The Best Wedding Caterers in Essex Junction, VT

802 Cocktails is one of the very few "exclusive" Bar Catering companies in the state of Vermont. This is a unique advantage for you because many of the other bar catering companies in the area are affiliated with a restaurant, hotel, bar, or food catering company. This can often lead to you and your event being further down their priority list and the quality and attention to detail can be unsatisfactory. At 802 Cocktails we only have one priority: You and your beverage service. We specialize in one thing: Bar service. And we execute this service better than anyone else, and at a better value.

From all out BBQ buffets, to the taco bars, to plated dinners of any kind, we have it all and can do it just about anywhere. We also specialize in appetizers, cheese and dip presentations, and stationed hors d'oeuvres. All dietary restrictions can be compensated for and we are happy to oblige.
