We get excited when we see females rocking positions we usually see as a male dominated area. Bartending is often displayed as something mostly men do, but things have never been farther from the truth, especially when it comes to Candace Duncan. Candy Bar Personal Bartending Services is where luxury meets bartending, and where we get to see the definition of a true boss babe surpassing the levels of the bartending game as we know it.
We had a chat with Candace, the owner of Candy Bar Personal Bartending Services. Our conversation was particularly about how couples should approach the idea of creating their own signature cocktails for their wedding. We were glad she echoed what we always share with our audience and our couples. She believes your cocktails should without a doubt be all about you. If all of the other details are all about your style as a couple, why should your signature cocktails be any different.
Her Process
To start the process, she talks about the drinks and flavors you enjoy as a person. She and her team know how to tend to your guests and will get to the discussion about what you want them to be served, but your signature cocktails are all about the cocktails the two of you enjoy the most. This is indeed another way your personality is shown throughout your wedding.
When Candace is meeting with clients, she wants to know a few things. These include what type of alcohol they like to drink and if they have a favorite drink. Sharing your favorite drink can give an idea of the lane to take when creating something custom and specific. If you are still having a little difficulty, it’s fine. She also shares a drink list with you to get the ideas flowing. If you are open to it, she can introduce you to something different and she always offers a tasting.
She presents two options to her potential clients for their drink choices: something sweet, cute and feminine for the bride and a bourbon or dark cognac for the groom. There are times when couples may even like the same type of drink. This isn’t a deal breaker as Candace is skilled and flexible in still being sure they are different and representative of your personal styles while complimenting you as a couple.
