A Holiday Industry Celebration with Dana Marie Weddings, Ocean State Diamond, and The Wandering Pour

As the year winds down and the holiday season begins to sparkle, there is something so special about coming together as an industry to celebrate creativity, collaboration, and community. The Jingle and Mingle event in Providence RI was exactly that. A festive, thoughtfully curated gathering for wedding and event professionals to toast the end of another incredible year and kick off the most magical season.

Hosted at the stunning Ocean State Diamond and organized by the ever talented Dana Marie Weddings, this holiday celebration brought together some of the best in the wedding and events industry across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Wandering Pour was honored to be invited to host the bar and serve seasonal cocktails and mocktails that embodied the spirit of the season while keeping inclusion front and center.

A Glimmering Holiday Venue at Ocean State Diamond

Ocean State Diamond was the perfect setting for a holiday industry celebration. Located in Providence RI, the showroom was glimmering and shining bright, with stunning engagement rings and wedding bands sparkling in every case. The space felt festive, elegant, and welcoming, making it an ideal backdrop for connection and celebration.

Whether you are just beginning your engagement journey or looking for something timeless, Ocean State Diamond offers something for everyone. Ken and Anthony, the experts behind the brand, are known for their personalized approach and deep knowledge. They guide couples through the engagement ring and wedding band process with care, expertise, and genuine excitement. Getting engaged is one of life’s most meaningful milestones, and having trusted professionals by your side makes all the difference.

Dana Marie Weddings Sets the Tone

Dana Marie Weddings curated a spectacular event that was buzzing with excitement from start to finish. The room was packed with local wedding and event professionals, all eager to connect, celebrate, and close out the year together. From the flow of the evening to the thoughtful vendor selections, every detail reflected Dana’s signature style and commitment to excellence.

Events like Jingle and Mingle are a reminder of how powerful community is within the wedding industry. When planners, designers, photographers, caterers, and beverage professionals come together, the energy is unmatched. These are the relationships that elevate events and create unforgettable experiences for couples and hosts alike.

The Wandering Pour Holiday Bar Experience

The Wandering Pour was thrilled to bring the bar to life for this festive evening. As a mobile bar serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island, we specialize in creating elevated beverage experiences that feel seamless, inclusive, and thoughtfully designed for every guest.

For Jingle and Mingle, we rolled in our beloved Yoshi tap cart. Since being finished this past winter, Yoshi has been rolling all over the state and quickly becoming a favorite. With its sleek gold wheel and two tap tower, Yoshi is equal parts functional and eye catching. It works beautifully as an additional bar for weddings in Boston ballrooms, a fun focal point for bachelorette parties on Cape Cod, and the perfect bar setup for bridal showers and wedding showers in places like Concord MA.

Seasonal Cocktails and Mocktails for Everyone

Inclusion is part of our love language, and having something for everyone is a must at every event we serve. For this holiday celebration, we featured two seasonal favorites that could easily be enjoyed with or without alcohol.

Guests sipped on a festive holiday sangria filled with bright seasonal flavors and a Pear Gin Fizz that quickly became a crowd favorite. The fizz was especially fun because it could be recreated as a mocktail using Ritual Zero Proof Gin, one of our favorite non alcoholic spirit brands. The result was a drink that felt celebratory, balanced, and thoughtful, with just enough bubbly to keep things light and bright.

Offering mocktails alongside cocktails is something we prioritize at every event, from engagement parties and bridal showers to weddings and corporate celebrations. Everyone deserves a beautiful drink in hand, no matter their preference.

Grazing, Sweets, and Stunning Details

Bella Confections created a gorgeous grazing table and dessert display that guests were raving about all night. The spread was as beautiful as it was delicious, pairing perfectly with the seasonal drinks and festive atmosphere.

Jennifer Manville captured the event flawlessly, photographing every detail with an eye for warmth, movement, and connection. From the sparkle of the rings to the clink of glasses and genuine laughter throughout the room, her images truly tell the story of the evening.

Why Choosing the Right Wedding Vendors Matters

One of the most powerful takeaways from events like Jingle and Mingle is just how important it is to choose vendors who align with your vision, values, and energy. When you surround yourself with professionals who genuinely care about your experience, everything feels easier and more intentional.

From finding the perfect engagement ring at Ocean State Diamond, to working with a planner like Dana Marie Weddings who understands your priorities, to selecting a mobile bar that values hospitality, inclusion, and efficiency, every choice shapes your celebration.
