What to Know Before Booking a Coffee Cart for Your Event
Thinking about hiring a coffee cart for your wedding, corporate event, or party? Here’s everything you should know before booking to make the process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free.
At Summit Sips, we bring charm, great coffee, and a beautifully designed cart to your celebration. Whether it's a wedding coffee bar, a mobile espresso station at your conference, or a unique vendor for your baby shower, here's how to prep for the best experience.
🔌 1. Power Source: What We Need to Brew
We typically need access to a standard 120v power outlet. If your event is outdoors or your venue doesn’t have electricity nearby, no worries—we’re happy to help you explore alternative options or suggest a quiet generator rental that works for your setup.
📏 2. Space Requirements: How Much Room We Need
Our mobile coffee cart is compact but mighty! We need a flat surface around 6’ x 6’ to serve drinks comfortably. If your event is indoors, check with the venue to confirm that carts or vendor booths are allowed inside.
☕ 3. Service Timing + Guest Count
Let us know:
When you want drinks served (pre-ceremony, during cocktail hour, etc.)
Approximate guest count
This helps us prep drink quantities and assign the perfect number of baristas for smooth service.
📋 4. Menu Customization Options
We offer seasonal drinks, espresso classics, and fun soda bar add-ons. Want a signature flavor like lavender, matcha, or caramel? We love curating custom coffee menus that reflect your theme or personal favorites.
💧 5. Access + Load-In Info
Details like how far our cart needs to be wheeled in, if there are stairs, tight corners, or elevators, and where we can park are all important. Share those in advance so setup is smooth and stress-free.
