In a former life, I was responsible for coordinating every last detail of endless non-profit fundraisers, retreats and sundry other events where, more often than not, the only saving grace was the alcohol available. How else would one get through an eight-hour informational session with physicians who’d much rather be golfing on a Sunday afternoon? Exactly. When attending an event like this, you usually resign yourself to simply taking what drinks you can get, and it isn’t always pretty.

Enter Rye On The Road, a top-notch cocktail catering service in San Francisco looking to bring high quality and class to events for groups ranging from 20 to 1,000 attendees.

The owners of 15 Romolo, Rosewood and Rye Bar have created one-of-a-kind mobile bars that can be rolled into anybody’s backyard or black-tie event using signature touches like organic basil and local, seasonal ingredients. They work with you on customizing the event menu, pre-event tastings and event set-up, provide all of the glassware and garnishes – as their motto goes, “We make it, you shake it!”

I’m looking forward to running into them this summer at weddings, pool parties and formal galas. A girl can dream!
