Amazing bar!

Alex was so responsive and helpful with any queries. On the day Alex and the team were amazing. Not one person was ever without a drink, there were so many drink choices everyone had their favourite all night and the prices were really reasonable. All of the guests highlighted to me that the bar was one of the best they'd ever encountered at a wedding. Cannot recommend enough!

Absolutely Fantastic!!!

Everything about the experience was fantastic! The bar itself is lovely, the drinks were great, and the people were so friendly, they really felt like part of the event and that they were happy to be there. It was a wonderful experience, all our guests loved it. We'll definitely be booking them again!

Glad we chose the Dawdling Duck.

Communication with Alex, prior to our party was professional and responsive. The service on the day was fantastic. Very friendly staff. We had the horse box bar at the recommendation of Alex and it looked great. They even bought my favourite tipple as requested. Would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for a reliable and professional service.

Lovely staff - super friendly and helpful!

Alex and his team were a great help at our wedding. The weather was a bit unpredictable and leading up to the day the team were more than happy to help with last minute adjustments and clearly wanted to make sure everything was perfect. The set up of the portable bar was beautiful and blended nicely into our decorations. We had a lot of comments from guests about how friendly and approachable the staff were. There were a great selection of drinks and it was really useful that The Dawdling Duck were happy to provide all the drinks to go alongside the canapés and wedding breakfast too. Thanks so much!!
