    The best of the best!

    Ryan is truly the best of the best. He's incredibly easy to work with, very very skilled, great with people, and an expert bartender all around. His services are priced fairly, and he's always happy to work together to make every wedding a success. We cannot recommend him enough!

    A lovely addition to our wedding

    We hired cocktail collective for our wedding and everything went perfectly. Ryan and his team were friendly and fun. Multiple guests mentioned the drinks were fantastic and it was a great menu. We knew drinks would be a big part of our day and knowing that cocktail collective had everything under control was really reassuring. Something I definitely didn’t need to worry about during the reception!

From our initial conversations through the big day, they communicated with clarity and took time to understand exactly what we envisioned, never rushing us through the planning process. They created a specialized drink menu that perfectly matched our vibe and worked collaboratively with us to stay within budget without compromising quality. Their bartenders were skilled and engaging, keeping the energy flowing throughout the night. We appreciated how they balanced our expectations with creative suggestions, resulting in an experience that felt authentic to us.

    Awesome bartending service!

    We hired The Cocktail Collective NC for a large family dinner (80 guests) and again for pool side bartending during the day and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Ryan and his team communicated with us every step of the way, answering all our questions quickly and clearly so we felt confident in our decisions. On the day of the events, they showed up early to get everything set up and ran the bar beautifully for five hours without us having to worry about a thing. The cocktails were excellent, and our guests kept telling us how well taken care of they felt throughout the night. Ryan was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and we'd highly recommend The Cocktail Collective NC to any couple looking for a bar service that's organized, attentive, and truly cares about making your day special.

    The best vendor

    Working with The Cocktail Collective NC was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Ryan and his team demonstrated genuine care by conducting a personal cocktail tasting with my clients to nail their specialty drink, which really set them apart from other bars we've partnered with over the years. Their communication was fast and efficient throughout the planning process, making coordination seamless and stress-free. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations-they delivered exceptional drinks and service that left a lasting impression on our clients' special day. What impressed me most was how they went above and beyond to cover every detail, ensuring nothing was overlooked. I'd highly recommend The Cocktail Collective NC to any couple looking for a bar service that truly cares about making their wedding memorable.


My name is Ryan, and I'm the Bar Manager and Lead Bartender at a luxury wedding venue in North Carolina. I manage 3–5 weddings each week, overseeing premium bar service for events ranging from $18,000 to $80,000, with bar packages valued between $8,000 and $25,000
This answer is the same in all business with low startup costs. There’s always going to be “the $100 guy”, the one who just started and uses other people pictures for their advertising pretending to be knowledgeable. I see it all the time. Your wedding day is not something you can redo. My company, my bartenders and myself have years of experience in the wedding business, my wife is a wedding planner who gets featured in magazines, I am the guy who will prepare for all aspects and make your event perfect. I will not be the cheapest quote you get but the one who you can count on. Cheers 🥂
We do events from Charleston, to the outer banks, and all over Charlotte. My packages are all fully customized to fit your event and travel expenses are minimum.
