The bar naturally becomes one of the most social parts of a celebration. It's where guests gather, reconnect, order another round, and linger between moments on the dance floor. An intentional bar experience doesn’t just serve drinks, it helps shape the atmosphere of the entire night. From custom cocktails to the way your guests are welcomed at the bar, the details are noticeable and leave a lasting impression.

Yes. We carry general liability insurance, as well as liquor liability insurance. We can provide copies of our insurance policies to your venue upon request. We are also licensed as a business with the State of California. It is your responsibility to secure any permits needed, but typically, if your event is held on private property, you will not need to secure any permits.
Are you licensed & insured?
We require a flat, stable, and well-lit area for bar service setup, regardless of which bar setup is being used. Access to standard power is appreciated but not always required depending on your package and event needs. If your venue has uneven ground, limited lighting, stairs, or access restrictions, please let us know ahead of time so we can schedule a venue tour.
what are your setup requirements?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak wedding season dates. Most couples book anywhere from 6–18 months in advance, though we occasionally have last-minute availability depending on the date and scope of service. Once a signed contract and retainer are received, your date is officially secured.
how far in advance do you book?
Yes, at this time, The Parched Poppies partners with a business in the State of California holding a valid liquor license which allows us to source alcohol for our clients. After your beverage planning call, we’ll provide a recommended shopping list with estimated quantities, along with a quote from our partner should you choose to have our team assist you with the delivery of your alcohol.
Can you provide alcohol?
The Parched Poppies and Caroline/her team were everything we could have ever dreamed of when it came to bartending and cocktails for our wedding! Not only was communication top-tier through the entire wedding process, but Caroline was so helpful and insightful when it came to helping us make decisions. She cared more about us as individuals and provided insight that would be better for us/our day in the long run. We truly appreciate her candidness and expertise that she was willing to share.
“If we could give 6 stars,
we would!”
They made everything feel effortless and truly cared about making our wedding day perfect. The drinks were delicious, the lawn games were a huge hit with our guests, and the champagne tower was absolutely stunning — such a highlight of the night! Every detail was beautifully handled, and it really showed how passionate they are about what they do. Caroline, the owner, was a dream to work with and was so helpful in the planning process. Thank you, Parched Poppies, for helping make our day so special. We can’t recommend you highly enough!
“From start to finish, their team was absolutely fantastic.”
Professional, kind, and genuinely invested in making our celebration feel personal and special. Their drinks were incredible!!
