CHFA Now! Vancouver Horizon Distributors

The Brief

Horizon Distributors came to us with an “out of the box” idea for their 3 day tradeshow event. They would be serving smoothies and mocktails that showcased their client’s fresh veggies & fruits. They requested the bar trailer with commercial blenders and servers.

The Event

At Tamp & Muddle Co., we believe in turning visions into realities. When our client approached us with their tradeshow vision, we knew exactly how to bring it to life. We provided our sleek bar trailer, equipped with commercial blenders, hand washing station, and manned by our team of professional staff. Logistically, it looked like a challenge to bring the bar trailer into the interior of Vancouver Convention Center, but we have the experience and expertise to pulling and parking a trailer in tight spaces. Together, we showcased a vibrant array of healthy smoothie and mocktail options, all made using the freshest organic ingredients. Our goal was to not just meet our client's expectations, but to exceed them, leaving a lasting impression on all who experienced the event.

The results

“I think you guys did an amazing job.

I have hired different services from different people over the last few years and I can say that your service was one of the best.

There are specific reasons I think you set yourselves apart from other services and they are:

Lush Cosmetics

The Brief

Introduce local influencers to Lush’s first Spa in Canada, at their Vancouver Robson Street store. Provide a custom branded bar to serve mocktails & tea. Aesthetics were of high importance with clear mugs, martini glasses, carafes, and custom request of boxed water. No plastic to be used for this event.

The Event

To create a premium feel within the spa setting, we popped up with a high-end black bar, finished with white vinyl branding. Following their spa treatments, Tamp & Muddle Co. served herbal teas and mixed a cotton candy “Cloud Cocktail”.

In today's dynamic business landscape, brands are constantly seeking innovative ways to engage with their audience. Whether it's through experiential marketing events or branded activations, companies like Lush Cosmetics understand the importance of creating memorable experiences. One such challenge they faced was coordinating a mobile bar for their Vancouver Spa Opening (first Spa in Canada!) that not only reflected their brand identity but also delivered a seamless and professional service. Enter Tamp & Muddle Co., the solution to Lush's quest for the perfect mobile bar experience.

Solving the Coordination Puzzle:

Lush Cosmetics approached Tamp & Muddle Co. with a specific need: a mobile bar solution that aligned with their brand image and values. Tamp & Muddle Co. took on the challenge with enthusiasm, leveraging their expertise in event coordination and bar services to craft a tailored solution.

The specifics: clear mugs, martini glasses, carafes, boxed water, branded black bar, water boiler and thermoses with bartenders serving their custom mocktails and tea.

Branding Excellence:

One of the key aspects of Lush Cosmetics' requirement was ensuring brand consistency across all touchpoints. Tamp & Muddle Co. rose to the occasion by providing a satellite bar adorned with Lush's logo applied in vinyl. This attention to detail not only enhanced the aesthetics of the mobile bar but also reinforced Lush's brand identity, leaving a lasting impression on event attendees.

Elevating the Experience:

Beyond just branding, Tamp & Muddle Co. went the extra mile to elevate the overall experience for Lush Cosmetics' guests. Understanding the diverse preferences of attendees, they curated a selection of tea and mocktails, served in high-quality glassware rented specifically for the occasion. This thoughtful approach ensured that every guest had access to refreshing beverages tailored to their taste, enhancing their event experience.

Rainbow Greenhouses Inc.

The Brief:

Provide a bar set up large enough to cater to 300 guests at a Greenhouse’s Annual Company Party

The Event

Tamp & Muddle Co. delivered our biggest bar set up to date at 24’ Long. Bar Service was provided by Sister Spirits Bartending, and they requested having one bar station for ease of service. Two Hampton Bars were beside our Ivy Pearl Bar Trailer giving ample space for beverage service, glassware and enhancing the aesthetics of this tropical winter weekend.

The Results

Within a week after the event, we received an email from the Event Coordinator “I've officially been given the go-ahead to start planning our 2025 event, and i'd love for you both to be a part of it.”

Satisfaction Proof is in the pudding!

We absolutely love working with greenhouses…especially in January!! For a second year in a row, we were honored to provide bar set ups for Rainbow Greenhouses Inc.

This is such a fun project for us for a few reasons

#1 Collaboration

We get to work with amazing local vendors like Steph at Party Tree Rentals, Sister Spirits Bartending and Casalinga Food Services. Communicating with Rainbow’s event coordinator, Kaila, was also a pleasure.

#2 The Venue

What creative doesn’t love a blank canvas? Steph did an incredible job of taking an empty greenhouse and turning it into a 5 Star Dinner Venue.

This is also THE perfect type of building for a mobile bar trailer. Literally no issues driving our trailer right in and out. That’s just one of the beauties of a Fraser Valley event. There is so much space!

For a large event with 300 guests, this also allows for our biggest bar setup to date, a 24 foot long bar. With our Hampton Satellite Bars alongside the Cocktail Bar Trailer, there was ample room for guests to get their choice of drink from Sister Spirits.

#3 The Decor

If you haven’t noticed…we kind of like greenery. So collaborating with a tropical plant supplier for their annual company event is pretty much a dream come true. When you walk in with a line up of palm trees, you know you’re in the right place. ESPECIALLY DURING A WINTER STORM.

We had to de-winterize our trailer just in time for this event, and it was nice and cozy inside the greenhouse for the brunt of the arctic outflow. Ivy Pearl is now snugly winterized again until the Spring. The Satellite Bars are available to rent year-round.

3 Benefits of using Glassware at your next event

Welcome to the vibrant world of event hosting, where every gathering is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories. As you gear up for your next event, let's explore why making the switch to glassware can add a touch of sophistication and eco-conscious flair to your celebrations.

1. Eco-Chic Vibes: Reducing Waste, Elevating Style

In our quest for sustainable living, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver, BC residents have embraced the importance of eco-friendly choices. By choosing glassware over disposable cups, you're not just reducing waste; you're making a bold statement about your commitment to the environment.

Disposable cups contribute to our overflowing landfills, taking years to decompose. In contrast, reusable glassware stands as a beacon of sustainability, ensuring that your event leaves a positive impact on both your guests and the planet. Plus, let's be real – sipping from a glass feels infinitely more elegant than a flimsy paper cup!

2. Aesthetic Appeal: Sip in Style, Capture the Moment

Imagine the scene: the sun setting over the mountains, laughter filling the air, and your guests holding beautifully crafted glassware. A picture-perfect moment. With glassware, you're not just serving drinks; you're curating an experience.

Disposable cups may be convenient, but they lack the charm and visual appeal that glassware effortlessly brings to the table – or in this case, to your event. The aesthetic allure of glass elevates the overall atmosphere of your gathering.

3. Preserving Flavor: Elevate Your Taste Experience

The taste of your carefully crafted beverages deserves to be savored in all its glory. Glassware, with its inert and non-porous nature, ensures that your drinks maintain their original flavors, free from any unwanted odors or aftertastes that disposable cups might impart.

Whether it's a crisp white wine, a craft beer, or a signature cocktail, the purity of glass allows your guests to fully appreciate the nuanced flavors of their drinks. By choosing glassware, you're not just serving beverages; you're ensuring that each sip is a delightful experience for the taste buds.

In the dynamic landscape of event hosting in the Fraser Valley and Vancouver, BC, every detail matters. By choosing glassware over disposable cups, you're not just making a practical choice – you're creating an experience that resonates with sustainability, style, and long-term value. Elevate your events, one sip at a time, and let the memories unfold in the radiant glow of glassware sophistication.

Cheers to unforgettable celebrations in the heart of British Columbia!
