A note from the founder:
Ember & Glass was born from a love of atmosphere—the kind you don’t just see, but feel.
I’ve always been drawn to the details that shape an experience: lighting that softens a room, the energy between people, the quiet way a moment comes together and lingers long after it’s passed.
Over time, that appreciation evolved into a desire to create spaces where people can gather, celebrate, and be fully present.
Inspired by vintage elegance, late-night conversations, and the quiet luxury of a perfectly crafted drink, Ember & Glass blends old-world romance with modern celebration.
What started as a passion for hospitality has grown into a refined mobile bar experience, designed for weddings and private gatherings that deserve something more intentional, more elevated, and more memorable.
Every detail is considered.
Every interaction is purposeful.
Because the best moments aren’t rushed—
they’re felt.
Ember & Glass is rooted in the belief that every event deserves to feel considered and beautifully executed.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all service, each experience is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the client, the setting, and the overall atmosphere. The goal is never just to serve drinks, but to contribute to the feeling of the event as a whole.
At Ember & Glass, we believe the bar is more than just a service; it’s part of the experience.
Every event is approached with care and attention to detail, from the first impression to the final pour. We focus on creating a seamless presence that complements your event while enhancing the overall atmosphere.
No two events are the same, which is why every detail is thoughtfully considered and tailored to reflect your vision.
Founded in Waterloo Region, Ember & Glass is a reflection of a passion for hospitality, aesthetics, and creating meaningful experiences. Proudly serving South Western Ontario.
There’s always a balance—
something darker, something lighter.
A richness, a softness.
A spark, and something that lingers after.
That tension is where the atmosphere lives.
It’s the small touches that leave the biggest impression.
From curated cocktail menus to refined presentation, each element is designed to feel cohesive, elevated, and effortless. Our goal is to create an experience that feels natural, polished, and truly unforgettable for both you and your guests.
