From the moment we arrive, we handle everything. Setup, breakdown, and everything in between — so you can focus on your guests, not your bar. We specialize in craft cocktails that are pre-batched and served on draft, meaning fast, consistent pours that keep lines short and guests happy all night long.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate backyard wedding, a corporate gathering, or a large-scale festival, 86’D brings a polished, professional bar setup that looks great and runs even better. We work closely with clients ahead of every event to customize the menu, match the vibe, and make sure every detail is dialed in before we ever pour the first drink.
Your guests will notice the difference. Your event planner will thank you. Cheers!
With 25 years of experience in the bar and restaurant industry, I've had the privilege of working in a variety of settings—from fine dining, craft cocktails, sports and dive bars. After leaving Chico for 15 years, I gained invaluable experience working and studying my craft in places like San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento. I have learned that exceptional customer service is the cornerstone of any successful event. People and service are my specialty.
I’ve combined my years of experience to offer a cocktail bartending service designed to make your big day or party effortless and memorable. My goal is simple: to take care of every bartending detail so you can focus on enjoying the occasion. I thrive on entertaining and creating a seamless experience for my clients—ensuring that everything runs smoothly, from the first toast to the last call.
Whether it's an intimate gathering or a large celebration, I’m here to make sure everyone has a great time and memorable experience.

86’D Cocktail Company was built on 25 years of soaking up everything the bar industry has to offer — working alongside some of the best in the business and never stopping learning.
The craft cocktail movement has been a driving force, inspired by legendary programs like Death & Co. in New York — a bar that helped redefine what a cocktail experience could be. The writings and research of David Wondrich opened a deep appreciation for the history and tradition behind classic cocktails, and that respect for the craft shows up in every drink we make.
The speakeasy ethos — intimate, intentional, detail-obsessed — shapes how we approach every event, whether it’s a backyard wedding or a 300-person festival.
And Danny Meyer’s philosophy of enlightened hospitality reminds us that the drink is only half the experience. How your guests feel is everything.
After 25 years behind the bar, those influences don’t just inform what we pour — they define how we show up for every client and every guest.
