Bear & Stone
I'm planning

Private cocktail service · Weddings

Craft cocktails for your wedding.

A signature drink for each of you, a bar that runs on schedule, and a crew that fades into the background when the toasts start.

What we do

Private events and bar consulting

Bear & Stone is run by Vay Su, partner at Vandell and former lead bartender at République, with more than 15 years behind Los Angeles bars. Same standards as a Saturday night service, brought to your venue or your new bar.

Process

How an event comes together

  1. Inquire

  2. Menu & tasting

    We build a short menu around your taste, then adjust it at a tasting.

  3. Shopping list

    You get an exact list of bottles and quantities for your guest count. No guessing, no waste.

  4. Event night

    We arrive early with tools, prepped syrups, garnish and an ice plan, and leave the bar clean.
