Wedding guests shaking First Toast cocktails together during the wedding breakfast
Weddings & events · Ayrshire, Glasgow & central Scotland

Cocktails your guests shake, share and remember.

Three ways to do it, all with our team on site: cocktails on your wedding tables, a staffed station for the drinks reception, or a hosted masterclass wherever you are.

Offer one

Cocktail on the Table, staffed.

Our wedding table service. Bottles delivered and set on your tables with everything needed: glassware, shaker, ice and a measure. A member of our staff is present throughout to support guests, show them how to shake properly and keep the room moving.

The photographs nobody else gets

This is a set piece most couples have never been offered. While your guests are shaking their own drinks, our staff member is photographing them doing it. Grannies laughing, groomsmen competing, tables of people who had never met an hour earlier all in on the same thing. Those images come back to you after the wedding and they look nothing like the standard set. It is the bit couples tell us about afterwards, more than the drink.

  • Delivered, set up and cleared
  • Glassware, shakers, ice, measures
  • Staff member on site throughout
  • Candid shaking photographs included
  • Alcohol-free versions of every serve
  • Fresh, made for your date

The Cocktail Hour Station.

A staffed station for the drinks reception, set up wherever suits the room. There are two ways to run it, and they give you a completely different hour.

This is a cocktail station alongside your venue’s existing drinks service, not a complete wedding bar-hire package. Tell us which part of the day you want covered and we will quote that service.

Self-make

Guests shake their own with our staff talking them through it. It becomes the entertainment, people mix with each other, and the room warms up fast. Best when you want the reception to feel lively.

Fully served

Our staff make everything and hand it over finished. Quicker, calmer, no queue building. Best when you have photographs to get through or a tight run of the day.

Pricing depends on numbers, hours and how many serves you want. Every station is quoted individually.

Cocktail Masterclasses.

Hands on, and we come to you. You are behind the bar, not watching someone else do it. Shake, muddle, pour and taste, with blind tastings, speed rounds and cocktail battles to keep it moving. Premium and properly run, not a novelty party class.

Built for hen parties, milestone birthdays, work nights out and group celebrations. We are mobile across Ayrshire, Glasgow and central Scotland, so your house, a village hall, an office or a holiday let all work. Minimum eight guests and a £300 minimum spend per booking. Alcohol-free versions of everything are available on request.

Guests shaking their own cocktails at a First Toast table service

Cocktails for licensed venues

Buy our bottled cocktails at trade price and serve them your way. Pour them for the drinks reception, offer a cocktail for the toast, put bottles on the tables for guests to share, or serve them behind the bar. Your team handles the service, we supply the cocktails. See trade pricing or browse the full cocktail menu.

FAQ

The questions we get asked most

Ask us. Bottles are not on sale to the public yet, so we sort tastings case by case. Tell us your date and the drinks you are curious about and we will find a way. If you are booking a masterclass you taste as you go anyway, every drink you make is yours to drink. Tell us which ones you are curious about and we will point you at the right pair.

Licensing

A word on licensing

At a licensed venue

Hotels, wedding venues, restaurants, golf clubs, anywhere with its own licence. Their licence covers the drinks. There is nothing for you to do and no extra notice needed.

At an unlicensed space

Private houses, village halls, marquees, community centres, holiday lets, offices and dry hire spaces. An occasional licence has to be applied for. We do that, not you.

It has to be submitted at least five weeks before your event date, so please factor that in when picking a date. Once your booking is confirmed we will be in touch to go through what we need for the application. It is straightforward and we do it all the time.
