What began as a casual Sunday conversation quickly turned into a Southeast Iowa dream — and thus, The Bougie Barrel was born.
We’re here to take the stress out of your special moments, offering a seamless, stylish, and unforgettable mobile bar experience. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, private party, or something in between, we've got you covered.
Our beautifully restored horse trailer, Wynona, brings charm, elegance, and a touch of bougie flair to any celebration.
Let us help you create memories — one pour at a time.
Step One: Inquiry
Start by sending us an email to submit an inquiry and tell us a little about your event! This is how we will be able to decide what package + add ons would best suit your needs!
Step Two: Proposal
Based on your information from your inquiry, we will assemble a package and pricing proposal for you to review.
Step Three: Contract & Deposit
When you are ready to book, an agreement form will be emailed for your review and signature. A 30% deposit is required at this time to secure your booking. You have now booked The Bougie Barrel for your special event!
Step Four: Event Questionnaire
About 60 days before your event we will email a questionnaire for you to complete. This will finalize event details.
Step Five: Event Execution
The Bougie Barrel arrives at your event 90 minutes before beverage service begins. Then, we serve you and your guests the experience you dreamed of!
Please reach us at jessica@thebougiebarrel.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We serve all types of events and celebrations! Weddings, fairs, baby showers, graduations, corporate events, fundraisers, birthdays, holiday parties and so much more!
We offer a wide range of drinks, including beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Since the Bougie Barel is mobile and is not affixed to a physical address, we are unable to secure a permanent liquor license. If you want liquor to be served, we do apply for the Iowa Liquor License on behalf of our clients at an additional cost.
Getting an alcohol license isn't a quick process. We have to apply for one and by the time we get all the details worked out, apply with Iowa Alcohol and Beverage Division, pass through city/county councils, and then get final approval from ABD, the process can take 60 days.
Yes! We currently service the entire state of Iowa. 50 miles of travel are included from Ottumwa, IA, each additional mileage we charge $1.00 per mile.
Yes! We carry general liability insurance and liquor liability insurance.
We will need at least 8x12ft space with enough room to back the trailer into your desired spot.
Being able to plug into an outlet would be ideal, but if that option is not available we can provide our own generator with additional charge.
Of course! As long as there is enough space and doors are 8 feet tall, she can be used for indoor events.
