Redefining Event Hospitality
At The Watering Haul, we believe the bar is far more than a destination for a drink—it is the magnetic centerpiece of your celebration.
It is where anticipation builds, connections are made, and memories are toasted. We transcend traditional beverage catering by curating an immersive, high-touch hospitality experience. Our approach seamlessly pairs stunning bar aesthetics with unparalleled service, ensuring that from the first pour to the final toast, the atmosphere reflects your distinct style and vision.
The Art of the Pour, Delivered to You.
Our Why
-
Our Philosophy
Historically, the 'watering hole' has always represented community, celebration, and gathering. The Watering Haul was founded on the desire to take that timeless concept and elevate it to meet the demands of luxury events. We designed our service to seamlessly transport a world-class cocktail experience directly to your venue—blending the warmth of a bespoke lounge with the precision and elegance of fine dining.
-
The Collection & Our Craft
We don’t just serve drinks; we design environments. Our curated collection features impeccably restored vintage bar installations and architecturally striking satellite bars, all crafted to complement high-end event aesthetics. Paired with our team of elite mixologists and hospitality specialists, we transform your chosen space into a sophisticated lounge tailored exclusively to your guests.

Our Promise
As a family-owned enterprise, a dedication to uncompromising hospitality is at the core of everything we do. We view every event as a unique canvas, and our goal is to execute your vision flawlessly. With artisanal libations, a refined ambiance, and a team devoted to perfection, you are free to be a guest at your own event. You provide the occasion; we orchestrate the perfect pour.
The Watering Haul was born in 2018 from a simple yet profound realization. While planning their own wedding, founders Casey and Michael Belitz noticed a gap in the event industry: the bar—often the social epicenter of any gathering—was frequently treated as an afterthought in both design and service. They envisioned something entirely different. They wanted a beverage experience that was as aesthetically stunning as it was seamlessly executed.
What began as a personal passion project to elevate their own celebration quickly evolved into one of Southern California's premier hospitality companies. Over the years, Casey and Michael have meticulously expanded their fleet and their team, curating exceptional, high-touch bar experiences for hundreds of exclusive weddings, private celebrations, and corporate galas.
Today, their mission remains deeply personal. As a family-owned brand, Casey and Michael balance running a thriving luxury business with raising their three beautiful daughters. This foundation translates directly into their standard of service; they treat every client's event with the highest level of care, dedication, and attention to detail.
For Casey and Michael, The Watering Haul is more than just a service—it is a commitment to artistry, genuine connection, and setting an uncompromising standard in event hospitality.

Due to California licensing regulations, we cannot sell you alcohol. In 2024 we created a partnership with Total Wine & More to get you the best pricing as well as offer a delivery service. Our team will serve alcohol that is supplied by the event organizer or a third party.
So how much alcohol will you need, you ask? We’ve got you covered! We can help you calculate the amount of alcohol based on hours of service and how many guests you expect. And the best part? By sourcing your own alcohol you actually save a lot of money!

Our bartenders are TIPS certified and trained. They are also extremely personable so your guests will receive impeccable customer service.
-
Every event is different so rather than just providing a general package, we will tailor a custom proposal just for you and your event! Cost is generally calculated based on the bar type, number of service hours, drink service, and how many guests you’re expecting.
