All about us
ELM Vintage Bar Hire was started in 2018 by Husband and Wife team Carl and Vanessa who have been together for 15years.
Vanessa’s background is very much in the hospitality industry from working reception and events in hotels to working behind the bar at a few pubs around Norwich as well as now being Cabin Crew serving passengers in the sky with Tui.
Carl grew up with his mum working and then running The Marlpit pub but also owned his own company Softplay2u which he ran 5years so understands the importance of customer service and the ins and outs of running your own business.
The ELM part of our name not only represents our wooden bar but is also the initials of our 3 children, Ellie-Mae & Lillie-Grace our twin daughters and our little boy Mawgan (named after a little village in Cornwall where Vanessa was born)
2023 has started off a great year with ELM receiving their first wedding award from Hitched as best Mobile Bar Service in Norfolk based on customer reviews. https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-awards/norfolk
