Mobile bars at weddings are still a relatively new trend — and they're appearing in everything from Airstream trailers to food trucks to ... horse trailers.
We caught up with The Easy Pour's Chris Webster ahead of The Easy Pour's appearance at the Alexandria Wedding Showcase.
The Alexandria Wedding Showcase is this Sunday, April 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Alexandrian Hotel in Old Town Alexandria.

Showcase ticket-holders will have a chance at winning prizes valued at more than $15,000.
ALM: Why is your business a great option for couples in Alexandria and elsewhere?
The Easy Pour Mobile Bar Service is the perfect addition to any event! Our bars are a great way to bring an added element to weddings, bridal parties, and other gatherings. The Easy Pour brings the party, and our unique bars and gorgeous drinks become talking points that guests remember. We provide as much as we can to make planning your event as easy as possible.
ALM: At what point in the wedding planning process should couples start working with you?
We love to work with couples at all points in the planning process, but we book up fast; sometimes up to a year out. To ensure the best chance of us having the date available, the sooner you reach out to us the better! For couples just now choosing their venue, our advice is to inquire with us as soon as you have a venue and date selected.
ALM: Do you have any need-to-know advice for newly engaged couples?
When it comes to selecting drinks for your guests, remember that it’s your special day first and foremost. If you have an absolute favorite beer, wine, or cocktail, be sure to have that available for yourselves! That’ll make that drink so much sweeter every time you have it for years to come. You don’t need to have the same thing as your guests. Let us know, and we’ll happily keep your drink of choice ready for you to enjoy.
ALM: How can couples prepare to have an incredible experience working with you?
We love educating couples on all things alcohol. Most of our bartenders are also teachers, so we love sharing the history of specific cocktails, spirits, and ingredients with couples and their guests. Mobile bars are still a new trend, and throughout the process of working together, we like to explain the reasons behind our suggestions and inform others about the industry. We believe that the more informed our clients are, the better choices they’ll be able to make when it comes to making their selections.
ALM: Where can potential clients find you?
