Kelsey's Graduation Party...May 22, 2009

WeTendBar had the chance to bartend our first Graduation Party on May 22, 2009 for Kelsey and 100 of her closest friends. They spent the night celebrating their sucess and doing SHOTS! Their favorite was the chocolate cake shot! As well, they were into taking shots of Tequila and then biting a orange slice with cinnamon! The Graduation Party took place on the deck in between two large apartments in Austin, TX.

Jenna & Scott....Wedding....May 16, 2009

WeTendBar was so pleased to be a part of Jenna & Scott's Wedding Day. WeTendBar was invited to be a part of their special day by Bisto 108, who we have worked with before. Verinda was so excited to bartend for the wedding, as she went to school with Jenna several years ago. Their wedding took place at Jenna's parent's beautiful ranch in La Grange. What started off as a warm day in May, quickly turned into a dreary day. The temperature dropped about 15 degrees which was a welcoming surprise and then came the very unwelcomed rain with the cold front. The ceremony was delayed, but then declared the show must go on. The bride, Jenna climbed aboard her horse drawn carriage holding an umbrella, with her father along side her and headed to the ceremony location.



When it came time, the Matron of Honor, Sarah, sister of the bride, & Bridesmaids: Gretchen, Cousin of the bride, Kaywin, Megan and Leigh all friends of the bride were all troopers, as they held tight onto their umbrellas, until they made their way under the covered walkway. They were dressed in beautiful long light pink dresses.

The family put alot of time into making every last detail just perfect for Jenna & Scott's Wedding Day. The pool had special lighting, as well had floating floral & candle arrangements. There were glistens of clear lights highlighting the property.
The Bartenders, Greg, Verinda & Josh with WeTendBar held strong in the rain as well. We had two bar locations, as they expected 400 guests prior to turn of bad weather that kept some people away. Verinda was at the poolside bar with a covered roof! The Boyz got to go play in the rain, Greg & Josh were at the bar that was orginally just off to the side of the tent where the dance floor/reception was to be held. The bar quickly got moved in under the tent when the rain began.

At the request of the Bride & Groom their Bar selection consisted of Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Bud Light, Shiner Bock & their specialty cocktail was pink lemonade w/champagne & strawberries. There was also non-alcohol choices of pink lemonade, tea, bottled water, juice boxes & soda.

The poolside bar was a very welcoming bar set-up, all though a tight area to work in, when you have coolers behind you. All beverages were served in either a wine glass or a pilsner glass. Although the reception area became a swamp, with some quick wit and a few boards leading upwards to the dance floor, the DJ started the party!



Jenna & Scott, we wish you the best!
