Mix It Up
| Q | We're creating our wedding entirely ourselves, from hiring tents and teepees, to portable loos and mobile bar hire. What do we need to consider when providing beverages for our guests? |
| A | Scott Wright says: Creating a memorable and exciting experience is the key to planning the perfect event with a mobile bar. Imagine bespoke cocktails served by professional bartenders in a stylish setup that complements your event's theme, whether it's an intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, a mobile bar is the key to unlocking a truly unforgettable experience. Here are some top tips for planning the perfect event with the help of a mobile bar... Understanding your audience: Before you start planning the logistics, think about your guests, are they craft cocktail enthusiasts, or do they prefer classic beverages with a modern twist? Understanding your audience is essential for tailoring the drinks menu and the bar's theme. Create a drinks menu that speaks to your guests' preferences. Signature cocktails inspired by the event's theme can be a real conversation starter. For example, a tropical-themed party might feature rum-based cocktails, while a corporate event could showcase sophisticated gin and tonic variations. Location, location, location: Where you place your mobile bar can make or break the event's flow. The bar should be accessible but not obstructive, ensuring guests can mingle and enjoy themselves without crowding. Scout your location early and identify the best spot for the bar. Consider areas with good lighting and accessibility while keeping in mind how the bar's setup will enhance, not detract from, the atmosphere. For outdoor events, ensure the bar is weatherproof and strategically placed for convenience. A personal touch: One of the biggest draws of a mobile bar is the opportunity to customise it to reflect your event's personality. From branded glassware to signature cocktails, personalisation can elevate the guest experience. Think about adding unique touches that align with your theme. Branded cups, napkins, or even cocktail names that reference inside jokes or milestones can make your event truly one-of-a-kind. The bar itself can also be styled to match your aesthetic, whether that's sleek and modern or vintage chic. |

A Little Change With Big Impact
| Q | What is your advice on planning a sustainable wedding? |
| A | Debbie Turner says: Start by discussing your eco requirements with your venue. They're increasingly responding to demand for more sustainable weddings so find out what their green credentials are. Sea Change can supply eco-friendly wine – our prosecco is perfect for your toasts, and our comprehensive range offers ideal food and wine pairings for your wedding breakfast. You'll be supporting the ocean and its incredible marine life with every bottle.

We also cater for non-drinkers with Sea Change Free, a 0% sparkling; perfect for guests who choose to avoid alcohol but don't want to miss out on that celebratory glass of bubbly. Other sustainable swaps include digital invites, vintage or preloved outfits, antique or synthetic diamonds, eco favours, hiring room and table decorations, and nailing that dream wedding album shot with biodegradable confetti! There are so many sustainable swaps that can be made for weddings, and so much more choice than ever before! Go on – make a little change for a big impact. |
