Why Sunny Cups

A Complete Mobile Beverage Experience, Not Just One Cart.

Most of the events we cater mix stations: a matcha cart paired with a lemonade stand, a mocktail bar next to a hot chocolate bar, or a flower bar alongside any of them, because guests remember the experience, not just the drink. Sunny Cups designs a full beverage experience around your event, from the first quote to the last cup.

Planning coffee too? Espresso bars and coffee stations are available through our sister brand at sunnycups.coffee.
