Wedding Coffee Catering in Portland, ME
Your guests remember the details. The music. The flowers. And yes — the coffee.

A Coffee Bar Your Wedding Actually Deserves
Forget the lukewarm carafe at the back of the reception hall. We roll up with a beautiful espresso cart, set up seamlessly alongside your other vendors, and start pulling shots that taste like they came from your favorite specialty café — because they did.
Whether you're hosting an intimate backyard ceremony in Cape Elizabeth or a grand celebration at a Portland waterfront venue, Side By Side Coffee fits the vibe.
What's Included in Our Wedding Coffee Service
Every wedding package is custom-built around your day, but here's what you can expect:
Full mobile espresso bar setup — we bring everything, including the equipment, the coffee, and the charm.
Handcrafted espresso drinks — lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, flat whites, and more, made to order for each guest.
Cold brew & specialty beverages — perfect for outdoor summer weddings or guests who prefer something over ice.
Signature drinks — we'll work with you to create a custom drink (or two) that reflects your personalities as a couple. Something uniquely, deliciously yours.
Non-alcoholic option your guests will love — a beautiful coffee bar is one of the most thoughtful additions you can offer guests who don't drink.
Branded or custom cups — available as an add-on to make every sip part of your wedding aesthetic.
