Masters of Event mixology

Pouring, mixing and shaking up cocktails at events — since 2018.

Two Paloma cocktails, made with Tequila Blanco, grapefruit, freshly squeezed lime, agave nectar - shaken and served in highballs over ice, with Tajin rims. Placed on a black tray on a wooden table, catching the sunlight.

"Maxfield and Dyer Mixology served the most delicious cocktails for my 60th birthday celebration. They were incredibly punctual, efficient and charming. Nothing was too much trouble, no detail was overlooked. They kindly stayed longer than agreed and left the venue immaculate. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We will definitely be using them again."
Andrew Russell — October 2024
"Theo and James provided the bar service for our wedding and were absolutely incredible! We worked closely with Theo creating the cocktails, and he was so helpful. The drinks were a massive hit and made the evening even more special! Everyone loved the cocktails and the bar staff. Thoroughly recommend them!"
Charlie & Ellie — August 2024
“I was recommended to use Maxfield and Dyer to provide and run the cocktail bar at our daughter's wedding for 180 guests. They are a very professional team, taking the time to run through choice of cocktails and the quantities to make sure everything would run smoothly on the night . The team were excellent, the bar was well run and we did not run out. Nothing was a problem, they stayed to help wind down the evening at the end of the event circa 2 am. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
Noel Flint — December 2024
“I've worked with James and Theo over the past years. As an Event Planner, I look for suppliers who deliver exceptional quality and service for my clients. Maxfield & Dyer deliver this in spades. They are firmly my go-to bar team and mixologists. Their experience, care and attention to detail are second to none, and I highly recommend them.”
Jenna Hewitt — Events Organiser
“Jack and I wanted to say a humongous thank you for the absolute knock-out drinks and service over this weekend. You guys were incredible from start to finish and we felt in the safest of hands. Not only did everyone absolutely devour and love your cocktails, they also loved chatting to you guys and you completely made the weekend what it was. It seriously wouldn't have been the same without you and we are so grateful. We will be recommending you far and wide and no doubt will see you before too long at friend's and families events.
Thank you again for your incredible professionalism, attention to detail, fun, hard work and of course the amazing drinks that we could live off forever.
We are on cloud 9 and just had the time of our lives!”
Olivia & Jack — May 2025
“Cannot recommend Maxfield & Dyer more highly. From the very first contact they were professional, charming and attentive. They did everything they promised … and more. We hired them for our son's engagement party where they made the most delicious cocktails and took full charge of all the drinks, serving from an amazing bar they provided and installed in the garden. They were a huge part of the success of the party and we - and most of the guests - will be using them again. Thank you.”
Leslie Zunz — July 2025
I could not recommend Theo and James (aka Maxfield and Dyer) more highly. Not only are they charming, unbelievably good at their jobs and two of the nicest men I've met, but they also went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had the best possible day. Not a single glass was ever empty and each of my friends I've debriefed with since the wedding have brought up how amazing the 'cocktail guys' were. They were so much more than just cocktail guys. James helped my Granny inside during a particularly stormy moment and Theo brought me a tray of my quite niche pickle-infused favourite cocktail without me even asking for it.

If you want your event to be taken to the next level by two people who genuinely care about giving you the best possible day, look no further.
Ed & Esme - August 2025

ABOUT US

A Queen's Park Swizzle cocktail made with aged cuban rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, sugar syrup, mint leaves and lots of crushed ice, topped with a layer of bitters and a bouquet of mint as garnish. Served in a sling style glass, with a reed straw

World class cocktails. Anywhere. Anytime.

From timeless classics to bespoke creations, every drink we serve is built with care and quality in mind. We believe great cocktails begin with great ingredients — fresh citrus, house-made cordials, seasonal produce, and carefully sourced spirits from trusted distilleries, both local and international.

We never cut corners. If we can make it in-house, we do. Our classics honour the original recipes, elevated with precision and the best ingredients we can find. For bespoke menus, we tailor every element to suit your event — tweaking specs, balancing flavours, and ensuring your drinks reflect your tastes.

We’re constantly evolving, finding new ways to improve our drinks and service without ever compromising on quality. The bar is the heart of the party — a place to gather, celebrate, and remember. Our job is to make sure the drinks live up to the moment.
