Question 2

Do you provide the alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Traveling Tin is a licensed full-service bar caterer, which means we provide the alcohol as part of your selected bar service. Depending on your event, you may choose from hosted beer and wine, beer, wine and spirits, specialty bars, signature cocktails, or cash bar options. We handle the bar so you don’t have to coordinate alcohol separately.
