Booking basics
Mobile bartenders book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want a full package or dry hire. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

From the reviews
Emily & Brian with Wanderlust were some of our favorite vendors for our June, Columbia Gorge wedding! Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was organized, communicative, fair, and instrumental in helping finalize our drink options.
Above and Beyond!! Wanderlust and Emily were an absolute dream to work with. From the very beginning, her communication was fantastic, always clear, thoughtful, and timely. I came to Emily with a unique request, could we use fruit from my family’s orchard to create custom apricot cocktails for our wedding?
We used Wanderlust for our recent wedding reception in Hood River and loved our experience! Emily was timely and thorough in her correspondence and our day of service was fantastic. The converted horse trailer itself is unique and adds a fun design element.
Hiring Wanderlust was THE BEST decision for our wedding. They made our big day! We hired Emily & Brian of Wanderlust Mobile Bar for our wedding in August of 2024 in Bend, OR. Emily was amazing with communication and fine tuned every single detail to our exact vision.
Booking Wanderlust Mobile Bar for a wedding
Weddings come up for Wanderlust Mobile Bar — confirmed on their own site, so they'll know the rhythm of the day: cocktail hour hits all at once, then the bar settles into a steady hum until the last dance. Two numbers get your quote right. First, the staffing math: the standard rule is one bartender per 50–75 guests — so a 150-guest wedding usually means two to three bartenders, and going thin here is the classic cocktail-hour line mistake. Second, drinks per guest: plan on roughly two drinks in the first hour and one per hour after; a dry-hire bartender can turn that into an exact shopping list for your headcount so nothing runs out and nothing goes back to the store.
