3. Choose Your Location in Massachusetts and Beyond

The location of your event plays a significant role in bar planning. Whether it's an outdoor wedding in a picturesque Massachusetts garden or a chic indoor corporate event, our mobile bar can adapt to any setting.


4. Select Your Beverage Menu

Crafting a diverse and appealing beverage menu is key to satisfying your guests. Consider offering a mix of signature cocktails, mocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options.

It's essential to adhere to local regulations regarding alcohol service. Make sure all bartenders are certified and knowledgeable about responsible serving practices. The Wandering Pour is TIPS certified and insured, ensuring peace of mind for you and your guests.
