The Team behind the dream
Grab a drink, sit back, and let us share our story with you. We are a husband and wife duo bartending service based in Denver, Colorado. Our team is like a perfectly crafted cocktail - diverse, unique, and always ready to shake things up!
When we met in 2009 we were in the grind of the restaurant world. We spent a lot of days dreaming of owning a business and bringing our love of genuine service & hospitality to fruition. It took us some time to get here, but the wait was worth it! As it came time to build a business, a brand, a name, we delved deep to find meaning and identity.

Velvet Alchemy is a combination of feeling and transformation.
Velvet is the energy we bring to every event.
Velvet is stepping into a low light speakeasy with melodic jazz in the background.
Velvet is the flickering of candlelight as dancers waltz across the floor.
Alchemy is a transforming of liquid into gold.
Alchemy is a universal elixir cure.
Alchemy is a magical process of creation.
As we bring these elements together in a glass, the passion of Velvet Alchemy rises to the surface.
A Well Balanced Team is like a well balanced cocktail
We have our individual strengths and they shine through in every aspect of what we do for our business.
Remember when we said we met working in restaurants? Well Mario was working front of the house and he was on the front lines for guest interactions. He plays the same role at Velvet Alchemy, handling most of the client communications, it all starts with a phone call when you submit an inquiry. Mario is there to learn more about your event, walk you through processes and packages and create a custom quote. He coordinates all things technical and official: contracts, invoices, ya know the boring but necessary stuff.
Brandi takes the reigns with the creative. That early restaurant life began with a culinary degree and back of the house experience. So it’s no surprise Brandi takes on the menu development & recipe testing. She also has an eye for design (thank the years of crafting) so she does all the heavy lifting with social media & website design.
