✨ We Did It — Our First Sponsored Event!

Our debut tween birthday mocktail bar was everything we dreamed of and more — smiles, laughter, and handcrafted mocktails made with love. Every child had a blast choosing their own fresh fruits and syrups for their mocktails... the huge smiles and thumbs up were the approval we strive for. Not to mention how pleased the parents were with knowing that we use only fresh fruits and the Korean Cheung syrups were all made in-house with fresh fruits as well. No chemicals, no additives, no junk! The mocktail bar was definitely the highlight of the party. 🍉🍋🍓🍍🍎🍒🫐🍹
Endless gratitude to Andrew & Cheryl for believing in HostMode Events from the start. 💫

The kids loved choosing their own ingredients & syrups= 👍👍

🗨️ Word Around Town Is...

Andrew P.Seamless booking process. We gave Shalanda the date and location and estimated number of attendees, and HostMode took care of the rest.
The drinks are fresh, creative, and tasty. Made with fresh fruit, the drinks are a fun and exciting alternative to sodas or Gatorade. And kids love the personal touch of having a HostMode representative freshly mix and serve the drinks.
HostMode exceeded expectations. I was worried the lines would take too long, but HostMode was able to make the drinks fresh and very fast so the kids got their drinks without waiting. Watching the drinks get made was part of the fun too.
Excellent experience.
Definitely would recommend. Great way to elevate your kid's party without breaking the bank, and you get to move away from fake sugars, preservatives, and artificial colors.
-Happy Dad
