Our Story
Who We Are
I’m Nicole, and this is my Husband, Rob. We have 3 kids Faith, Jadyn & Beckham.
My husband and I have over 40 years of combined experience in the bar & restaurant industry. It never mattered what our full-time jobs were we always still bartended on the side somewhere. We both believe there is a difference between a bartender and a mixologist. There is a craft to building and creating drinks. Rob also does wedding and corporate videography. I say this because his creative eye and mind for drinks really sets us apart from so many others. Our drinks and fun energy will be infectious and sure to bring excitement to your party.
Back story
We bought this business in May 2022. While working in Marketing and advertising for 10 years, I met Robbie, who started Tipsy Pony Party Bar. After he sponsored an event for my company, we had a meeting to see if I could help him with his advertising. When I sat down to meet with him, I found his biggest need was finding the right person to buy his business. I remember telling him, "I don’t know if you believe in God, but I call this a God smack!”
Prior to this, I had felt that God was pushing me out of my career. I was very conflicted, as this career was another God-led decision. I thought I would retire from here. Why would he want to take me out of this amazing, secure career? I started praying hard for several months about leaving my job.
After meeting with Robbie, of course, I continued to pray. I went home, talked with my husband about buying this business, and told Robbie to go home, talk to his wife, and figure out what he wanted to sell the business for. Within 2 weeks, I gave him a contract. I worked for him part-time while still working my full-time job for almost a year. (This was May 2021) As the time went by and the end of the year was coming, I was so exhausted physically and mentally and started praying again. I was watching a pastor, and she said, “I don’t know who this is for, but stop asking God if you should leave your job and start that business. Leave your TIME IS DONE!” He can’t open the next door/blessing until you're willing to give up the one you're in.” I came out of the room crying from feeling and believing that it was for me. I told my husband I was quitting my job that day. In March 2022, two weeks after I left my career, they announced its sale. Almost everyone lost their jobs! It’s not odd; it’s God!
