be made alcoholic or non, but we’re always open to consider other favourite cocktails! Another highlight in our drinks offering is our very own Stag Gin created by Giles himself! Together with a wide variety of other premium gins, we can provide a premium gin bar serving a selection of exciting gins!

Each of our event bars is unique, whether it’s a non alcoholic cocktail bar, a wedding bar serving Vegan products only, or a traditional ale bar, we’ve done it all! Between Giles and Jodie we have extensive industry experience and knowledge across a wide range of products. Giles has trained in cocktails with the Savoy Group, worked in a local Brewery for 8 years, worked at an independent wine merchants and managed numerous pubs, clubs and bars for many years.

We have pop up bars, either rustic wooden bars or fully brandable structures that can be set up inside or out. There are no restrictions on where we can access. If you are having draft beer, we will need power, otherwise, just the space. We do have a 3x3m gazebo we can use for outside spaces.

The smallest bar we have is 1m, this could service up to around 50 guests. Our normal rustic wooden bars are 1.5m so we suggest a 2m x 2m space, we often use two rustic bars together for weddings.

We do not offer a dry hire package. There are options for full bars where you provide reception drinks and table drinks and we will run a cocktail bar or full evening bar but otherwise, we do not supply the bar and staff only – we are part of the package! More info here.

Yes we can ensure the correct licences are in place whether you want to provide all drinks for your guests, a capped number for each guest or you want a full cash bar where guests purchase their own drinks. In this case a booking fee and minimum spend would apply. Guests can pay by cash or card. More info here.

We either use our own glassware or hire this from a reputable supplier, we will let you know if glassware will be delivered separately. We do not use disposables unless requested. We can discuss hiring in a premium range of glassware if this would suit your event needs.

Our Booking Fee is £300 inc VAT. Your booking fee secures your date reservation, at least one senior member of the Sip ‘n’ Swig team, bar hire or structure sourcing as required (if an alternative structure is required to those that we provide, additional costs may be incurred) and all consumables. We are a fully licensed and insured company. If your event requires a Temporary Events Notice (TEN) we can ensure that this is in place.
We do have package options on our website to include reception drinks, toast and table wine and water, however this is just an indication and we are very accustomed to creating bespoke packages which can include serving your provided reception drinks and wine. We can also just provide the evening cash bar where your guests will purchase their own drinks, with a minimum spend required (based on guest numbers but expect approx £12-15 per head). If we are serving your provided drinks, staff costs will apply. If you are providing an open bar where all of the guests drinks are on you, you will pay the minimum spend and then any additional bar spend will be invoiced following.

Event Bar Menu

See Example Menu for a guide on bar prices.

We are happy to include a site visit but as standard we don’t visit the venue before your event. We have run wedding event bars since 2017 and are confident that we can run a bar in any set up. Once booked in, we will ensure that we are aware of the bar and venue set up and any requirements.

We often work from a provided structure for weddings, whether that is a circular bar hired from your marquee company or a fixed bar structure at the venue, however if we are using one of our bars, there may be an option to deliver this before the day. We would normally arrive several hours before your guests to set up, there are occasions where we would set up before but this is not guaranteed.
