| Q | What are your suggestions for your all-important finishing touches? |
| A | Scott Wright says: Imagine bespoke cocktails served by professional bartenders in a stylish setup that complements your event's theme, whether it's an intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, a mobile bar is the key to unlocking a truly unforgettable experience. It's not just about the drinks, it's about creating an immersive experience that wows your guests from start to finish. Before you start planning the logistics, think about your guests. Are they craft cocktail enthusiasts, or do they prefer classic beverages with a modern twist? Understanding your audience is essential for tailoring the drink menu and the bar's theme. Create a drink menu that speaks to their preferences. Signature cocktails inspired by the event's theme can be a real conversation starter. For example, a tropical-themed party might feature rum-based cocktails, while a corporate event could showcase sophisticated gin and tonic variations. Where you place your mobile bar can make or break the event's f l ow. The bar should be accessible but not obstructive, ensuring guests can mingle and enjoy themselves without crowding. Scout your location early and identify the best spot for the bar. Consider areas with good lighting and accessibility while keeping in mind how the bar's setup will enhance, not detract from, the atmosphere. For outdoor events, ensure the bar is weatherproof and strategically placed for convenience. One of the biggest draws of a mobile bar is the opportunity to customise it to reflect your event's personality. From branded glassware to signature cocktails, personalisation can elevate the guest experience. Think about adding unique touches that align with your theme. Branded cups, napkins, or even cocktail names that reference inside jokes or milestones can make your event truly one-of-a-kind. The bar itself can also be styled to match your aesthetic, whether that's sleek and modern or vintage chic. |

| Q | What is your advice on planning an outdoor wedding? |
| A | William Coren says: Planning drinks for your outdoor wedding reception is crucial for creating an unforgettable experience. Think about these key considerations... •Guest preferences and dietary restrictions. Offer a diverse range of options, including sparkling wine, non-alcoholic alternatives, and cocktails to accommodate everyone. •Weather conditions. Adapt your drink selection based on the weather. Serve refreshing drinks like spritzers and fruity cocktails on hot summer days, and warm beverages like mulled wine for cooler weather. •Time and duration of the reception. Provide a variety of drinks to keep guests hydrated and refreshed throughout the event. Include non-alcoholic options alongside sparkling wine for responsible consumption. •Signature cocktails and personalisation. Collaborate with your mixologist or wine stockist to create signature cocktails that reflect your style as a couple, offering an exclusive and memorable experience. •Beverage service and presentation. Ensure you have suitable glassware, ice, garnishes and professional staff to manage the bar effectively. Use outdoor-friendly drinkware for safety and consider visually appealing drink stations. •Toasting and celebratory moments. Ensure an ample supply of sparkling wine for toasting moments and provide elegant glassware for a photogenic touch. House Coren is honoured to offer packages for outdoor receptions and would love to be part of your special day, providing exceptional sparkling wine made in England. Cheers to a wonderful wedding reception! |
