Meet Happy Hospitality

Professional experience, quality ingredients and genuinely personal service.

Happy Hospitality is a premium mobile bar built on a simple idea: your celebration deserves the same craft, care and attention to detail you’d expect from a great cocktail bar, wherever it happens to be.

Experience & expertise

Over a decade behind the bar.

Happy Hospitality is founded and run by a hospitality professional with more than ten years’ experience, from gastropubs, cocktail bars and rooftop bars to fine dining and events. That experience shows in everything, from how the drinks taste to how quickly your guests are served.

Fresh, quality ingredients

Fresh juice, proper garnishes, no bottled shortcuts.

We hand-press citrus, make our own syrups and use fresh, high-quality produce, sourced locally wherever practical. We care about how every drink tastes and how it looks, because a great cocktail is both.

Passion & personalisation

No two celebrations the same.

We love creating memorable, one-of-a-kind events, so every package is built around your exact requirements rather than a fixed template. Pricing is transparent, with no unexpected costs, and your menu is uniquely designed, named and styled for your day.

How it works

From first hello to last orders.

Booking a bar shouldn’t feel like a second job. Here’s how simple it is.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your event

    Fill in our quick quote form or send us an email. We’ll ask about your date, venue, guest numbers and the kind of drinks you love.

  2. 2

    We design your bar

    We’ll be in touch within one working day to discuss your ideas and begin tailoring your perfect cocktail experience. From there, we’ll create your personalised menu and quote, followed by exact bottle requirements once everything is agreed.

  3. 3

    We bring your bar to life

    We arrive ahead of your event to prepare and set up your bar, ensuring everything is ready before your first guests arrive. From the first cocktail to the final pour, we deliver exceptional service with care, skill and attention to detail.

  4. 4

    You enjoy the party

    We pack down quietly and leave everything as we found it. All that’s left is the photos.

How the drinks work

You buy the alcohol. We do everything else.

We prepare what you already own. As standard, Happy Hospitality doesn’t sell or supply alcohol: once your menu is agreed we send a detailed shopping list with exact quantities, so you buy only what’s needed and keep whatever’s left. Thinking of a paid bar instead? Selling alcohol is possible for the right event, but it needs a licence and careful planning, so talk to us early.

Step one

A shopping list, not guesswork

Exact bottle quantities calculated for your chosen cocktails and guest numbers, helping minimise waste and unnecessary expense.

  • Quantities matched to your guests
  • Supermarket-friendly brand suggestions
  • Alcohol-free options included
Transparent pricing

One clear price, no surprises

You buy your drinks at shop prices, which usually costs far less than a venue bar, and our quote covers everything we bring. No hidden extras, no unexpected costs.

  • One clear price for our service
  • Leftovers are yours to keep
  • Usually no licence needed for a private party
On the day

We take it from there

Have the alcohol delivered to the venue or hand it over when we arrive. We chill, prep, build the bar and serve.

  • Bar, bartenders and all the kit
  • Set-up and pack-down included
  • A unique, personalised and beautifully styled menu for every event
  • Happy, professional bartenders
  • Public liability insurance
  • Detailed shopping list
  • Set-up & pack-down
  • Bar tools & equipment
  • Fresh ingredients
  • Printed menu design

Good to know

Questions we’re asked a lot.

Do you supply the alcohol, or do we?
You do, as standard. Happy Hospitality doesn’t sell or supply alcohol for most events. Once your menu is agreed we send a detailed shopping list with exact quantities, so you buy only what’s needed and keep whatever’s left. We bring everything else: the bar, the bartenders and all the equipment.
Do you provide glassware?
Absolutely! We provide everything needed for your cocktail experience, from professional bar equipment and glassware to fresh ingredients, mixers and ice. All you need to supply is the alcohol – we’ll take care of the rest!
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and our bartenders are trained professionals. If your venue needs to see our documents, just ask and we’ll send them over.
Do we need any kind of licence to have a bar at our event?
Usually not. Because you supply the drinks and they’re free to your guests, a private event doesn’t normally need a licence. If you’d like drinks to be sold, that’s possible for the right event but needs a licence and careful planning, so tell us early. If your venue has its own rules, we’ll point you in the right direction.
How many bartenders will we need?
As a rough guide, one bartender comfortably serves cocktails to 40–50 guests. For a wedding of 120, we’d usually recommend two or three so nobody waits long. That said, more complex cocktail menus may require additional bartenders to ensure the same high standard of service. We’ll recommend the right number when we quote.
What do you need from the venue?
All we need is a suitable space to set up our bar. Access to running water is preferable, but not always essential. As every event is different, we’ll discuss any specific requirements with you in advance to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.
Can we customise our cocktail menu?
Absolutely! Every Happy Hospitality cocktail menu is personalised to your event. Whether you have a few favourite cocktails in mind or want to explore something completely different, we’ll work with you to create a menu that suits your tastes, occasion and chosen package.
Can you cater for non-drinkers and allergies?

Absolutely! At Happy Hospitality, we believe alcohol-free cocktails deserve just as much creativity and attention as their alcoholic counterparts. Rather than simply substituting spirits with 0.0% alternatives, we love developing unique, flavourful mocktails from the ground up, tailored to your event. Of course, if you’d prefer an alcohol-free version of a cocktail, we’re more than happy to accommodate that too!

Let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements when booking, and we’ll work with you to create suitable options.

When does the bar close?

The drinks keep flowing until either your agreed cocktail quantities are served or your booked service time comes to an end – whichever comes first!

If the cocktails run out but there’s still time on the clock, we’re happy to continue serving your own drinks upon request.

Having too much fun to call it a night? We understand! Where availability allows, we’re happy to extend your service beyond the originally agreed hours. Additional time is charged separately and must be agreed and paid for before the extension begins.

What happens if we have alcohol left over?
It’s yours to keep! As Happy Hospitality operates on a dry-hire basis, you purchase and own the alcohol for your event. We’ll provide carefully calculated bottle requirements in advance to help minimise unnecessary purchases, but anything left over remains yours.
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier, the better! Particularly for weekends, weddings and busy seasonal periods. That said, we’re always happy to consider last-minute enquiries, so don’t hesitate to get in touch. Availability will depend on your date and event requirements.
How far do you travel?
We cover all of Northern Ireland and regularly travel further afield for weddings and larger events. Travel within our local area is included, and we’ll clearly show any travel costs on your quote.
How do we book, and what about deposits?
Once you’re happy with your quote, a small deposit secures your date, with the balance due shortly before the event. Full terms, including our cancellation policy, are sent with every quote.
