I’m talking about my horse on stories today- as horse girls do I guess! And talking about Rio🐴 just got me all in my feelings about this business. What’s the connection? Back in 2019 I was a burnt out middle school teacher working in a school where the teachers were dropping like flies. Half our staff quit by winter break. 😬 I was miserable and felt spread thin between everything and everyone I loved. Not enough time or energy for my family, my partner, my friends, my dog, my horse, or ME! I felt guilty in every relationship I had and was exhausted. I knew I needed to make a change so that’s when I started this biz. A horse girl starting a horse trailer bar… it really just felt right! Fast forward to today and I have time for my horse every day and time to spend with loved ones. I have the most friend time I’ve ever had and am making it home to see my family in Minnesota more than I ever could’ve imagined! In 2023 my bestie Mallory joined this biz and we’re just in shock at our quality of life today! I’m now on a mission to turn Mal into a horse girl too! 😉 So cheers to reaching the goal we set out to accomplish! 🥂 We both left the classroom and now we have time to take care of ourselves and those we love! I think entrepreneurs often get stuck in obsessing over the next goal and boy do we have some big ones! But, I want to take a moment to celebrate the big goals we have already reached. If you would’ve told Mallory and I that this would be our life back when we were two middle school teachers we just wouldn’t have believed you! -Cassie ♥️

We’ve got a bunch of new faces around here so it’s time for an introduction! 🌷

We’re Cassie and Mallory, the co-owners of The Wandering Wagon as well as . We’re two besties who teamed up to be able to quit our middle school teaching gigs and we’re so proud to say that we haven’t stepped foot in a classroom in over two years! (Cassie’s got the darker hair and Mallory the lighter, longer hair!) We offer boutique bar experiences for private events in Colorado and we’re known for shaking up our delicious Garden to Glass cocktails for each guest.

We absolutely love to be able to bring beautiful bars and tasty drinks to all sorts of parties, and we also love coaching other entrepreneurs on how to achieve their dreams like we did! We’ve grown SO much over the past 4 years; we’re now at a place where our businesses support 3 full-time salaries (peep Sofi, our Operations Manager (and Cassie’s sister) in slide 3), as well as 15+ part-time bartenders. We LOVE guiding others on their own business journeys so they can quit their own draining 9-5 someday.

HOLD UP - you can’t really meet The Wandering Wagon without meeting our bars! First up is Tipsy, the converted horse trailer. She’s got a service window with an adorable pop-up awning as well as a cute hanging chalkboard sign to display drink options! Then there’s Moxie, she’s a converted vintage Shasta camper that brings more of those sleek modern vibes. Moxie has two service windows, copper details, and a cute little sconce for when evening hits during the party!

We know we’ve got folks here for a few different reasons, and are so excited to keep building connections with y’all. Let us know in the comments why you’re following us, whether that’s for business advice, to ogle at gorgeous pics around Colorado, you’re another wedding vendor, a past client, or you’re an OG supporter who’s been watching us grow!

We’re dropping our second round of our affiliate program! A year long course teaching you how to run a micro wedding business just like ours AND the bartending side of things as well.

This is perfect for mobile bar owners, aspiring business owners, wedding planners that are looking for something different, and folks that are ready to hustle their way out of their full time jobs. This business model allowed us both to quit our teaching jobs after the first season and hire a full time employee by our third! Link in bio to receive our application! ✨

“We had chosen the Blushing Blackberry and the Peachy Keen as our signature cocktails for our wedding and they were both incredible! We asked guests which was their favorite and everyone was split as each drink exceeded expectations. The beers were cold, the service was fantastic, and the display with garnishes added to the whole experience! Thank you Wandering Wagon we can’t recommend you enough!”

Our team had so much fun shaking things up for the Fever Dream party at North Star! It’s always so fun when we get to collaborate with our favorite vendors! The cherry on top for this evening was that we got to serve our garden to glass cocktails and mocktails to our fellow industry folks! 🍒

A garden to glass flat lay is our favorite kind of flat lay over here at The Wandering Wagon! We have a menu of 8 cocktails each season for clients to choose from. Our goal each year is to offer options that are tasty, fresh, unique, and beautiful! We create drinks that are aimed to be crowd pleasers and light enough to be enjoyed all night long! We also prioritize drinks that can be made booze free for a delicious and well balanced mocktail! 6 of our 8 drinks this season are recommended to be doubled as a mocktail and we’d love to list it on your menu as an option!

We’re getting ready for our 2024 bartender training session this evening and it’s got us feeling PROUD! ⬇️

When this little operation started, the first bartender training took place at Cassie’s dining room table, and now we’re holding 2024’s training in our very own warehouse space. We’ve gone from Cassie needing to be at every single event to having a team of close to 20 bartenders and being able to send out 4 teams in a single day, not to mention we’ve gained another co-owner, an operations manager, and even a bar manager! We are all so amazed and proud of this company - it’s so rewarding to see all the growth that has happened because of HARD work that was put in.

Cheers to the 2024 season and more growth ahead!

Y’all this season’s menu is 🔥🔥🔥 we’re obsessed, our couples at the tastings are obsessed, you’re going to be obsessed!

We’re for the couples looking to bring a bar EXPERIENCE to their guests. No folding table with a black tablecloth in the corner serving basic drinks you can get at your local hole in the wall. We are bringing hand squeezed juices, fresh fruit, herbs, and our scratch made simple syrups to craft our garden to glass cocktails for you and your loved ones all night. We work hard for the bar to be something talked about all night long! Need a good mocktail? 6 of our 8 drinks on our garden to glass menu work wonderfully as mocktails too! Booking 2024 and 2025!

p.s no hate to hole in the walls! We love ‘em, just not their drinks for your wedding day! 😉

We recently celebrated The Wandering Wagon’s 5th birthday! 🎉 It’s wild to think back 5 years ago on how this all started and reflect on where we are now. Five years ago I moved to Denver and got a job at a school in DPS and expected to love it just as much as I loved teaching in Minneapolis. About half the staff quit by winter break and I was miserable. I spent almost every day crying as I drove home from school feeling stuck. I couldn’t find another teaching job mid year and didn’t have the funds to quit so I knew I had to stick it out. That school year made me fall out of love with teaching so I started researching business ideas and Pinterest provided me with the idea of a horse trailer bar. The horse girl in me knew it was the biz for me! I had the idea in February and The Wandering Wagon was born in March of 2019. Fast forward 5 months and a new school and in walks Mallory. We met in the copy room and I told her about how I started this mobile bar biz and was going to quit teaching. She said “DO NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND” and we started brainstorming ways to get her out too. Raise your hand if you’ve gone from being strangers to immediate besties and biz partners! 🦗🦗🦗… just us? We started and became instant platonic soulmates and business partners for life. Fast forward another 3 years and Mallory joined The Wandering Wagon as an equal owner. I was over running this biz without her. 😉 One more fast forward and my sister Sofi joiner our little wedding business team full time. So here we are 5 years later with 3 people living full time off of the businesses that were born in classrooms. Another little fun detail is that yesterday we moved the biz out of my house and into a warehouse! One last fun thing is that next months marks 2 years since Mal and I were teachers! So cheers to year 5 for The Wandering Wagon and to all the adventures that wait our little business team in the next 5! ❤️Cassie

Throwback to this magical wedding last August. This couple chose to serve 3 drinks from our Garden to Glass menu (3 of our absolute favorites), and they renamed each of them! Renaming the drinks is such a great way to personalize every last bit of detail for your wedding, just let us know the new names so we can pass the info along to our calligrapher!
