Our Story
Wanderlust Libations began with a simple observation. The bar is often one of the most visible parts of an event, yet rarely treated with the same level of thought as everything around it.
We believed it should be different. That the most memorable experiences are shaped by the details people feel, not just the ones they see.
With backgrounds rooted in hospitality, we spent years in environments where service, flow, and guest experience were everything. Through that lens, we saw an opportunity to bring a more intentional approach into private events, where the bar could contribute to the atmosphere rather than sit on the sidelines.
Austin’s path has taken him across the country and internationally, shaping an instinct for both craft and flow behind the bar. His approach is grounded in creating an atmosphere that feels natural, engaging, and seamlessly connected to the moment.
Courtney’s experience in luxury hospitality, shaped in some of the country’s most demanding markets, brings a design-forward perspective. With a background in culinary and operational leadership, her focus has always been on how an experience feels from beginning to end, ensuring every detail is considered and every moment is intentional.
Together, Wanderlust is a reflection of both perspectives. A bar experience that feels elevated, personal, and effortless, designed to complement the event rather than simply serve it.
Every experience is designed to feel effortless, but never accidental.
Why It Matters
The most memorable events are not defined
by what’s there,
but by how they feel.
Our role is to make sure the bar contributes
to that feeling.
Seamlessly, intentionally, and without ever pulling focus from the moment itself.
How We Work
Every experience begins with a conversation.
We take the time to understand your vision, your preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create.
From there, we shape the experience by refining details, developing a menu, and designing a bar presence that feels naturally aligned with your event.
Where appropriate, we offer personalized tastings to ensure every element feels considered and truly your own.
We manage the details behind the scenes so everything flows seamlessly, from first pour to final guest.
By the time your event arrives, everything has been considered.
The result is a bar that feels effortless, but never accidental.
