Our Story

Founded by best friends Selena and Mary Ellen, Moonlit Merlot Mobile Bartending is all about bringing exceptional cocktail experiences directly to your event — whether that’s a backyard party, a dreamy Orlando wedding, or a corporate celebration anywhere in Central Florida.

Before swapping scrubs for shakers, Selena and Mary Ellen worked as veterinary technicians. Their time in fast-paced vet medicine taught them precision, empathy, and teamwork — qualities they pour into every drink they craft and every event they serve.

With a shared passion for mixology and a mission to spread joy through delicious, handcrafted cocktails, these two turned their love of bartending into a thriving mobile bartending business designed to make your celebration unforgettable.

From classic cocktails to unique, customized creations, Selena and Mary Ellen are dedicated to shaking things up with a perfect balance of fun, flavor, and professionalism.
