We love any addition to a wedding that makes the day feel less formal and more relaxed and fun, which is why we're huge fans of mobile bars and coffee vans. Thankfully, in Ireland, you're spoiled for choice - there are lots of mobile drinks stations for hire that will park up at your ceremony or reception venue on the big day and serve Prosecco, cocktails or coffee (or a combination of all three!) As well as keeping your guests watered, these mobile bars are a fun surprise that instantly get the good times rolling! So today, we're sharing a round-up of some cute coffee vans and mobile bars for weddings in Ireland!
