“Everyone loved the choice of drinks they provided”
We booked the Dotty Mares to serve drinks throughout the day of our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic!
Everyone loved the choice of drinks they provided including locally sourced beer and special touches like ‘pimp your prosecco.’ We had people passing by the field where the reception was held asking where they could book them which shows just how good they looked and how popular they were on the day.
The team are unbelievably friendly and helped make our day extremely special. Thank you very much! Cannot wait to have you at the next event - whenever that may be. Love Amy & John xx
We had Dotty Mares for our daughters wedding, great success!

"This is a beautiful bespoke bar."
If you want to add an extra special something to your event you need Dotty Mares. This is a beautiful bespoke bar that started life as a horse box and is run as a family business by sisters Nicola and Karen. They are two of the most friendliest and professional people I could recommend and your event will be in safe hands drink wise! 🎉 🥂 🍾

“5 star service with a fantastic friendly approach… exactly what mobile events are about”
Dotty Mares attended our annual Christmas Street Fayre in Cookham Village this year and went down a storm! From booking point to the end of the event, the team were outstanding in their professionalism, organisation, quality and support at our event. They sum up exactly what mobile events are about and judging by the feedback of our visitors, we truly hope they will attend each year. Superb 5 star service with a fantastic friendly approach - Jus Moody

“The Dotty Mares team went the extra mile”
We needed help for a charity family fun day and Dotty Mares were one of the first people to offer their support. The Dotty Mares team went the extra mile in making sure the refreshments they offered suited the needs for our guests. We were blown away by the money they helped us raise for a charity that is very close to our hearts, Maggie-Mae’s brighter future fund. After losing our daughter, Maggie-Mae to Leukaemia, this fund was set up with Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital to directly fund their groundbreaking research into childhood cancer and Leukaemia. Thank you Dotty Mares Team. Great Ormond Street will do great things with this money.
We absolutely loved using Dotty Mares for our fundraising event. The team went over and beyond to offer our guests great refreshments and the van is just so beautiful. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for drinks your guests will love!!

“A superb service from some truly lovely people”
Dotty Mares provided refreshment for our walkers at our inaugural Breast Walk Ever Berkshire Event for Against Breast Cancer - a research charity for secondary spread cancer. The horse box was a wonderful addition to the finishing village and the participants were absolutely delighted with the contents of course! They even put on ale for the men who were supporting their mums, wives, girlfriends and families. A superb service from some truly lovely people. Will definitely use again.

“The Dotty Mares were amazing to work with”
Well what a delight! Dotty is the most beautiful travelling bar. Everything about her is of premium quality. Having her parked at any event will help decorate the venue! She really is stunning to look at.
From the first emails we exchanged to leaving at the end of our party, The Dotty Mares were amazing to work with. We knew we were in extremely safe hands. Karen, Nicola and Ben were professional and fun ... with an incredible attention to detail. A wonderful family run business - they have a real passion for what they do, which shines through.
Every tiny thing has been thought of ... the choice of drinks was perfect ... with something for everyone. Our team loved ‘pimping their Prosecco’ and choosing their pretty paper straws!
I would highly recommend booking Dotty for any event - you won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic drinks offering and a really friendly team who know their drinks inside out! Perfect for adding that extra special touch to any event. Would highly recommend Dotty Mares for everything from summer parties to weddings! 10/10 - Said
Great service and super friendly staff! Absolutely loved having them at our event. Their selection of paper straws was also top notch :) - Gemma

“What lovely people, already looking for an excuse so I can book them again!”
An Amazing bar run by such lovely people! I booked Dotty Mares after finding them on Instagram for my Husband 30th garden party back in July. The booking process was so smooth, they answered all my questions and I was so thankful to find such a lovely set up with lovely people. On the day, dotty's turned up in plenty of time to set up, their drinks selection is just the best! Nicky and Karen are just lovely as are their husbands; all so friendly and welcoming. The bar itself looks fantastic and is so beautifully done. All round outstanding service. Would not hesitate to book again... Already looking for an excuse so I can book them again! Thank you Dotty Mares! We love you! :-)

"New Feature for our Beer Festival!
We have been organising and running a Beer Festival every year for 11 years in order to raise funds for local charities. After several years of persuasion, the men on the organising committee agreed to have a Gin and Prosecco bar as an experiment as I have wanted to provide something other than beer and cider for the ladies who attend the Festival.
Was it a success? Thanks to Dotty Mares it was an outstanding success! The wonderful horsebox appeared and was quickly set-up and ready to service drinks in a very short time. Karen and Nicola are fantastic and made friends very easily with everyone who came to the bar.
We will definitely have Dotty Mares again in 2020 to add a splash of colour and a lot of glamour to our event!"

They are an extremely friendly team.
Dotty Mares attended the Windsor Women’s 10k on Saturday 28th September 2019. They are an extremely friendly team at Dotty Mares very easy to work with and although an early start they were warmly welcomed by our runners. Would definitely recommend Dotty Mares and hopefully we will see them at our event again in 2020.

Booking the Dotty Mares crew was so simple and easy.
What a fantastic idea for any event... our guests absolutely loved the whole concept and could not get enough of what Dotty Mares had to offer! Nicola and Karen are so professional, friendly and super Organised. Nothing is ever too much. Booking the Dotty Mares crew was so simple and easy and their flexibility to adapt to any venue just makes the experience of planning a wedding or event so much easier. I cannot recommend them enough!

So professional and I will recommend them again and again
The moment I spoke to Dotty Mares about my charity fireworks event I knew they would be fantastic ! The horse box was so beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The team were so friendly and a pleasure to work with. The mulled wine was delicious and the hot spiced apple was amazing. The mince pies added a lovely touch.
I cannot wait to have another event and have them back - so professional and I will recommend them again and again.

The idea of having cocktails delivered to the door was very exciting, especially during these times. The excitement continued right up to the last drop of Negroni cocktail I ordered. The presentation and the added extras to the cocktails were lovely. I will definitely order again. Thank you again for delivering!
