Why choosing professional mobile bartending elevates your celebration

We hear it all the time from Oregon couples planning weddings and events:

“Our caterer said they can handle drinks too, and it’s the same price.”

Totally fair!

 But here’s the thing: while the price might look similar, what you’re actually getting couldn’t be more different.

Caterers serve drinks.
Mobile bartenders create bar experiences.

Let’s break down what that really means.

🍽️ Caterers Focus on Food

Caterers are experts in the kitchen — their main goal is getting your meal out hot, beautiful, and on time. 

When it comes to drinks, it’s usually a side service: a few options, basic setup, and limited attention to the bar itself.

Common limitations with caterers’ drink service:

• Beer and wine only (sometimes champagne)
  
  

• Minimal bar setup (think: a table and ice bucket)
  
  

• No customization or signature cocktails
  
  

It’s quick and convenient — but it’s not designed to be the centerpiece of your next celebration in the PNW.

🍸 Mobile Bartenders Focus on the Experience

At Cypress Hollow Mobile Bartending, the bar is our main event. 

Every detail is designed around how your guests interact, celebrate, and enjoy the night.

Here’s what professional mobile bartending looks like:

• ✨ Custom cocktails tailored to your theme, season, or favorite flavors
  
  

• 🧊 Professional setups with tools, ice, and bar flow for smooth service
  
  

• 💬 Planning support — we help create your drink menu, shopping list, and portion estimates
  
  

• 🖤 BYOB flexibility, so you can control exactly what’s served and save money buying your own
  
  

• 📸 Aesthetic setups that fit your event style — not just a table with bottles
  
  

We don’t just pour drinks — we design an intentional, effortless, and photo-worthy bar experience.

💡 Why Alcohol Isn’t Included

Our pricing doesn’t include alcohol for a reason: flexibility. 

Every couple’s preferences are different, and by letting you supply your own beverages, you can:

• Choose exactly what’s served
  
  

• Stick to your budget
  
  

• Avoid the markups caterers often add
  
  

with our BYOB Bar Service, we guide you through every step so you buy just the right amount — not too little, not too much. 

And if you already have a bar setup, our Bartender-Only Service ensures professional bartenders keep drinks flowing smoothly and your guests happy.

✨ The Takeaway

Caterers make sure everyone’s fed.
Mobile bartenders make sure everyone’s having fun.

If you want your bar to feel like part of the celebration — not just an add-on, a dedicated bartending team makes all the difference.
