What makes the perfect wedding bar service? According to Kobe from Southern Standard Elevated Bar Services, it's about creating experiences guests remember long after the champagne bubbles fade.
Kobe launched his mobile bartending business in 2019, weathered the pandemic slowdown, and by 2022 was fully committed to revolutionizing how couples and guests experience wedding bars. His philosophy centers on consistency, quality, and treating each wedding as the privilege it truly is.
Unlike typical staffing companies, Southern Standard ensures every event has experienced team leads who understand their unique approach. From their patent-pending "Honeymooner" cocktail (a refreshing take on a piña colada) to their homemade pecan espresso martini with laboriously crafted pecan demerara syrup, they've mastered the art of memorable signature drinks.
But exceptional bartending goes beyond mixing drinks. Kobe's team transforms bar spaces with professional lighting and greenery, creating inviting atmospheres where guests feel welcomed by a "friend behind the bar." They offer thoughtful recommendations beyond the menu and create experiences that become talking points long after the wedding.
Perhaps most impressive is their commitment to professionalism with other vendors. They arrive early, offer assistance to caterers or coordinators who need help, and clean meticulously after service - sometimes even mopping parking lots against venue owners' protests. "We clean until the bar looks better than how we found it," Kobe insists.
For couples planning their bar service, Kobe recommends focusing on two signature cocktails that reflect their tastes, plus a curated selection of beer and wine. They also create sophisticated mocktails for non-drinkers, ensuring everyone enjoys a special experience.
