About
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 PNW 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 Credentials: We carry general & liquor liability insurance.

Almost three years late on writing this review, but as we come to our third anniversary, we always remember how impactful Daring to Dreams was for our wedding. They seamlessly melded into our event, helping out with various things outside of bartending such as gathering people towards our additional cake, helping make announcements (our mics burnt out on the day!!), and generally ensuring people were having a great time! I cannot recommend them enough!!

My fiancé and I hired Brian and Aubrey as bartender and wait staff for our engagement party. They were extremely professional and absolutely outstanding. We had a completely stress-free party thanks to them. Brian helped us throughout the planning process. He helped us create specialty cocktails with our own custom names, and they were a huge hit at the party! He gave us a full shopping list and was very clear on what he would provide and what we needed to bring. His bar setup was very nice and everyone loved all the drinks he made, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Aubrey and Cohen helped us at the party as wait staff. I only had to explain the setup and the various food items once. They took care of setting up, serving appetizers, heating the entrees, serving and refilling waters and everything else that we needed. Aubrey also went the extra mile and brought my fiancé and I drinks because we were so busy entertaining our guests. We will definitely be hiring Brian and Aubrey for any of our future events, and I’m sure our friends will do the same. We are both so grateful that Brian and Aubrey took such good care of us, our parents and our guests. They made the party a huge success. We definitely recommend hiring them!

Details: Special event / party • Fewer than 50 guests • 2-4 • Pass hors d'oeuvres / serve food • Operate buffet • Setup / cleanup

We chose Daring to Dream Events to help us with bartending and wedding coordination for our wedding this summer. They exceeded our expectations in every way and I cannot recommend Brian (and Aubrey his wife who does wedding coordination with Daring to Dream Events) enough. Though you don’t necessarily need to hire both of them (you could just do bartending or wedding coordination), I’d highly recommend getting them both if you’re having a wedding. They work great as a team and are truly passionate about what they do. We felt their care and passion throughout our time working with them. For example, leading up to our wedding, Brian worked a ton with us to design a thoughtful set of “His” and “Hers” cocktails. On the day of, they were a complete hit with our guests, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Aubrey also connected with us multiple times to make sure we were ready for our big day. Each time we asked her a question, her answers were on point which helped us feel comfortable and confident in our plans. On the day of she hustled and got all of our details right. We were doing a particularly DIY wedding - so the fact that she was able to land all of the different requirements we had is no small feat. We had such a magical day and cannot recommend them enough. Whether you need incredible bartending or wedding coordination…you can’t go wrong with them.

Details: 101 - 125 guests • Wedding reception • Low key / casual • Public venue • Non-alcoholic beverages • Wine • Liquor / mixed drinks • Beer • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup • Ice • Disposable cups • Glassware • Coolers

Hello Sterling We had so much fun with you both planning and serving you at your wedding. The opportunity to come out early and stay the night prior to your wedding was icing on the cake. Thank you for accommodating our family. We wish you the best in marriage. Cheers, Brian
