Bar Enhancements

Make the bar part of the experience.

Once you have selected a bar package, our team can help you explore ways to customize it for your event. The options below are some of the enhancements our clients request most often, but they are only a starting point.

If you have an idea that is not listed here, tell us. We are always excited to work with clients on something new.

Share what you have in mind when you reach out, and we will include enhancement options and pricing in your proposal.

Welcome guests with a drink from the moment they arrive instead of making them wait to visit the bar. Drinks may be passed by servers or displayed for guests to pick up as they enter.

Give dinner more of a fine-dining feel with table wine service. Our team will help determine the selections and staffing needed to offer wine throughout the meal.

Looking for a fun showstopper? Add a champagne tower to your celebration. Our team will review the setup, placement, and timing with you before the event.

Our team can pre-pour and distribute champagne, wine, or another approved beverage for a coordinated toast. Please note that we cannot pour or distribute shots.

Add one or more handcrafted cocktails to your bar menu. Our team can help you select or develop drinks that complement the event.

Build a bar around a particular drink or experience. Options may include a martini bar, bourbon tasting, mimosa bar, Bloody Mary bar, or dedicated mocktail bar.

Zero-Proof & Nonalcoholic Beverages

Thoughtful options for every guest.

Nonalcoholic drinks should not feel like an afterthought. Rosemary & Rye can add zero-proof cocktails to a traditional bar or create an entirely alcohol-free beverage experience.

Zero-Proof Cocktails

Add alcohol-free cocktails to your bar menu that feel just as considered as the drinks made with spirits.

Mocktail Bars

Create a dedicated mocktail bar with a selection of alcohol-free drinks developed for your event.

Frozen Nonalcoholic Drinks

Use our frozen drink machine for a refreshing alcohol-free option that works especially well for outdoor and warm-weather events.

Hydration & Beverage Stations

Offer fruit-infused water, sweet tea, unsweet tea, or other nonalcoholic beverages away from the main bar.

Events We Serve

Bar service for every occasion.

The bar should make sense for the way your guests are gathering. We adjust the package, staffing, and service plan around the event rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Large-Scale Bar Service

Planning a Festival or Large-Scale Event?

Large-scale events require careful planning around guest flow, bar placement, service speed, product quantities, and the infrastructure available at the site.

Our team can support the beverage operation from the early planning stages through the end of service. Depending on the event, we can provide full hosted service, drink-ticket service, or a cash bar. We can also develop premium batch cocktails and other drinks designed to be served efficiently without sacrificing quality.

Large-scale services may include
Bar Logistics & Event Consultation
Hosted, Ticketed & Cash Bar Options
Premium Batch Cocktails
Professional Bar Staffing
Bar Production Support
On-Site Service Management

The final plan will be developed around the venue, expected attendance, event schedule, and applicable service requirements.
