More than bartending...
Many mobile bar services provide a bartender and basic equipment. Vagabond Libations designs and prepares the experience behind the bar.With us you receive custom drink menus, cocktail tasting before your event, alcohol calculations to fresh juices, house-made syrups, and thoughtfully developed zero-proof options, every detail is planned before your guests arrive.
The result is a bar that feels intentional, not improvised.
Why Dry-Hire?
Dry-hire service gives you control over the alcohol you purchase, the brands you prefer, and the amount you spend.
We provide the professional service and supporting details needed to bring everything together.
Plan my event
about us...
My name is Caleb, meet my wife Sierra and our two pups Daisy and Dixie. I have been a career firefighter/paramedic for the last decade. I started Vagabond Libations because I genuinely love a well-made cocktail and the experience that comes with it.When I was planning my own event, I could not find a bar service that offered the level of quality, creativity, and customization I was looking for. I wanted more than someone simply pouring drinks. I wanted fresh ingredients, thoughtful cocktails for my guests, and a bar that felt like part of the event.So I decided to create it myself.What began as a personal passion grew into Vagabond Libations, a mobile bar service built around quality drinks, careful planning, and making guests feel taken care of.My goal is simple: to bring the bar experience I wished I could have at my own event to yours.
