ADK Traveling Bar was amazing!

My husband and I loved having ADK Traveling Bar at our wedding! Annie was super responsive to our emails all throughout the planning process and really made us feel like our wedding was a priority to her and her team. She was flexible when we wanted to tweak a few details just a few days prior to the wedding, which we really appreciate! The team was professional and efficient, and we highly recommend them if you're looking for a bartender for your event! Their custom wooden bar is beautiful, and we'd also recommend upgrading to this if you have the option! It was such a nice touch and looked amazing in pictures against the backdrop of our outdoor wedding!

Great service, gorgeous bar, one small mishap

We loved the adk bar and the aesthetic that it provided for our wedding! The servers were kind and provided friendly service to our guests. We were only bummed about one thing… we had opted to add on the “grab and go” canoe which was filled with ice and cans of beer and seltzer. We thought this was self service for guests to come up and grab a can if they didn’t want to wait in line for a glass of wine or cocktail and we were disappointed when at the start of cocktail hour we saw a line for the bar and no one using the canoe. We were then told by the ADK bar staff that they can’t allow guests to grab their own can, they have to wait in the same line and then tell the server which can they want and the server has to hand them the can. I understand it comes down to liquor licenses but it would’ve been nice to know up front, we wouldn’t have paid extra for this feature.

Perftect: Easy to work with and helped me so much along the way

Anna and her team were absolutely incredible. Anna helped walk me through applying for additional paperwork which ended up being much easier than anticipated. Her team was bright and friendly and helped make our wedding so special. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and have recommended them to the venue where we got married, as well as friends getting married in the area. If you are planning a DIY wedding in the Hudson Valley area, hire ADK Traveling Bar!

Best Bar Service Ever!

Annie and her staff with ADK Traveling Bar are THE BEST! I am soooo incredibly thankful that I stumbled upon her company when searching for bar service from out of state. From the moment I contacted Annie, she was professional, helpful and easy to work with. She provided me with excellent information, tips, and step by step instructions after booking to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. Her staff was a pleasure to have working our event and took care of EVERYTHING we needed. Our guests were happy and ADK Traveling Bar made our backyard wedding so carefree and enjoyable!

Couldn't have asked for better!

Anna and her team were absolutely FABULOUS. They stayed in constant communication, answered all of my questions promptly and accurately, and provided EXCELLENT service. We literally could not have asked for a better bartender. The ladies who tended bar at the wedding were also excellent and incredibly professional. Would definitely hire them again!

Everyone loved it!

Annie and her team were amazing! Annie was very responsive and kept in communication through the entire planning process. She was very accommodating to changes. The contract was spelled out perfectly and gave a multiple options/add one that we did not think of. You get great bang for you buck and the bar they bring is super cute. The bartenders were amazing and super friendly and fun! I would love to have them back someday for a party!

Made our day unique!

Annie and the ADK Traveling Bar was the perfect addition to our wedding at The Farmer’s Museum in Cooperstown. We knew from the start that we did not want a cookie-cutter wedding at a banquet hall that does everything for you. We wanted it to be a reflection of us and our personalities. We aren’t big drinkers, and we didn’t want the highlight of our wedding to be the booze, but we wanted something that would be fun and allow us to be creative. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision! We were able to choose a selection of beer, wine, and cider that reflected us - and we even got creative with some signature “Cox-tails.” Annie was there every step of the way, and VERY helpful and responsive when our venue was giving us a little bit of trouble over the permit. You can have ADK Traveling Bar do as much of it as you want, but we enjoyed playing an active role in picking out our mixers, garnishes, cups, and straws. Packages are customizable based on your needs! Annie traveled quite a distance to our venue, and we are so happy she did! I think people really enjoyed the personal touches that went into our wedding day, and we are very happy with our decision to use the ADK Traveling Bar! The only complaint we have is that we can’t do it all over again!

Note: the price below is just an estimate of what we spent on ADK Traveling Bar, based on the package and add-ons we chose, and does not include the cost of beer, wine, liquor, soft drinks/juice/water, garnishes, or glass rentals through our caterer.

My husband and I wanted a simple bar set up with just beer, wine and one simple cocktail- but even with that simple set up we started to think about how much work it might be to keep the ice refreshed, and make sure everyone was getting served an appropriate amount...Enter ADK Traveling Bar. ADK was the perfect fit for our wedding. Their service was friendly, professional and accommodating. The two ladies that bartended on the day of the event were so friendly and sweet, and also made great drinks! I would absolutely recommend ADK Traveling Bar whether you're having a full bar, or a simple bar like we had! Well worth it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
