About Drinkz by Design
A good event
starts with
good hospitality.
We bring the people, service and thoughtful details that help a gathering feel effortless—from an intimate celebration to a festival full of energy.
Based in Durham. Serving the Carolinas.
Bar expertise at our heart.
A whole experience in mind.
Drinkz by Design brings together signature beverage service and the elements around it: welcoming staff, food and Drinkz experiences, lighting, rentals and activities that get guests involved.
We work with couples, festival organizers, community teams and businesses. Some need a polished bar team. Others want several services brought together for a celebration, reception or recurring event series. We shape the scope around what your occasion needs.
Our role is to make those details work together, so you can spend more time with your guests.
