Crafting the Bar Experience
For this event, The Bond Bar was proud to serve as the official bar partner, with our cocktail service sponsored by Southbound Tequila — a women-owned brand out of Nashville founded by Ivey Childers, a spirited entrepreneur and esteemed recipe developer whose artistry first took shape in the kitchen.
Guests enjoyed three signature cocktails: a Skinny Spicy Margarita crafted with Southbound Reposado, a Hibiscus Margarita infused with Southbound Blanco and floral notes, and The Bond Bar’s Dirty Martini, our signature classic with a refined edge.
Each cocktail was created with intention — balancing simplicity and sophistication, purpose and pleasure — a reflection of the evening itself.
Women Supporting Women
What made this evening particularly special was the team behind it. Nearly every vendor — from DJ Jen Jones to White House Design Studio — was female-owned.
It was more than an event; it was a celebration of collaboration, creativity, and community, all in support of a deeply important cause.
At its heart, the evening was a testament to women leading with purpose. alice + olivia was founded and is led by Stacey Bendet, whose brand has long championed creativity, confidence, and individuality. The Vincere Foundation, co-founded by Dr. Vershalee Shukla, continues that same spirit of strength and compassion through its life-changing work in early cancer detection and care for first responders.
There’s something extraordinary that happens when women come together to build experiences — a shared understanding of aesthetic, emotion, and purpose. To serve among such talented, visionary women was an absolute honor.
Why Corporate + Brand Partnerships Matter
At The Bond Bar, we love working with brands that value detail, design, and story. Whether it’s a brand event, product launch, or private gathering, our approach remains the same — to create a seamless extension of your brand through the art of hospitality.
Our mobile bar experience is built to complement your vision. In a corporate setting, that might mean blending quietly into the background with refined, on-brand details, or taking the lead to design custom menus and visual storytelling that make your event truly unforgettable.
Gratitude + Vision
We’re deeply grateful to the team at alice + olivia for inviting us into such a purposeful evening, and to Southbound Tequila and Ivey Childers for sponsoring our bar and helping us bring each cocktail to life.
It was an event that reminded us why we do what we do — because behind every beautiful bar is an opportunity to bring people together for something bigger than ourselves.
To every brand, planner, and visionary looking to bring purpose to their next gathering — we’d be honored to raise a glass with you. Because when purpose meets partnership, every cocktail tells a story.
