Twisted Mojito, based in Yorkshire, is a premier bar supplier for events all across the UK. This mobile bar hire service comes with a fully stocked bar as well as cocktails, so all tastes are catered for. Operating a cash bar or an open bar alleviates confusion and you are even able to personalise a cocktail menu or put together a full wine list.
What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?
For quoting purposes, we need to know the date, location or venue, if known, and timings of the event and its nature; knowing whether it’s an indoor or outdoor event is helpful as is knowing the number of guests expected and whether they would like to pay for drinks themselves or the guests to pay for their own. It helps to know if they have any drink preferences too. For example: cocktails, gin, rum or real ale.
What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Firstly, ask the provider about their menu and see what drinks they are offering and also at what prices, particularly if you are hiring a cash bar where guests pay for their own drinks. Secondly, I would ask about staff - what is their staff:guest ratio? what skills do their staff have? With this information you can gauge whether the staff are going to be friendly and professional with guests. Thirdly, if you have particular preferences with drinks, it's your wedding day, don't be afraid to ask for what you want to be served. If there is a particular gin, cocktail or wine you like, ask if they can supply this.
Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.
Having worked and run numerous cocktail bars in England and Australia, Twisted Mojito Cocktail and Bar Hire was created to bring more exotic drinks to weddings and events in the UK. With a strong customer focus we will provide the perfect bar for your event, supplying exactly the drinks you want. Rachel Noble, the director of Twisted Mojito, started working in hospitality at the age of 16 and loves every aspect of creating fun and memorable experiences, going above and beyond to make sure she exceeds expectations. After obtaining a First Class Honours degree in Events Management, she went onto travel the world picking up more and more cocktail knowledge on her way. Upon her return she set up portable-bar-for-hire, Twisted Mojito, after a decade of working in hospitality and events.
Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?
I have had many bookings through this platform now. I would recommend it, and have done so, to other suppliers as it brings many positive leads. I couldn't single one event out; we have had bookings for Cocktails Masterclasses for Hen Parties, pre-paid cocktail bars which go down a treat for special birthdays and also full bar hire for weddings and corporate events. The reviews have been amazing with many saying they would use us again in the future. I think Add to Event works hard for its suppliers, constantly developing the platform to enhance both the customer and supplier experience. I will continue to recommend Add to Event to other suppliers in the event sphere.
