Shake and Gather LLC

Business description

Shake & Gather LLC is an LGBTQ-owned mobile bartending company serving weddings throughout Chicago and the surrounding Chicagoland area. From your first cocktail as newlyweds to the final toast, we bring thoughtful preparation, welcoming service and a polished bar setup to your celebration.

Choose the beverage service that fits your wedding: beer, wine and hard seltzers with Pour; classic mixed drinks with Pour & Mixer; or two signature cocktails, house-made syrups, fresh juices and premium garnishes with Craft. Planning a daytime celebration? Our Brunch package features mimosa and Bloody Mary service.

Our full-service packages include four hours of beverage service, professional bartending staff, a mobile bar and tools, setup and breakdown, package-specific supplies, disposable serviceware, ice and a standard printed beverage menu. We also provide a planning consultation and an alcohol shopping list to help you prepare.

Shake & Gather operates as a dry-hire bar service: you or your venue provide the alcohol, and we provide the agreed bartending service, equipment and supplies. Staffing and final pricing are tailored to your guest count, drink menu, venue and timeline.

Every couple deserves to feel celebrated. We welcome weddings of all kinds and look forward to creating a beverage experience that feels like you.

What makes us different?

Personal touches, thoughtful planning and warm hospitality are at the heart of Shake & Gather. We help you choose a beverage package that suits your celebration, plan your alcohol shopping and coordinate the details of your bar service. Whether you envision a simple beer-and-wine reception or a signature cocktail menu, we bring an organized, welcoming approach—and proudly celebrate every couple.
