About
Hi, I’m Marina, owner of Cantinera. I believe your bar should feel like part of your celebration—not just a place to grab a drink. Whether I’m serving handcrafted margaritas at a corporate happy hour or creating a custom cocktail menu for a private celebration, my goal is the same: balanced cocktails that aren’t overly sweet, warm hospitality, and a personalized bar experience your guests will remember. I love bringing each event to life through thoughtful details, whether that means incorporating your brand colors, matching your party theme, creating signature drink names, or customizing the look of the bar to fit your celebration. Every event has its own personality, and I believe the bar should too. Inspired by the tradition of Mexican hospitality, I’m committed to welcoming people warmly, serving with care, and making every guest feel at home. I’m fully insured with both general and liquor liability insurance, RBS certified, and dedicated to providing responsible, professional service.

Marina was amazing! We hosted a corporate event at a corporate headquarters location, and she brought the entire vibe of our event with her... she was on time, the setup was super cute and professional, cost was reasonable for the above and beyond service she provided. Not to mention, she makes some AWESOME batched cocktails! Overall it was a flawless experiencce. Being over my head planning an event, she took all of the stress out of the process for me. I will definitely be using Cantinera (and Marina) again!

Cantinera brought a whole vibe to my daughter’s quinceañera! They honestly saved the night as our caterers came almost 2 hours late. They brought positive energy and delicious cocktails and gave our guests a whole experience rather than just pushing drinks. I can’t tell you how many guests complimented us on our choice of bartenders. I cannot thank them enough. The whole process of finding a bartender, curating cocktail list, and shopping list was made stress free by Marina. 10/10
