Weddings & receptions
Mini Moo Beverage Butlers
A mini Highland cow, on halter, carrying drinks through your cocktail hour.
From $1,250
Our beverage butlers arrive on halter with double-sided pack baskets and get led around your venue by experienced handlers to greet your guests. The baskets carry whatever you'd like: beer and seltzers, waters, party favors, programs, koozies.
Your guests' faces will light up when they see our mini moos, and it will be the thing they talk about for years to come. There will be plenty of selfies taken to remember the moment!
Packages start at $1,250. Email us and we will put together a proposal for your day. Standard service is one hour, and we book up to a year in advance. We serve all of North Texas. Travel fees may apply depending on where you are. Your venue needs outdoor space with plenty of room for the cows to move among your guests.
How it works
From your email to the day itself
- 1
Tell us the venue and the time
Send the date, where you are getting married, and the time window you want them to serve. Cocktail hour is what most couples ask for.
- 2
We confirm the date and send a proposal
If the calendar is open we put it in writing: how long they stay, how many cows, travel, and the price for your event.
- 3
Our mini cow(s) arrive in style
Bathed, brushed and ready to make your guests smile. You provide whatever you want us to place in their baskets (no glass, please).
- 4
They work the cocktail hour
Guests take drinks out of the baskets and take more pictures than they did of the ceremony. We load out quietly when the window is up.
What's included
- Halter-trained mini Highland cow(s)
- Experienced handlers who stay with them from unload to load-out
- Dressed for the occasion with their double-sided pack baskets
- Setup and cleanup of the spot they work from
What we need from your venue
- A flat place to park a truck and trailer, with room to unload
- A shaded spot out of sight from your guests to get ready
- Written approval from your venue, because not every venue allows livestock
- An outdoor area with ample space for our mini moos to safely mingle with your guests
Questions
What people ask us first
- How long are they out?
- Standard service is one hour, usually cocktail hour. Longer is possible. Send us the timeline and we will tell you what we think is fair to the animals and to your guests.
- Are they safe around guests and kids?
- They are hand-raised, halter-trained and used to crowds, and a handler is on the lead the entire time. Kids can pet them.
- How far will you travel?
- We serve all of North Texas, coming out from Bells, an hour north of Dallas. Travel fees may apply depending on where your venue is.
- How far ahead should we book?
- We book up to a year in advance, and popular wedding dates go early.
- What does it cost?
- Packages start at $1,250 for our standard one-hour service with one mini cow. Every proposal is custom, because a cocktail hour twenty minutes away is not the same booking as a long reception two hours away.
