Wedding Coffee Bars

A COFFEE BAR
AT YOUR WEDDING.

the part people talk about later

A mobile espresso bar for weddings across Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Indianapolis, and Indiana. Real espresso drinks, made to order, by baristas who have worked enough receptions to know when the room needs them. Not an urn of drip coffee going cold next to the cake.

WHEN TO SERVE IT

The coffee bar is a timing decision more than a menu decision. Put it in the wrong hour and it sits. Put it in the right one and there is a line all night. Here is where it usually lands.

  • Cocktail hour. Gives the people who aren't drinking something to hold and somewhere to stand. Nobody should have to explain why their hands are empty at your wedding.
  • With dessert. The classic. Espresso and cake belong together, and it wakes the room up right before dancing.
  • Late night. Our favorite. Around the time the energy dips, an espresso bar puts an hour back into the night.
  • Morning after. Brunch service for the people who stayed at the venue and need to be human again.

WHAT WE BRING

A full mobile espresso bar and the crew to run it. Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, and espresso, hot or iced, made one at a time. Oat milk standard. Decaf always available, because half the wedding is somebody's aunt who would love one but can't sleep.

We can build a signature drink for the two of you and name it whatever you want, print your names or the date on the cups, and match the bar to the rest of the room. We show up early, set up before guests arrive, serve, and leave the space clean.

WEDDING QUESTIONS

How much does a wedding coffee bar cost?

Our event minimum is $500, with a one hour minimum service window. Most weddings run two to four hours of service. The number moves with guest count, how long we pour, the menu, travel, and any add-ons. Every quote is custom and comes back within one business day.

How long should the coffee bar run?

Two to three hours covers most receptions. If you want it open through dessert and dancing, three is comfortable. Shorter windows work when you want it tied to one moment, like the cake or the last hour.

How many guests can you serve?

From small ceremonies of 25 to receptions in the several hundreds. One barista serves roughly 60 to 80 drinks an hour; past that we add staff and, for the biggest rooms, a second bar. Tell us your headcount and we'll tell you what it needs.

What do you need from the venue?

Roughly 8 feet by 6 feet of flat space and a dedicated 20 amp circuit within about 50 feet of the bar. We bring our own water. Outdoor and barn venues without power are fine, we bring a generator. We confirm all of it with your venue ahead of the day.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer and fall weekends go first. Three to six months out is comfortable. If your date is sooner, ask anyway, it comes down to whether the team and the gear are free.

Can you make a drink just for us?

Yes, and it's the most fun part of the job. Tell us what the two of you actually drink and we'll build something around it, name it, and put it on the menu board.
