What makes an event memorable these days?
The simple answer is: Something unexpected. The nuanced answer is: Something unexpected that leaves guests feeling appreciated and looked after.
Certainly, there are a variety of things and acts that fit that bill. We’re here to tell you more about one of them: the matcha bar.
What is a matcha bar?
A matcha bar is a beverage station manned by professional baristas who serve a menu of hot and iced matcha drinks that span the full spectrum, from light and refreshing to sweet and creamy. Guests can customize their drinks with different milks and flavor syrups, plus cold foam for iced drinks.
The perfect pairing — How a matcha bar complements different events
Weddings
Guests who don’t drink alcohol love having an option that feels genuinely thoughtful. And many more appreciate the low-key pick-me-up that matcha provides. It’s enough to carry them through another couple of hours on the dance floor, but it won’t keep them up at the end of the night. Aesthetically, matcha drinks photograph beautifully. And, online darlings that they are, people want to be seen with them, so pics from your wedding will end up all over Instagram without you having to ask.

Corporate events
There’s no mid-afternoon crash thanks to the steady, focused energy that matcha provides. And the presence of the matcha bar serves as a natural gathering spot. As guests sip their drinks, they linger, and conversations, both personal and work-related, come easily. They’ll also interpret the ceremonial-grade matcha as a sign that quality matters to the company.
Private parties
There doesn’t need to be hundreds of guests in attendance for a matcha bar to make an impression. The unique experience easily scales down without losing any of its charm, whether it be for an intimate baby shower, a brunch among close friends, or a neighborhood holiday party.
