From black-tie to backyard, Sip Happens brings the bar - effortlessly elevating your event
After over a decade in the service industry, I launched Sip Happens to bring a new kind of unforgettable bar experience straight to your event. As a woman-owed business servicing the Chicagoland area- We are passionate about great drinks, positive energy, and creating moments that leave a lasting impression.
At Sip Happens, every cocktail is made with intention - it’s not just a drink, it’s part of your event's experience. As a mobile bar, we design each menu around your vision, your guests, and your aesthetic. Whether you’re into the tried-and-true or craving something custom, your cocktails should match the energy of your celebration. We believe that when a drink is made with love, you can taste it.
Better cocktails start with better ingredients. That’s why we proudly use locally sourced mixers, garnishes, and seasonal elements whenever possible - supporting small farms and trusted local vendors along the way.
From weddings to work parties, and every celebration in between - we bring the bar to you. Sip Happens takes care of the setup, the service, and everything behind the bar, so you can focus on your people.
