Exclusive Bartender

Roaming Sapphire Lounge is The Emerald Cottage Exclusive Bartender

Beverage service is provided by our exclusive bartender, specializing in custom bar packages, curated wine offerings, and personalized drink menus for intimate celebrations

With nearly 28 years in the liquor, wine, and beer industry, I bring deep experience and a genuine love for hospitality to every wedding I serve. My background includes distributing to liquor stores, resorts, bars, and wine bars, along with years spent designing wine lists, liquor menus, and custom drink menus. I’ve worked closely with restaurant and resort teams, providing wine education and guidance to elevate both service and guest experience.

I’ve also traveled to California and abroad for hands-on training with winemakers, gaining firsthand knowledge that I love sharing in an approachable, enjoyable way. My goal is simple: to make your wedding day stress-free, exciting, and seamlessly executed, with thoughtful service and drinks your guests will truly enjoy.
