A botanical bar and passed bites, brought to your garden, hall or office

We tow our trailer bar to your venue, set it up and serve house-made botanical drinks and passed bites with a crew of two or more. Your proposal lists every price before anything is held or paid.

Or call the studio at (518) 555-0186, Tuesday to Saturday.

How booking works

From your first message to the last glass packed away.

  1. Step 1: Tell us about the event

    Reply within 2 business days

    Send the date, the venue and its town, and roughly how many guests. An inquiry doesn't hold the date, so if the day matters, say so and we'll check it first.

    Next step: Send an inquiry

  2. Step 2: Read your proposal

    Held until the date on the proposal

    We write out every line with its price: bar setup, the package per guest, crew shifts and any extras, with the menu and our dietary notes. When we send it, we hold the trailer or the satellite bar for your date until the expiry shown. Holds don't renew on their own.

    Next step: Check the menu and the numbers

  3. Step 3: Accept and pay the deposit

    Confirms the date

    Accepting and paying are separate steps. Your date is confirmed once you've accepted the current proposal and the 30% deposit has gone through, after we've checked again that the bar and crew are free. On a 75-guest proposal of $4,100, the deposit is $1,230.

    Next step: Pay 30% to book

  4. Step 4: Change it if plans change

    Any time before the event

    A new guest count, menu or date comes back to you as a revised proposal, and your booking stays as agreed until you accept it. Going from 75 to 110 guests moves the total from $4,100 to $5,470 and the deposit from $1,230 to $1,641, so $411 more is due. Money you've already paid stays applied.

    Next step: Accept the revision

  5. Step 5: We confirm the venue

    The week of the event

    We call your venue contact to confirm the load-in window, where we can park and what the power will take. If house power is limited, we bring our quiet generator.

    Next step: Share your venue contact

  6. Step 6: The day itself

    On the day

    Load-in usually starts two to three hours before service. The bar is set, stocked and iced before your first guest arrives, and we're packed and off site about 90 minutes after service ends. The final invoice follows, with your deposit already taken off.

    Next step: Enjoy the evening

6 steps · 30% deposit to confirm · balance invoiced after the event

The studio

Juniper & Brass is a small events studio with one trailer bar, one compact satellite bar and a crew of five. Every drink we make is non-alcoholic, from the juniper cordial in our tonic to the quince shrub in the spritz, and the bites we pass follow the season.

Most of our events are garden receptions, family suppers, anniversary dinners and the odd morning open house, usually for fifty to a hundred and thirty guests. The trailer handles gravel service lanes and long orchard drives. The satellite bar goes where a trailer can't, like an office atrium reached by freight lift.

Marisol Vance leads the bar and drives the trailer in on tight lanes. Theo Okonkwo is our other bar lead, Priya Raman runs service on the floor, and Dev Halloran and June Marchetti work the bar and floor alongside them. Every event gets at least two of us, and one more for every fifty guests.

From our hosts

We hold our autumn benefit in the library, and the bar had to stay in the east bay, away from the shelves. They set up there, served 130 guests from it all evening, and the final invoice matched the proposal line for line, with our deposit already taken off.

— Edwin C., Saratoga Springs

  • We've had Juniper & Brass for two family dinners and booked them again for our anniversary. When we changed the guest count after booking, they sent a revised proposal with the new total and deposit written out, and nothing changed until we accepted.

    — Rosalind P., Ballston Spa

  • One of our guests can't have gluten. The studio wrote back saying which drinks and bites would suit her, and her food came out on its own labeled tray.

    — Joanna L., Malta

Questions we get asked

Holds, deposits, changes and what we need from your venue.

What does a proposal include?
Each line with its price: the $1,200 bar setup, the package at $32 per guest, crew shifts at $250 each and any extras you choose, plus the menu written out with our dietary notes. Nothing is held until we send it, and nothing is charged until you pay the deposit.
How many crew will we have?
At least two. We add one crew shift for every 50 guests, rounded up, so two crew up to 100 guests, three from 101 to 150, and four from 151 to 200.
When is our date confirmed?
When you've accepted the current proposal and the 30% deposit has gone through. Before we take the deposit we check again that the bar and crew are free that day. An inquiry on its own doesn't reserve anything.
How long do you hold a date?
Until the expiry written on your proposal. If a hold runs out before you accept, the date is open again. We'll check it again for you, and if the bar is still free we can hold it again.
Can we change the guest count after booking?
Yes. We send a revised proposal with the new total and any change to the deposit, and your booking stays as it is until you accept. Going from 75 to 110 guests, for example, takes the total from $4,100 to $5,470 and the deposit from $1,230 to $1,641. If your numbers go down, what you've already paid stays applied to the new total.
Can we move our date?
We can move it to a day when the trailer or satellite bar and the crew are free. If the new day is already booked we'll tell you, and your booking stays on its original date.
Are the drinks alcoholic?
No. Everything we make is non-alcoholic: the juniper & grapefruit tonic, the orchard shrub spritz, the smoked honey & sage cup, and still and sparkling water through service.
Can you work around dietary needs?
Tell us about the guest and what they avoid, and we'll answer in writing. Where it helps, their food goes out on a separate, labeled tray. Our labels (vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, contains dairy, contains nuts) are kitchen notes, not an allergen certification.
What do you need from the venue?
A way for the trailer to reach the bar position, a load-in window that usually starts two to three hours before service, and water within reach. If house power is limited we bring a quiet generator. Indoors, the satellite bar can go up in a freight lift.
When is the balance due?
We send the final invoice after the event, with your deposit already taken off.
