⚠️ Important: How Our Bar Works

Spirited Affairs operates on a host-provided bar model. We do not hold a liquor license, which means we cannot provide, sell, or serve alcohol directly to your guests. The host purchases and provides all alcoholic beverages. If your venue holds a liquor license, alcohol may be sold to guests through the venue's licensed operation. This model is fully compliant with California ABC regulations and is the standard for private event bartending.

Sacred Moments

Wedding Officiant

Your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day, and it deserves words that are as unique as your love story. Matthew Taylor is an ordained officiant with three years of experience crafting and delivering ceremonies that range from simple and intimate to grand and theatrical.

Every ceremony is custom-written. We take the time to learn your story, your values, and your vision, then weave them into a ceremony that feels authentic to you. Whether you want a traditional exchange of vows, a modern celebration with personal readings, or something entirely your own, we'll help you create a moment you and your guests will never forget.

High Stakes

Poker & Casino-Style Dealing

Casino nights were the heartbeat of the 1920s, and we bring that energy to your celebration. Matthew Taylor is a professionally trained poker dealer who runs polished, fast-paced games that keep the whole room entertained — no experience required from your guests.

We arrive with a casino-grade chip set, professional cards, and a dealer who can teach a table of first-timers or keep a room of sharks honest. Texas Hold'em tournaments, Blackjack rounds, or dealer's-choice — chips are play-money, so the stakes are bragging rights and the fun is guaranteed.

Game Options

Texas Hold'em sit-and-go tournaments
Blackjack and dealer's-choice games
Casino-grade chips and professional cards
Rules instruction for new players
Second dealer available for large events
Ideal for bachelor & bachelorette parties

Tray-Passed Service

Cocktail Servers

A great bar still needs someone to move the drinks. Our servers pass cocktails on trays through the crowd, work the room so nobody queues twice, and quietly collect spent glassware before it stacks up on a table. It is the difference between a party where guests serve themselves and one that feels looked after.

Professional tray-passed cocktail service — $85/hr per server
Continuous glassware clearing and bar-area tidy-up
Warm, event-trained presence in formal black-and-gold styling
Coordination with our bartender on pacing and pours
Flexible shifts — one server for a few hours or a team for the night
