The Tippsy Mare were at our wedding on 2nd August and what an amazing job Mel and her team did!! From beginning to end of the whole service provided I couldn't fault it. Mel was extremely helpful and she even provided little buckets to keep the wine cool in on the tables. Mel decorated Tippsy to fit in with our wedding theme which was vintage/Country and it looked fantastic alongside our marquee. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the bar and said what an efficient service they provided with reasonably priced drinks. Thank you so much for making our day so special. We would highly recommend and we will definitely be using you again at future family events

On 15th June The Tippsy Mare provided a pop-up indoor bar for Cardiff based Theatr Pena's Birthday and Farewell Party held in Insole Court.

From start to finish Mel was brilliant. Approachable, accommodating, helpful, she even did a recce of the venue in advance to ensure that everything ran smoothly on the day and provided everything I requested for our Spanish themed event (Cava, Sangria, lovely red and white wines) – and more.

If I ever need a mobile bar in the future I won't hesitate to contact Mel or to recommend The Tippsy Mare to anyone looking for a professional, stress-free, friendly, smiley service!

Thank you so much for helping to make our party such a memorable and fun occasion.

Erica Eirian, on behalf of Theatr Pena and friends.
