Introduction
With over 20 years in the hospitality industry we combine a passion for creating quality cocktails, helping you plan your wedding, providing knowledgeable waitstaff and outstanding customer service. As a mixologist most recently I was the mastermind behind a beautiful cocktail menu made from scratch ingredients. I love to provide a customized experience. Every event I’ve done is unique in its own way. That’s why you should have cocktails inspired by “you” utilizing the local fresh ingredients the Central Coast has to offer. We will work together to customize cocktail names to bring the whole event together to wow your friends and family. My wife Aubrey has been coordinating wedding’s for over 10 years. As a bride planning your wedding we want you to be a guest at your own wedding. We handle all the details from the day you decide to work with us until the last minute the day of your wedding. We are known as Mr. & Mrs. accountable. We show up early and stay late to everything we do. We understand some of the old school philosophies my grandfather taught me like work ethic, following through with what you say you’re going to do and just simply showing up on time. Let’s work together and elevate your next event to the next level. Additional products and services we offer: -Glassware rental pickup -Disposable glassware delivered to your event -Ice delivered to your event -Crystal clear craft cocktail ice -Event staff to help with setup, service & cleanup Discounts for booking multiple service! Many of our clients recognize the value in booking all of our services together. From wedding coordinator, waitstaff & bartending services we can cover it all for you.

There are not enough words of PRAISE for Brian Gardner. If not for him our entire event would have probably evaporated into a pool of my tears!! To say he saved the day is an understatement. Brian and Margaret provided EXCEPTIONAL “wait staff” – in professional attire. They looked wonderful. From preplanning to setup to cleanup, he was not only monitoring EVERY DETAIL in my event, he was also watching out for me! When I was busy making the rounds greeting my guests, Brian discreetly tapped me on the shoulder and told me to go eat something – what a nice man. THANK YOU, Brian! If you are in need of help with your event, look no more! You have found the best … experienced, knowledgeable, generous and kind - wrapped in professionalism. I highly recommend DARING TO DREAM EVENTS
