How Otterly Tipsy Works with Corporate Clients

Consultation & Budgeting

We begin by understanding the event’s objectives: is the bar a networking tool, a ticketed add-on, or a complement to seated dining? We collaborate with event managers, corporate planners, and venue coordinators to ensure bar placement, staffing levels, and equipment align with the overall event plan.

Menu & Beverage Strategy

For corporate events, we recommend a balanced approach: an approachable selection of beer and wine, two or three well-executed cocktails, and quality non-alcoholic options. We can craft signature cocktails that subtly incorporate brand colors or flavors for a customized guest experience.
