Chris & Becca couldn’t have provided a better service for us on our wedding day. Firstly, the van looked amazing and everyone commented on how great the setup was! Secondly, the level of service they both provided was both so professional and personal. Every detail was considered and catered for, and their communication leading up to the event was without fault. By the end of the weekend, we felt as if we’d gained two extra friends and that they were an integral part of our wedding day memories. We can’t recommend or thank them enough - Chris & Becca, cheers to you both.

Went to a wedding in September 2025 where The Drinky Tin was providing the drinks. Oh my goodness, such an amazing service! The set up looked fab, all the guests absolutely loved the whole vintage / retro vibe, and the drinks were amazing. So much to choose from, and so fairly priced too. I had Passion Fruit Martinis, Vodka Tonics, and far too many more 🤣. Chris and Becca provided such a fun, friendly and professional service, all the guests were continually gravitating to them all afternoon and evening. Cannot recommend them highly enough. If you’re having an event and are looking for drinks catering with a fun, bouncy and happy vibe, with great pricing, get The Drinky Tin booked in 🍸 👍🏻🌟.

The Drinky Tin were the most fantastic addition to our wedding last Saturday. Super friendly, so many drinks selections at reasonable prices. The guests and site staff all commented on what an amazing job they did. If you ever needed a mobile bar, there is only one place you need! Chris especially had excellent communication before and after the wedding too and it made things so much smoother!

When I discovered these guys for our festival style wedding, I was excited, to say the very least. They seemed a great fit for the vibe we were going for. What I could not have foreseen was quite how brilliant these guys would be. They were flexible, helpful, always on-hand throughout the planning and on the day were an absolute delight to our guests. They were calm under pressure, they kept us calm and up-to-date throughout, and made a real effort to make the process as easy and as special as possible. Furthermore, the van itself is gorgeous, and it brought the festival to life in a way we couldn’t have imagined. We have had no end of praise from our guests, and the team even let us newly weds serve some drinks from the bar. I cannot recommend these guys enough - I will not be hesitating to book them again when next I plan such an event. Mikey and Will
