Get Your ProposalFrom cocktail hour to the last dance.
Most wedding coffee shows up in a carafe and disappears before the toasts. La Vita shows up in handcrafted exotic hardwood, stays through the dancing, and becomes the thing guests photograph between courses.
Cocktail Hour
Guests arrive. The bar line is long. The espresso cart is right there — a handcrafted rosewood station pulling shots while everyone finds their seats. Lattes, cappuccinos, and a reason to put the phone down and talk to the person next to them.
Dinner and Dessert
Skip the grocery-store sheet cake table. Italian gelato. Fresh smoothies. Affogato — a shot of espresso poured over gelato at the cart. Dessert becomes a scene, not a station people walk past.
Late Night
The dance floor is going. The bar is winding down. The espresso cart is still pulling shots. Guests grab a latte, kick off their shoes, and stay another hour. The cart is the last thing they see before the send-off.
Equipment that belongs in your wedding photos.
Everything arrives with us. Professional baristas, commercial equipment, all supplies, setup, service, and cleanup. You enjoy your wedding.
La Marzocco GS/3
A $9,000 commercial machine with custom Bocote wood side panels and Mahlkönig E80 grinders. This is not the espresso machine your cousin brought to Thanksgiving. This is the one your photographer asks to shoot.
Four Handcrafted Originals
Patagonian rosewood. Japanese Shou Sugi Ban. Lake Superior white oak. Whitewashed barnboard. Each one built by hand. Pick the cart that fits your venue, your color palette, your aesthetic.
Ripples Latte Art
Your monogram. A photo of the two of you. A custom hashtag. Printed directly on the foam in technicolor. Available when requested, at no extra charge.
Gelato, Smoothies and Cold Brew
Italian gelato and sorbet across 27 flavors. Made-to-order smoothies. Nitro cold brew on draft for summer receptions. The full dessert experience, not just coffee.
“The cart was the first thing guests noticed during cocktail hour and the last thing they talked about on the way to the car. Three months later and people are still bringing it up.”Sarah — Wedding Reception, Minneapolis MN
