Your Kent Wedding - Page number 10 - July/August 2021 (Issue 97)

YOUR ROUND! Mobile bar business The Thirsty Farrier has launched a new set of packages for weddings. Formed by brothers Jon and Dan in 2019, the Kent-based bar company offers flexible packages for events throughout Kent and beyond. The company has a variety of bar setups available, from the hand-crafted mint green horsebox, rustic pop-uk bar and prosecco piano, to its new home festival package, ideal for al fresco gatherings. Throughout lockdown, the boys have adapted their offering by launching online cocktail masterclasses, but are now pleased to say they’ve re-opened bookings for weddings. What’s more, the duo have made a personal promise to all customers that if any wedding or event is cancelled due to changes in the coronavirus restrictions, every penny will be refunded. Co-owner Dan says, “We’re so excited to be taking wedding bookings again. With new packages that can be tailored to your needs, we can provide speciality drinks and a bar setup of your choice – along with the super-personal, bubbly and friendly service The Thirsty Farrier is renowned for.” The Free Reign package, which includes bar staff, equipment and a mobile bar starts from £400.
