Four Bars, One Standard

Pick the bar that fits your day.

Every bar is mobile, four-tap capable, and configured to your event. The right choice usually comes down to whether you want staffed service, the bar to carry your names, or self-pour at a relaxed reception.

LED Illuminated The Mayfair bar โ€” slatted black panel with oak top and warm LED underglow
The Mayfair
Architectural. Illuminated. Unmistakably premium.

Our staffed flagship. Slatted black panelling, solid oak worktop, warm LED underglow that lifts as the evening turns. Built for first dances and golden-hour drinks.

Up to 4 taps ยท Staffed ยท Premium reception
Customisable The Classic bar โ€” stainless steel top with bold VIVA wordmark on a black panel
The Classic
The original. Seen at hundreds of UK events.

Stainless top, bold black panel. The only bar with a swappable front โ€” display your names, your monogram, or a wedding-day quote. Custom branding fee applies.

Up to 4 taps ยท Custom panel ยท All-rounder
LED Illuminated The Pavilion bar โ€” slatted black panelling with elevated tap unit for self-service
The Pavilion
Self-service, beautifully done.

Same premium slatted finish as The Mayfair, with an elevated tap unit so guests serve themselves. The Mayfair look without the staffing line item โ€” popular for relaxed receptions.

Up to 4 taps ยท Self-service ยท Garden ceremonies
The Riviera bar โ€” powder blue front panel with oak worktop, summer styling
The Riviera
Sunshine in bar form.

Powder blue panel, oak top. The softer option โ€” works for summer weddings, daytime receptions, and anywhere the black bars feel too formal. The outlier that couples either love instantly or pass on.

Up to 4 taps ยท Daytime ยท Summer weddings
How You Want It Delivered

Self-service to fully staffed.

Three tiers cover the spread from intimate ceremonies you run yourself to full-staffed receptions. Most couples land on Dry Hire โ€” we deliver, set up, collect, you supply the drinks and a friend to pour.

Bar in a Box
ยฃ399
From โ€” delivered by pallet courier

Our flagship portable bar, delivered to your venue and ready to go โ€” wheel it off the case and pour. Best for intimate ceremonies, registry-office receptions, and weddings under 50 guests.

Staffed Bar
ยฃ1,299
From โ€” fully managed

Trained bartenders, fully stocked bar, bespoke wedding menus, end-to-end management from arrival to last-orders. Hands-off for the couple โ€” we run the bar so you run the day.

Moments We Pour For

The wedding day, drink by drink.

A wedding bar isn't one thing โ€” it's six. Arrival drinks, the toast, signature cocktails, the late-night switch. Pick the moments you want. We design the menu around your day, in your colours, in your style.

01 ยท On Arrival
Welcome drinks

Pimm's, bucks fizz, prosecco or aperol spritz on trays as guests arrive from the ceremony. Sets the tone for the day and stops the awkward "where do we go?" wait.

Optional add-on
02 ยท For The Toast
Champagne service

Coordinated pour for speeches โ€” usually one or two glasses per guest. We line up the pour so every flute is full before the first speech starts.

Optional add-on
03 ยท Your Signature
His & hers cocktails

Two named cocktails on a printed menu card โ€” custom to you. Most popular pairing we make: a fruit-led drink for one, a dark-spirit drink for the other. Built to be photogenic.

Optional add-on
04 ยท Evening Switch
Espresso martini hour

The moment the dance floor fills. We switch from pints to cocktails for a defined window โ€” usually 9-10pm โ€” and pour espresso martinis to order. Tells guests the party's properly started.

Optional add-on
05 ยท Summer Days
Frozen cocktails

Slushie machine for frozen margaritas, frozen aperol, or frozen pornstar martini. Best in good weather, garden ceremonies, and any wedding where the dress-shoes-on-grass crowd needs something to hold.

Seasonal add-on
06 ยท For Everyone
Sober & low-ABV menu

Full mocktail menu, alcohol-free spirits, designated-driver friendly options. We make sure guests who aren't drinking don't feel like an afterthought. Included on every staffed bar by default.

From Enquiry to Last Orders

Four steps. No surprises.

The wedding-day version of how we work. Quotes are fixed before booking, not estimated. We confirm access, timings, and any custom panel design before your venue ever sees us turn up.

01

Tell us your day

Venue, date, guest count, what you've already booked. We quote within 24 hours โ€” fixed, no estimate-tax later.

02

We design your bar

Pick the bar, the service tier, any add-ons. If you want a custom Classic panel with your names, we mock it up before sign-off.

03

Delivery & setup

We arrive, unload, set up, test taps. Done before guests arrive โ€” usually two to four hours before service starts.

04

You enjoy your day

Staffed bar โ€” we run it. Dry hire โ€” we collect the next morning. Either way, the bar is one less thing on the list.

Wedding FAQs

The questions couples ask first.

The four we get most. For the full list โ€” corkage, late finishes, venues with stairs, what happens if it rains โ€” head to the FAQs page.

See all FAQs โ†’

Yes โ€” on The Classic. The front panel swaps out and we can print your names, monogram, or a custom design. Send us what you want by four weeks before the wedding and we'll mock it up for sign-off. There's a small additional fee for the custom panel โ€” we'll include it in your quote.

Usually two to four hours before service starts, depending on venue access and how much we're setting up. We coordinate directly with your venue or planner โ€” you don't need to project-manage it. For staffed bars we arrive earlier to stock and prep.

For Dry Hire and Bar in a Box, yes โ€” you supply the drinks. We give you a recommended quantity list based on your guest count. For Staffed Bar we supply everything and build the menu with you. Either route, we never charge corkage on your own drinks.

Stairs, narrow gates, soft ground, marquee thresholds โ€” we've seen all of it. Our bars are wheeled but breakdown into manageable sections. Tell us upfront and we'll plan around it. Worst case, we recommend Bar in a Box, which arrives by pallet and is far easier to manoeuvre.
