Feature Friday

Jan 31, 2019

On today’s Feature Friday post we’re giving you the run down on The Perking House Coffee & Tea Bus!!! Anyone who is planning a wedding or event and LOVES coffee needs to book them!!! When we photographed Madelene & Logan’s wedding at The Old Mill Farm this past July we had the opportunity to learn more about this awesome and unique service that your guests will absolutely LOVE and remember!!

Tell us a little bit about your business

We’ve been in business since 2014. I started really slow with just learning how to roast coffee. I believed learning the product was one of the most crucial steps in the business that most shop owners miss out on.

How did you get started?

I always said that I wanted a coffeehouse, but never started the process to building a brand or a business. Truth is, I was oblivious to the whole business side of things. All I knew is that I was called to serve people in a capacity where I could meet them on their level.
The business started slow and that’s really my opinion on business, start slow and learn as you go.
The Perking House as it is seen today is a result of patience and pure desire/willingness to sacrifice things to eventually get what I want.
The bus is just a start.

What do you love most about what you do?

The favorite thing about the business is that I get to be involved in a day that is supposed to happen once in someone’s life. Getting married is suppose to be special. My goal is to make it as unique and fun as possible.

What should people know before booking you?

People have told me that I am extremely laid back. I show up early and I leave late. Most people that have worked with me know that I love coffee, this is why I choose to serve my favorite item to others. Give a little piece of heaven to other people.
