    Fully Raised the Bar

    Raising the Bar was absolutely phenomenal and one of the easiest wedding vendors we worked with. Communication leading up to the wedding was excellent. Our phone calls made us feel completely prepared and clear on what we needed to take care of versus what they would handle. On the wedding day, setup was prompt, service was wonderful with our guests, and Payge even lent a hand after the event. We heard so many compliments about the bar service, and our signature margarita and strawberry lemonade were both huge hits. What really stood out was how attentive and helpful the service was from beginning to end. We felt like they genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly, and that kind of care meant a lot to us. Professional, friendly, reliable, and willing to go above and beyond. We could not recommend Raising the Bar more highly.

    Fabulous drinks!

    Raising The Bar was an excellent choice for our wedding bar services and beverages. From the start, their communication was accessible, frequent, and friendly. The team was personable and efficient, ensuring our bar service ran smoothly. The drinks they provided were fantastic - our guests raved about the signature cocktails (especially the blueberry garden lemonade with a simple syrup she perfected!)

    Loved Raising the Bar

    Raising the Bar was a fantastic bar service for our DIY wedding. We had several hurdles to overcome, such as the venue requiring a specific State license to serve alcohol on location. Payge handled all the back and forth with ease and took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. Payge was enthusiastic, professional, self-sufficient, and personable. We would absolutely hire her again and recommend her services to anybody.


Dry hire services do not provide the alcohol. We only operate open bars meaning you are providing your guests their drinks for free/no cost.
We provide the service with certified bartender, equipment, bar rental, menu creation, guided shopping list, liquor & general liability insurance up to 2million dollars, cups, garnishes, straws, chilling tubs, bar tables.
