Radiating warmth, inclusivity, and positivity

At Wayfarer & Co. we’re redefining the bar and beverage experience. With our hospitality-first approach, we lift both spirits and standards.

Good Drinks Good Vibes

 
 

Wayfarer and Co. was founded on one premise:

To elevate the bar and beverage experience

Best-in-class, we source quality ingredients, supporting local vendors who provide an impressive selection of craft mixers, tonics, and shrubs. We stock our bar to reflect the seasons, always including a breadth of regional selections. Our work ethic, professionalism, and presentation reflect the ambience put forth by our fellow vendor teams.

In redefining the bar and beverage experience, we’ve curated a cocktail experience bespoke to our clients’ needs, celebrating all the Northern California coast has to offer.

Meet Jen Sutton

Owner and event producer

 

Jen began her career in the events industry at a young age by working at nearby wedding venues off the Northern California Coast. Eager to learn the ins and outs of the events industry, she explored several opportunities, fulfilling the roles of a catering assistant, front-of-house manager, event coordinator, and even florist.

After college, she continued her journey within the hospitality industry and in true Silicon Valley fashion, worked her way through Apple and several start-ups, growing her experience in leadership, team management, and event production while simultaneously planning private intimate gatherings for several prominent Bay Area families.

In 2016, Jennifer began her entrepreneurial journey by starting her own event planning company, One Fine Day Events. Shortly after, she built her first mobile bar, and at last

Wayfarer & Co. was born

Surrounded by her team of industry-trained bartenders, mixologists, event planners, and hosts, she curates cocktail experiences bespoke to her clients’ needs.

Known for redefining the bar and beverage experience, she now has her eyes set on event production. With the founding of Darling Hospitality, she partners with world-class event planners to produce elevated outdoor events, celebrating all Northern California has to offer.

When she’s not celebrating the art of gathering, you can find her by the Capitola beach with her loving husband Mark and darling daughter Emma.

 
  • “Everyone loved the camper, the cocktails were amazing, and Jen and her team went so far beyond just being bar staff.”

    “Hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Everyone loved the camper, the cocktails were amazing, and Jen and her team went so far beyond just being bar staff, helping make sure every little detail was perfect, offering us guidance on our rentals, signage, and alcohol quantities...even jumping in to help set up, serve, bus, tear down and clean up. I can’t say enough great things, we’re so thankful for her help and the camper just added such a great look to the event space.”

    - Jenny, Bride

  • “The perfect addition to your wedding celebration!”

    “The perfect addition to your wedding celebration! As wedding planners, we’ve worked with Jen and Wayfarer & Co. several times, and each has been an absolute joy! Jen is responsive, helpful, affordable, reliable, on time and an overall joy to work with, all things we look for in our TLC Vendor Team. If you are looking for something to spruce up your event, we highly recommend you reach out to Jennifer and consider adding Goldie to your celebration.”

  • “They delivered outstanding service and menu curation that exceeded our expectations.”

    “We hired Wayfarer & Co. for our backyard wedding last year and couldn't have been happier to work with Jen and her team. The cocktail menu was really important to my partner and I and they delivered outstanding service and a menu curation that exceeded our expectations. The camper helped fill in our backyard space and made it feel special. Our friends and family couldn’t stop talking about it and I think my father-in-law was inspired to build one himself. We highly recommend Wayfarer & Co. and their team of bartenders - couldn't have asked for better!”
