🍹 NOW HIRING BARTENDERS FOR OUR 2027 SEASON! 🍹

Sugar Maple Taps is growing, and we’re looking to add part-time special event bartenders to our team for the 2027 season!

Are you an experienced bartender looking to pick up a few weekend events without committing to an entire summer behind the bar? We might have the perfect opportunity for you!

Sugar Maple Taps provides mobile bartending services for events throughout Wisconsin, including:

🍸 Weddings
🎉 Private Parties
🏢 Corporate Events
🎂 Birthdays
🥂 Special Events & Celebrations
…and just about any other event that could use a great bartending team!

As we continue to grow and book more events across Wisconsin, we’re looking to build a larger team of dependable, outgoing bartenders who enjoy creating a great experience for guests.

As a Sugar Maple Taps bartender, we provide:

🚗 Fuel reimbursement for event travel
💵 Flat-rate event pay before tips
💰 Tips in addition to your event wage
🏨 Lodging for qualifying late-night or overnight events
📅 Flexible, event-based scheduling
🍹 The opportunity to work unique events throughout Wisconsin

This is a great opportunity for bartenders who already have a full-time job, work at another bar or restaurant, or simply want to pick up a handful of fun events throughout the season without committing every weekend of their summer.

Our events can take us all over Wisconsin, so every weekend can bring somewhere new, a different crowd, and a completely different event!

Interested in joining the Sugar Maple Taps team for 2027?

Send us a message to learn more about available positions, pay, scheduling, event expectations, and what it’s like to bartend with Sugar Maple Taps.

We’d love to hear from you!

✨ Vendor Spotlight ✨

Now that wedding planning is officially underway, we’re so excited to start sharing some of the AMAZING vendors we’ve chosen for our big day!

First up — our photographer: Madison Dahlquist Photography

From the very first time we looked at Madison’s work, we just knew. Her photos feel so real, emotional, and natural — not stiff or overly posed — which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. She has such a great way of capturing genuine moments, the in-between laughs, and all the little details that make the day feel like you.

Being based right here in the Northwoods, Madison truly understands how to use our beautiful lakes, trees, and natural light to tell a story — and that made choosing her even more special. On top of that, she’s incredibly easy to talk to, down-to-earth, and made us feel comfortable right away (huge win for anyone who says they’re “awkward in photos”).

As business owners in the wedding industry ourselves, choosing vendors we genuinely trust and believe in means everything to us — and Madison checked every box.

If you’re engaged and still looking for a photographer, we can’t recommend her enough. We’re beyond excited to have her capture our wedding day and all the memories that come with it!

What Is a Dry Hire Mobile Bar?

At Sugar Maple Taps, we operate as a dry hire mobile bar rental, which means we bring everything to your event except the alcohol itself, and then we handle the rest from there.

What we provide:
• Our fully renovated, state-of-the-art mobile bar trailer
• Professional, certified bartenders
• Cups, straws, and napkins
• Mixers, sodas, and juices
• Fresh garnishes and house-made syrups
• Ice for cocktails and service
• Water station
• Coffee and tea station
• 4-tap kegerator with CO₂
• Generator and fuel to power the entire mobile bar at any location
• Optional Starlink internet add-on for streaming and connectivity
• General and liquor liability insurance
• Full setup, service, and cleanup

To comply with Wisconsin state liquor laws, the client purchases the alcohol for an open-bar style event. On event day, Sugar Maple Taps arrives, stocks our shelves with your alcohol, and provides full bartending service for you and your guests. At the end of the event, we cap all opened bottles and return all used and unused liquor, b**r, w**e, or other alcoholic beverages back to you.

To make things even easier, we go above and beyond by creating a custom alcohol shopping list for your event, taking the guesswork and planning off your plate. Purchasing the alcohol yourself also allows you to choose the quality and brands you prefer, while keeping full control of your budget.

It’s an stress-free, fully compliant way to enjoy a premium cocktail experience, where our entire bar comes to you!

Thinking ahead to a 2026 celebration? Now’s the perfect time to get on our calendar, reach out to Sugar Maple Taps before dates fill up!

Introducing our Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashioned — a cozy twist on a timeless classic. Crafted with K**b Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon, a touch of our handcrafted maple syrup, a hint of cinnamon, and bitters, this cocktail is where warmth meets nostalgia.

We muddle fresh fruit and finish it with a splash of Sprite for balance, then garnish it with a toasted marshmallow and cinnamon stick for the perfect blend of sweet, smoky, and spiced.

It’s rich, comforting, and a sip that lingers like a glowing campfire on a cool evening. 🔥🥃
