Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. For couples looking for a Calgary wedding mobile bar, Bubbles and Brews Canada presents a vintage Italian Piaggio Ape fitted as a two-tap mobile bar. Its official website explicitly invites wedding enquiries and lists current packages, a phone number and an inquiry route, supporting an Active profile status. Active means there is a current business-controlled contact path; it does not confirm availability for any particular date.

The business describes a dry-hire model: the client supplies the alcohol while Bubbles and Brews Canada supplies the mobile bar, bartenders and listed bar-service equipment. It identifies Calgary as its home base and also names Banff, Canmore and other Southern Alberta locations as service areas. No street address is published on the confirmed official pages reviewed, so none is shown here.

Services and specialization

Bubbles and Brews Canada’s documented specialty is a restored Piaggio Ape mobile bar for weddings, parties and events. The official site says the unit pours two drinks at a time and can be configured with prosecco, craft beer or custom kegged cocktails. One tap is stated to remain available for a non-alcoholic drink. This is a mobile beverage-service format rather than a conventional permanent venue bar.

Published package inclusions include the Piaggio Ape, a bartender on site, two taps with cooling lines, limited drinkware, ice, garnish, condiments, CO2 for typical guest counts, setup and teardown. The business also lists case-by-case add-ons such as a mimosa bar, glitter cotton candy, florals and styling, custom signage and extra consumables. Ask for a written list of the inclusions and any add-ons quoted for your date.

How the dry-hire model works

The company says clients provide the alcohol and that it brings the truck, bartenders, taps, drinkware and ice. It also states that alcohol must be on site at drop-off and that it will help clients work out what to buy based on guest count and drink choices. The business does not describe this as a cash-bar service and says it does not mark up liquor.

This arrangement may suit couples who want to choose and purchase their own beverages while booking a mobile bar and service setup separately. It also means the alcohol budget is outside the published package starting prices. Confirm the exact buying, delivery, storage, licensing and responsible-service arrangements with both the vendor and venue before contracting.

Service area and who it may suit

Calgary is the stated home base, with no travel fee within Calgary city limits. Bubbles and Brews Canada also says it regularly serves Banff, Canmore and Southern Alberta; its site additionally names Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane and High River as places it may discuss when the drive is reasonable. Travel fees apply outside Calgary, according to the published package information.

This service may fit couples planning a Calgary reception, a Banff or Canmore mountain wedding, or another Southern Alberta event where a mobile bar can be placed near the celebration. The business’s website shows wedding use, but suitability still depends on the venue’s vehicle access, event layout, guest count, power access and bar policy.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include a self-contained visual bar unit, bartender service, two chilled taps, a designated non-alcoholic tap and setup/teardown in the published packages. For Calgary bookings, the stated included drop-off and pickup arrangement can simplify the logistics of bringing the unit to the venue. The package page also distinguishes pouring hours from setup time, so booked service time is not presented as time spent installing the bar.

There are practical limits to check. The unit serves two drinks at once, and standard drinkware, ice and CO2 quantities are described as being for typical guest counts; larger events may require an add-on. The company requires a standard 110V, 15-amp outlet at the cart location, with power access and related cost assigned to the client. Its official pages reviewed do not set out venue-clearance dimensions, weather contingencies, alcohol-permit responsibilities or insurance details, so these should be confirmed in writing.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published in Canadian dollars. The Weeknight package starts at CAD $1,100 for four pouring hours. The Full Event package, which the company identifies as its most-booked wedding option, starts at CAD $1,950 for eight pouring hours. Both published packages list the Ape, bartender, two taps, one non-alcoholic tap, limited drinkware, ice, garnish, condiments, CO2 for typical guest counts, setup and teardown.

The business states that travel outside Calgary city limits costs extra. It also says larger guest counts may need additional drinkware, ice, garnish or CO2, and that add-ons are quoted case by case. A CAD $500 non-refundable deposit is stated to secure a date after a contract is signed, with the remaining balance due 30 days before the event. Alcohol is client-supplied, so ask whether taxes, travel, extra consumables and any rental-partner glassware are included in your written quote.

Contact and booking

Bubbles and Brews Canada publishes a quote inquiry form on its official website, along with phone number 403.383.0900 and email cindy@bubblesandbrews.ca. The site describes Calgary, Alberta as its location but does not publish a complete postal address. Use the official website or the listed contact details to discuss a specific date rather than relying on older directory contact information.

For a booking discussion, provide the date, venue, guest count, city, desired pouring hours and the drinks you expect to serve. The business’s published process refers to a signed contract and deposit, so review the final scope and payment terms before sending money.

What couples should confirm

Confirm that the venue permits the Piaggio Ape, has a practical loading and placement route, and can provide the required standard outlet at the bar location. Ask what happens if weather prevents an outdoor setup, whether the bar can be moved indoors, and what space is needed for service and guest flow. Confirm the number of bartenders, expected service capacity and whether your guest count requires extra consumables.

Because alcohol is supplied by the client, ask who is responsible for any required liquor licence or permits, purchasing and transporting alcohol, on-site storage and leftover beverages. Request a final itemized quotation that separates the base package, travel, add-ons, taxes and any third-party glassware rental. Also confirm cancellation, rescheduling and damage terms in the signed contract.
