Our Story

Grab a drink, sit back, and let us share our story with you. We are a husband and wife duo bartending service based in colorful Colorado.

Our team is like a perfectly crafted cocktail - diverse, unique, and always ready to shake things up. In 2009, our paths crossed while working in the bustling environments of restaurants, where we honed our skills in both the front and back of house. The spark of passion for genuine service and heartfelt hospitality ignited a shared dream that would accompany us through various industries and life stages.

Fast forward to 2020, amidst the uncertainties of a global pandemic, we made the spontaneous decision to elope in the scenic beauty of Colorado. Just the two of us, alongside a photographer and our fur baby, we exchanged vows atop St. Mary’s Glacier. While the intimacy of the moment was profound, our hearts longed to celebrate with loved ones, with a taco truck and some banging cocktails in the oasis of the Rocky Mountains. So we thought, how can we create that feeling for others?!

Fueled by a passion for creativity, we channeled our love into crafting experiences that resonate with joy and warmth. We believe in creating an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and celebrated. Our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community is not just a statement; it is an integral part of our values and mission. We recognize the importance of diversity and strive to foster a spirit of acceptance and love in every event we partake in.

Our team embraces the rich tapestry of humanity, ensuring that every guest is treated with respect and dignity. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a corporate event, or a private celebration, our services are designed to reflect the uniqueness of each individual and the vibrant stories they bring.

By choosing Velvet Alchemy, you’re not only receiving top-notch bartending services; you’re also supporting a business that stands firmly with the LGBTQ+ community, advocating for equality and joy in every pour. Let’s make memories together that celebrate love in all its forms!
