Andrew Daley, 34, of Washington Township, had been bartending for over 11 years, primarily working weddings at The Merion in Cinnaminson and a few South Jersey bars.
He originally founded Daley’s Cocktail Catering a few years ago with a dream of taking his mixology skills on the road wherever anybody needed a bartender.
Not long after starting the mobile bartending company, he got a job as head football coach at a local high school, so he put Daley’s Cocktail Catering on the back burner.
Then Covid hit, and that further pushed the bartending business back.
Last March, though, he decided he wanted to put more effort into the bartending business. He resigned from the coaching position, and with his Laura, 33, they are making Daley’s Cocktail Catering their focus.
They started building their inventory this summer and officially launched Daley’s Cocktail Catering about a month ago.
“Our goal is to bring a fun, unique, and personal experience to your next event or party,” Andrew Daley told South Jersey Food Scene. “It’s also important to note that we are fully insured and always practice safe serving techniques.”
They recently launched an Instagram account to showcase and promote their South Jersey mobile bartending services.
“When you hire Daley’s Cocktail Catering for your event, we are another resource to ensure your party or event is as smooth, memorable, and stress-free as possible,” Daley explained. “We are more than just bartenders who come to your party and pour drinks. We are a full bartending service. We are with you throughout every step of planning your event, from creating a personalized specialty menu to helping with inventory and ordering to serving and cleaning up.”
No event or party is too small for cocktail consultation and bartending services. They can accommodate any cocktail party needs, from intimate and casual events to large and formal celebrations. They can work with any customer, too.
Daley emphasized, “We can work with your budgetary needs to ensure that you have the most unique, memorable party possible!”
One thing they do not supply is alcohol, but they bring their expertise to help you determine what and how much you need so you can order what you need to pull off your party. They provide everything else, though.
Daley said they have several bookings and have received some testimonials already.
