Meet Dorothy:

The Heart behind the Cart!

Based in Hamilton, Dorothy has been bringing her passion for cocktails and love of celebrations together since 2019, operating her mobile cocktail cart throughout the North Island. With her bright smile and naturally relaxed personality, Dorothy has a wonderful way of making everyone feel like they've been friends forever. Her cheerful nature and genuine warmth create an instant sense of comfort that sets the perfect tone for any celebration.

What makes The Cocktail Cart special is that it's truly a family affair. Dorothy's partner Jay and son Charlie often help at events, bringing authentic family warmth to every gathering. This personal touch means each celebration feels less like a service and more like welcoming friends into your special day.

When Dorothy arrives with her cocktail cart, she brings more than just handcrafted drinks. Her easygoing charm and love for bringing people together ensures guests leave with genuine smiles – ones that start the moment they meet her and only grow with that first perfect sip.

The Perfect Combination

Dorothy leveled up in 2021 by becoming a licensed marriage and civil union celebrant in New Zealand. This unique combo means lovebirds can book both their vows and cocktails in one sweet package!

Dorothy's bubbly, welcoming nature instantly puts everyone at ease. Her knack for connecting with folks makes her the perfect officiant, and when serving signature cocktails afterwards, guests feel like they're celebrating with a friend!
