Hot To Trot

We hear a lot behind the bar 😂
Bartenders are basically unlicensed therapists serving emotional support beverages.

One of our recent clients told us they originally didn’t understand our pricing. They spent weeks shopping around before eventually circling back to us after running into poor communication, lack of creativity, getting ghosted, little to no reviews, and services that felt far less polished than what they were hoping for.

This year alone, Hot To Trot has stepped in to rescue three separate events after previously booked bartending services completely backfired.

The truth is, your bartending service should be one of the most experience driven vendors at your event. The bar sets the tone. It revives stale energy, creates conversation, and becomes the one place nearly every guest visits multiple times throughout the event.

No other vendor interacts with your guests quite like your bartenders do in the name of connection.

We arrive long before the party starts and often long after many vendors have wrapped up. Creating drinks is only part of what we do. We’re hyping people up, reading the room, maintaining energy, creating connection, and helping shape the atmosphere of your celebration. We loosen things up and make people laugh.

And hearing things like:
“OMG these are incredible.”
“You guys are amazing.”
“You’re rockstars.”
“This is SO cute!!”
“Thank you for being here, worth your weight in gold!”

…makes every exhausting event day worth it ❤️‍🔥

One of the most perplexing statements we get in an inquiry is “we will have 150 guests but about 30 are children and 30 don’t drink”.

So you mean to tell me you’re throwing a party where 40% of your guests are excluded from one of the most interactive, fun and flavorful elements of the day?

Whether you love it or hate it, there is a major mocktail movement and sober is trending. After so many years of folks who opted out of an alcoholic beverage being limited to a soft drink, lemonade, tea or water the times have changed. Pregnancy, being underage, religion or just not loving the taste of alcohol are all reason enough to not drink but every individual deserves to feel included in the celebration and have something special!

We believe in inclusivity and we want every single guest to be able to comfortably approach the bar and feel seen. We want every single guest to enjoy the party, feel relaxed and like they are part of the days magic because they are. 🪩🎊

It’s just about that time to belly up to the bar. Starting this weekend we have events booked for the next ten weeks straight with no break. 😮‍💨

Buckle up because ‘26 is going to be a remarkable one! ❤️‍🔥
