BARTENDER

One thing that a ton of weddings and events look for are bartenders, but what do you do when a lot of your guests don’t drink or can’t have any alcohol? Coffee is a great alternative to alcohol and it doesn’t have to be an either/or choice, we like to work with the bartenders to make great alcoholic coffee drinks. An espresso martini is an amazing drink that will keep guests awake and in the party mood long into the night. Another drink that I see guests like to have is coffee or cold brew and Bailey’s. We are fun and like to make delicious coffee so that whatever drink that your guests want to make, you know it’s gonna taste good.

Drinks that are an alcohol alternative but still make you feel like you’re drinking a cocktail is a Mocktail. Mocktails are drinks that replicate cocktails, but instead of alcohol in the drink, it is replaced with coffee, such as, espressso or concentrated cold Brew. Some of our favorite mocktails are the Espresso Tonic, made with Tonic Water, simple syrup, and Espresso served over ice. Another favorite of ours is the Coffee Mule, made with Fever Tree Ginger Beer, concentrated cold brew, and lime juice that is served over ice. If you dont have guests that want cocktail replica’s or cocktails themselves, then that is where our Espresso Bar shines making espresso drinks down the board like Mocha’s, Lattes, Cappuccinos, and we even have Signature Flavored Latte’s that you as the host get to choose for us to carry.

If you’re going to have the cocktail bar alongside our Espresso Bar, then we’d recommend getting festive and having our Homemade Eggnog and mixing rum with it or you can get creative and add bourbon to your mocha, or there’s always the classic Espresso Martini. We like to have fun with our service and offerings, so if you’re guests have any other cocktail ideas that they want to mix with coffee, then we are always ready to help them make that drink spectacular.

WEDDING VENUES: HIDDEN OAKS

One thing we like to do is write about venues that we have served at, but we wanted to take a moment and write about a venue that we would like to serve at someday. The Hidden Oaks in Rancho Cucamonga is a beautiful venue located in Riverside County nestled away in the Inland Empire.

This outdoor venue has beautiful landscaping with old adobe brick walls, including their archway with a large bell in the middle. Their abundance of large trees provides this whimsical feeling like you’ve been transported to a place seen in fantasy movies while providing a covering of natural shade. The large reception area is surrounded with more of that adobe brick wall and nicely trimmed bushes. As the sun goes down, lights strung from one archway to the next makes the adobe old timey feels turn into a magical experience. Despite the beauty that this venue has to offer, another thing that we really like about this venue is that it is really affordable.

This venue is a faith-based Christ focused organization and with our coffee catering company being rooted in the love that is only found at the foot of the cross of Christ, this is a perfect match. With this being a Christ focused venue, this means that there is no alcohol permitted, but all the more reason to have a coffee and espresso cart pumping out some of the best coffee drinks you’ve had at your wedding. Day or night, our beautifully rustic coffee cart would really flow well with the magical aesthetic feels of this venue.

As a coffee catering company that is based in the Inland Empire, we feel it is our duty to provide excellent Specialty Coffee to weddings happening in our hometown. Having Specialty Coffee, or third wave coffee, at your wedding creates a unique experience you cant replicate with anything else.
