Wedding Shower Bartending Services
Mimosa flights, a 'His & Hers' signature cocktail, and a bar that photographs as beautifully as the couple.
A wedding shower is the first time both sides of the family meet over a drink — and everyone remembers whether it went smoothly. Empire Pour designs a bubbly-forward menu built around the couple: a signature cocktail named for each of them, mimosa flights with real seasonal juice (not orange from concentrate), and a bar that photographs like it belongs on the couple's wedding-day mood board. We pour so both moms can actually enjoy the shower they helped plan.

Wedding Shower FAQs
How much does a wedding shower bartender cost?
Wedding shower bartending in Western NY typically starts around $450 for smaller intimate showers and scales with guest count. We'll send a flat-rate quote within 24 hours.
Can you do a mimosa or bellini bar?
Yes — bubbly bars are our most-booked wedding shower add-on, especially for daytime showers in Pittsford, Amherst and Skaneateles.
Do you provide décor for the bar?
Our portable bar is elegant enough for shower photos as-is, and we can coordinate signage, floral, and menu cards on request.
Is a wedding shower different from a bridal shower?
'Wedding shower' typically includes both partners and mixed guests, while a 'bridal shower' celebrates the bride. We tailor the menu and vibe accordingly — see our bridal shower page for that side.
How far in advance should I book?
Wedding showers should be booked 2–4 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season weekends (May–October) across Western NY.
