ABOUT MIX IT UP
We Create Experiences, Not Just Drinks.
Mix It Up is an interactive events and mixology company creating hands-on food and beverage experiences for corporate events, conferences, private parties, weddings, and celebrations across Atlantic Canada.
From cocktail classes and mobile bartending to interactive food and beverage activations, we bring the experience directly to you.
Our goal is simple: create events that are professional, engaging, and genuinely fun to be part of.
THE MIX IT UP STORY
Mix It Up started with a simple idea: cocktails should be more than something you order at a bar.
They can be an activity. A conversation starter. A team-building experience. A way to bring people together.
What began with cocktail classes has grown into a broader interactive events company working with corporations, private groups, hotels, event venues, and organizations across Atlantic Canada.
Today, Mix It Up creates customized experiences built around the people, space, and purpose of each event.
Whether we're teaching a group how to make cocktails, running a conference activation, providing professional bar service, or creating a completely custom food and beverage experience, we bring the same approach to every event: professional service, hands-on participation, and a lot of personality.
