His & Hers Signature Cocktails have been unmistakably a top preforming request from my couples!
A considered pairing of signature cocktails, designed to reflect you both individually while complementing your overall bar experience.
This is where your menu becomes personal — refined, memorable, and entirely tailored to your celebration, and you!
While working closely together, I create combinations that feel balanced, intentional, and effortlessly aligned with your wedding style.
Common directions include a contrast of profiles (light and rich, fresh and bold), shared flavour notes, or drinks inspired by your story.
Each pairing is thoughtfully developed to feel cohesive within your wider cocktail selection, or to be the focal point of the bar.
• Complimentary Bar Hire (usually valued at $150.00) — styled, organised, and ready to impress.
• A fully custom cocktail menu, designed & printed exclusively for your day — a keepsake that’s yours to take home if you wish.
• Signature wedding cocktails crafted to reflect your story, favourite flavours, and the vibe of your celebration. Choose your cocktails here, or have CJ Drinks design the menu from scratch! (Nothing is off limits)
• Pre-ceremony and post-ceremony beverage service, ensuring guests are welcomed and refreshed from the first moment.
• Elevated non-alcoholic options that feel just as special — because every guest deserves something beautiful to drink.
