Our Story
Bower + Hawthorne was founded by Brandon and Ellie, a husband-and-wife team with backgrounds in drinks and events respectively. From the outset, the ambition was simple: bring both disciplines together with the same level of expertise, care and attention to detail.
​
Today, we provide mobile bar hire across Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire and London, working across weddings, private celebrations and corporate events. From cocktails at a country-house wedding in the South Downs to a pay bar for a corporate evening in London, or a private masterclass in Surrey, every booking receives the same thoughtful approach.
​
We believe the best events are built on the details. So we plan carefully, know our drinks inside out and stay closely involved from the first conversation through to the final pour. We take on the right events at the right scale, allowing us to give each one the attention it deserves and deliver a bar that feels effortless on the day.
Our Philosophy
What Guides Us
Complementary Expertise, Shared Ambition
Expertise in both drinks and events sits at the heart of what we do. Each brings its own knowledge and experience, working together seamlessly to create thoughtful, well-executed occasions.
Every Detailed Considered
Careful pre-event planning and experienced on-the-day management ensure the details are taken care of, the service runs smoothly and clients can focus on the occasion itself.
Thoughtful Drinks, Delivered Beautifully
Great drinks begin with genuine knowledge, thoughtful preparation and attention to detail. We focus on quality ingredients, considered menus and confident service - creating a bar that feels effortless, memorable and right for the occasion.
Considered By Design
We’ve built the business deliberately, choosing to grow with care rather than for growth’s sake. That means taking on the right events, maintaining high standards and giving each client the attention and expertise their occasion deserves.
Our Location
Based in the South East, wherever the occasion takes us.
​
We provide mobile bar hire across East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, London and the surrounding areas. This is where we know the venues, suppliers and landscape best, from coastal celebrations and country estates to city weddings and corporate events.
​
But a mobile bar should never be limited by a postcode. We’re happy to travel further afield for the right event, bringing the same considered approach, drinks expertise and experienced service wherever we’re needed.
