Weddings
Your wedding bar, run with the same care as everything else on the day. Every event is planned around you - the drinks, the timings & the details.Â
​
We work closely with you, your planner or venue coordinator ahead of time, so the bar fits seamlessly into the flow of the day, from welcome drinks through to the last cocktail on the dance floor.
​
What we offer:
​
-
Reception and welcome drinks.
-
Full evening bar service, open or on consumption.
-
Bespoke cocktail menus, designed around your taste.Â
Â
We're proud recipients of The Wedding Industry Awards, at both regional and national level - recognition built on the weddings we've already been part of.
Corporate & Agency
Client entertaining, awards nights, summer socials, internal celebrations - whatever the occasion, the brief is usually the same: it needs to run properly, without you having to manage it on the day.
​
What we offer:
​
-
Client entertaining and launch events.
-
Internal culture events, awards nights, and seasonal parties.
-
Cocktail masterclasses - a genuinely hands-on option for team socials, led by our own bartenders.
-
Direct booking for agencies and companies, with a single point of contact throughout.
​
We work closely with agencies and event planners as well as directly with companies - so however you're used to organising events, we fit into that process rather than adding to it.
Private Celebrations
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, garden parties and other celebrations that matter.
​
We work with you directly to build a drinks offering that fits the celebration - the setting, the guest list and the tone of the day.
​
What we offer:
​
-
Bar hire for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and garden parties.
-
Drinks menus shaped around the occasion and your guests' taste.
-
Cocktail masterclasses - a hands-on option for hen parties, milestone celebrations, or simply something different to do with friends.
​
However big or small the guest list, the approach doesn't change: considered, personal and properly run from start to finish.
About
Bower + Hawthorne was founded by Brandon and Ellie - a husband-and-wife team with backgrounds in drinks and events respectively. The idea was straightforward: run both to the same standard, rather than treating one as an afterthought to the other, and bring that combination to weddings, private celebrations, and corporate events across the South East.​
​
Today, we provide mobile bar hire across Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, and London. Every booking is handled personally, planned with the same care whether it's a dry hire service at a country-house wedding in the South Downs, cocktails for a corporate evening in London, or a masterclass for a private party in Surrey.Â
Â
We've poured across hundreds of celebrations. We'd be delighted to be part of yours.

What our clients say
Jade ellet - Corporate Event 2026
We used Bower + Hawthorne for our corporate Summer Party this year and I am so glad we did!
They were fantastic from start to finish - efficient communication, completely understood the brief, cocktails designed to match our event, simple and quick set up (which looked PHENOMENAL), wonderful staff who were immaculately dressed, delicious cocktails, attentive service, perfect clean up and the feedback from our staff has reflected this completely!
Samantha Thurston - corporate Event 2025
We had the absolute pleasure of having Bower & Hawthorne Mobile Bar at our private luxury event, and they were simply outstanding. From the first communication right through to the event itself, their professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional.
The bar setup looked stunning and elevated the whole atmosphere, while the drinks menu was creative, beautifully presented, and tailored perfectly to our guests. The team were friendly, efficient, and made everyone feel so well looked after - nothing was too much trouble.
Emily Power - Private Event 2026
We had Ellie and her team in for a special party we were hosting following our wedding and we could not recommend Bower + Hawthorne enough.
Â
Our guests raved about the bar (itself and the drinks) everything from the service to aesthetics and the mix of cocktails were perfect. The cocktails themselves were better than most I’ve had in high end London bars and restaurants and the presentation was 10/10.
Eve Franklin - Wedding 2026
Wonderful experience from start to the day! Really lovely team, so helpful and kind. The bar looked lovely, everything was perfect.
Â
Made the evening feel really special and everyone loved the cocktails! They were delicious!! They even made up a new one for us as we wanted something a bit different. Highly recommended booking with Bower + Hawthorne!
