Our Story

Moonlit Merlot was created by best friends Selena and Mary Ellen to bring a different kind of bar experience to Central Florida events.

Think elevated, seamless, and actually fun.

With backgrounds in fast paced veterinary medicine, they know how to stay calm under pressure and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. That translates into a bar that flows, drinks that impress, and an experience your guests don’t forget.

From timeless cocktails to custom creations, every detail is intentional and designed to match your event.

Not just bartenders. The kind of team you trust to handle it all.
