How far do you travel?
Whether your event is hosted at a Hill Country wedding venue, ranch property, winery, private estate, or corporate event space, we bring a fully equipped mobile bar and mobile cigar lounge experience directly to your location. We are located in San Antonio Texas, and we proudly service a wide radius across Texas Hill Country without any additional travel expense to you. If your event is outside our standard service area, we may still be able to accommodate your celebration depending on the location, guest count, and event logistics. Travel arrangements can be discussed during the booking process to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Do you provide the alcohol?
Whiskey & Wildflowers operates under the Texas dry-hire bartending model, which means the host or venue provides the alcohol for the event. This approach keeps your celebration compliant with Texas alcohol service regulations while giving you full control over the beverage selection served to your guest. Also, there are no additional mark-ups as you can purchase the alcohol you select on base, Costco, Total wine etc. Your choice for selection and quantities, and the best part is you get to keep any leftover spirits to use toward your next celebration.
Our team provides everything needed for a professional and seamless bar experience, including TABC-certified bartenders, bar setup, non-alcoholic mixers, garnishes, cups, tools, and custom drink menus. We also provide guidance on quantities and can assist with a recommended shopping list to help you purchase the right amount of alcohol for your guest count.
Can we add a mobile cigar bar to our wedding?
Yes, absolutely. A mobile cigar bar experience is one of the most popular additions for weddings and special events. Whiskey & Wildflowers offers a curated cigar lounge setup that allows guests to relax, socialize, and enjoy premium cigars during your celebration.
Our mobile cigar bar includes a selection of premium cigars, elegant display setups, cutters, lighters, ashtrays, and optional cigar hosts who assist guests with selecting and enjoying their cigars. Many couples choose to introduce the cigar lounge during cocktail hour, after dinner, or later in the evening as guests transition into a more relaxed social atmosphere.
Cigar lounges are especially popular for Texas Hill Country weddings, outdoor receptions, ranch venues, and late-night wedding celebrations. The experience adds a unique and memorable element that many guests appreciate.
We work directly with your venue to ensure authorization of tobacco products at their venue, and to provide a seamless set up and ideal location for your cigar services to be held for the evening. While following all state and local laws.
How many cigars should we have for a wedding cigar bar?
The number of cigars needed for a wedding cigar bar depends on your guest count and how many guests are likely to participate. In most weddings, only a portion of guests will enjoy cigars, so a common guideline is to plan for about 20–30% of your total guest count.
For example:
• 100 guests → 20–30 cigars
• 150 guests → 30–45 cigars
• 200 guests → 40–60 cigars
Many couples choose to offer a curated selection of premium cigars so guests can choose something that fits their preferences. Our mobile cigar bar experience can include a variety of cigar styles along with cutters, lighters, ashtrays, and optional cigar hosts who assist guests with selecting and enjoying their cigars.
If you're unsure how many cigars to plan for, our team is happy to recommend quantities and cigar selections based on your guest count and event style.
Popular Wedding Cigar Options
• Connecticut (smooth & mild)
• Habano (balanced flavor)
• Maduro (bold & rich)
Do you work with wedding planners and venues?
Yes. Whiskey & Wildflowers regularly works with wedding planners, venues, and event coordinators throughout San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish.
Our team understands the importance of coordination with venue staff and planners when it comes to event timelines, setup logistics, guest flow, and bar service operations. We communicate closely with the planning team to make sure our mobile bartending service and cigar bar experience integrate seamlessly with the overall event schedule.
Our goal is to provide professional, reliable mobile bartending and mobile cigar bar services that complement your venue and support the vision of your wedding or special event.
When should the bar open during a wedding?
The bar typically opens during cocktail hour, immediately following the wedding ceremony. This allows guests to relax, socialize, and enjoy drinks while the couple takes photos and transitions into the reception.
A common wedding bar timeline looks like this:
• Cocktail Hour: Bar opens with beer, wine, and signature cocktails
• Dinner Service: Bar remains open or limited to wine and beer depending on the couple’s preference
• Reception & Dancing: Full bar service continues throughout the celebration
• Late Evening: Some couples introduce specialty experiences like a mobile cigar bar lounge, and other vendors like snack carts and or grazing boards for guests to enjoy after dinner
What does your bartending service include?
Whiskey & Wildflowers provides a complete mobile bartending experience designed to make your event seamless, professional, and enjoyable for your guests. Our bartending service includes TABC-certified bartenders, bar setup, essential bar tools, non-alcoholic mixers, garnishes, cups, napkins, and cocktail preparation equipment to ensure smooth and efficient service throughout your event.
Since Texas operates under a dry-hire bartending model, the host provides the alcohol while we supply everything needed to serve it professionally. We also assist with custom drink menu planning and alcohol quantity recommendations, helping you determine how much beer, wine, liquor, and mixers to purchase based on your guest count.
Depending on your event needs, we can bring as little or as much as you’d like. Some hosts prefer a simple setup with bartenders and basic bar service, while others choose a more complete experience with custom cocktail menus, specialty mixers, and additional bar presentation elements. Our goal is to tailor the service to fit your event style, guest count, and vision and budget.
