Hey, I'm Cruz – a husband, proud dog dad, and lover of good drinks and even better company. After more than a decade immersed in the event world, I realized something fundamental: people don't just want a party... they want an experience. One that feels easy, intentional, and completely them. And that's exactly what I set out to create with Tapped & Tailored.

I've always been the one who obsesses over the little details – the way lighting changes a space, the perfect playlist, the signature drink that gets everyone talking. I wanted to take all of that creative energy and build something that makes hosting less stressful and way more fun. So, I combined my love for styling, design, and exceptional event service to bring you something different: a tailored experience where the overall vibe and every custom detail matter just as much as what's in the glass.

Tapped & Tailored is for the people who show up for their people. The ones planning birthdays, weddings, showers, retirements, and just-because parties in backyards and beyond. If you want to impress your guests, create lasting memories, and still kick back and enjoy the moment, you're my kind of host.

This business is personal for me. Every event I take on, I treat like my own. Because you deserve more than just a vendor; you deserve someone who sees your vision, cares about your guests, and brings the good times with style and seamless execution.

Let's craft something unforgettable together. I'll bring the vision, the design, the unique experiences, and yes, the perfect pour, so you can focus on the celebration.

Hey, I'm Tony – beer enthusiast, co-founder of Tapped & Tailored, and the guy who never turns down a good drink or a great conversation.

I spent over 10 years in the beverage industry, working with Coca-Cola and helping businesses deliver top-notch service and stay stocked with the best products. Along the way, I learned a lot, not just about what's in the bottle, but about what it takes to keep people happy, keep things running smoothly, and build real connections.

When Cruz came to me with the idea of launching an expanded event experience that included a mobile bar, I was all in. Because let's be honest... there's nothing better than sharing a cold drink in good company. And now, I get to help people do exactly that. Whether I'm scouting local breweries, curating drink menus, or helping guests find their new favorite sip, I'm here to bring that extra layer of service, expertise, and fun to every element of your event.

Tapped & Tailored isn't just about showing up with taps and drinks; it's about creating something truly memorable and effortlessly welcoming. Something that feels elevated because every detail is considered. And if I can help support other small businesses along the way? Even better.

So yeah, I take my beer seriously, but I take community, connection, and celebration even more to heart.

Let's raise a glass to doing things differently, and creating your perfect event experience.
