Events
Every event has its own energy. Some are intimate and celebratory. Some are social and high-spirited. Some are about bringing people together around a brand, a moment or a shared experience. Maria builds drinks-led events around that energy - giving guests the freedom to enjoy the night in the way that suits them best.
From private celebrations and corporate gatherings to public pop-ups and ticketed classes, each event is built around the kind of atmosphere you want to create and the way people want to enjoy the night.
With a strong foundation in cocktails and deep knowledge of alcohol-free, functional and mid-strength drinks, Maria designs experiences that go far beyond a standard drinks event - creating something more flexible, expressive and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Whether the focus is connection, celebration, discovery or simply having a brilliant time together, each experience is tailored around the group, the setting and the style of drinking that feels right for the occasion. That might mean full-strength serves using Kent-based spirits and local produce, an entirely low and no menu, or a more mood-led approach that brings functional drinks into the mix.
Events can be delivered as standalone experiences or as part of a wider programme, with formats ranging from guided tastings and interactive masterclasses to pop-up bars and more bespoke collaborations. Maria also works with a trusted network of partners to build more complete experiences where needed, helping create occasions that feel considered from start to finish.
