What clients say.

Weddings, company parties, festival sites, and bars bought outright — across the UK and out to a beach in Ibiza. Here's the feedback in their words.

Sixty guests, registry-office reception at home. The bartenders ran the whole thing for six hours and never made it feel like a vendor was in the house. The cocktail list was built around drinks we actually like. We'd book them for anything.

Brought VIVA in for Ibiza Global Radio Festival across 2024 and 2025 — beachfront bar in San Antonio, full dispense, cocktail cellar in the heat. Cold beer all weekend, no drama, one point of contact. They're on the list for next year already.

Wedding · Dry Hire
★★★★★

Booked dry hire because a mate had just done his bartender course and wanted to pour. The bar turned up two hours early, set up around the caterers, every tap tested. We supplied the kegs, they did everything else. Exactly what was quoted.

We ran it as a paid cash bar for a 150-person company summer party. Their card system meant zero cash handling for us and no awkward float. Two bartenders kept the queue moving all night. Invoice was exactly the quote.

Five-bar run across the arena, branded for the festival, cocktail dispense in the dance tent. They speced the whole site, built the cellars off-bar, and ran it with their own crew. Genuinely the easiest bar supplier we've worked with.

40th in the garden, around 60 people. Dry hire was the obvious call — we already had the drinks from the wholesaler. The Riviera looked brilliant in daylight and collection the next morning was painless. No fuss either end.

Wedding · The Classic
★★★★★

Booked The Classic with our names on the panel — every photo from the night has it in shot. The team arrived earlier than promised, set up around the marquee crew, and we didn't have to think about the bar once. Fixed quote was exactly what we paid.

Bought a Bar
★★★★★

We bought a bar outright for our venue, fully branded in our colours. It turned up ready — filled the cooler, connected a keg and gas, pouring within the hour. The chiller is the same standard as the kit in our main room. No notes.

★★★★★

We built the bar ourselves and VIVA installed the dispense on top — T-bars, python back to their cellar, gas sorted. The pour was faultless across a hot weekend. The bar still looked like ours; the engineering was clearly theirs.
