The Little Bar Cart – Our Story

About Us

SCROLL

Humble Beginnings of The Little Bar Cart

The Little Bar Cart story began with its founder, entrepreneur Pippa Candido – a lover of Champagne, celebrations and exceptional customer service. During her many attendances at weddings and celebrations, she recognised an absence of formal hospitality – at the very least, why wasn’t everyone toasting life’s celebrations with Champagne! She believed these special moments deserved to be marked with quality drinks and exceptional service. As such, The Little Bar Cart was born. Designed and manufactured right here in WA, a one-of-a-kind mobile drinks cart modelled on a vintage car, that infuses celebrations and events with quality drinks and exceptional customer service, adding oomph and style wherever it went. First imagined by Pippa, her vision was exceptionally brought to life by Trevor Candido, a 25+ year Legend of the Perth Hospitality Industry who contributed his vast experience and operational excellence to the brand’s development and growth in the Perth market, as well as interstate and internationally.

The Story Goes On!

What begun as a single, custom-built cart and a belief in elevating life’s celebrations, has grown into something far bigger than Pippa & Trevor could have ever imagined. Over the years, The Little Bar Cart has evolved from a passion project into Perth’s longest running and largest mobile bar service, trusted by couples, corporate clients, and event planners across the State.

As demand grew, so did the fleet. One cart become eight fully-fledged, mobile bar solutions – each designed with the same commitment to style, quality, and authentic hospitality. The initial focus on weddings broadened into all other milestone celebrations, from birthdays to engagements, bridal showers to anniversaries, and everything in between. Corporate and community events soon followed, working closely with brands to launch products, elevate activations, and engage clients all the way through to grand scale events including the annual Italian Festival and Road National Cycling Championships. Today, the Little Bar Cart services hundreds of events every year, bringing exceptional drinks and warm, genuine service to celebrations of every scale and occasion.

What hasn’t changed is the heart and passion behind it all. The business still runs on the same philosophy it started with back in 2016 – that every gathering deserves to feel special, and every guest feel personally looked after. With a dedicated team, expanded offerings, and a reputation built on reliability and unforgettable experiences, The Little Bar Cart continues to raise the bar as the premier mobile bar service in Perth.

Alongside everyone else here, I’m going to RAVE about how incredible our experience with Trish and The Little Bar Cart was at our wedding.

All 3 staff were awesome, however Trish went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I always had a drink in hand AND a glass of water to stay hydrated. We felt so taken care of which was such a delightful surprise. She was so warm, friendly and all our guests raved about the cocktails and service staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thank you Trish and team for an absolutely wonderful experience.

We had the little bar cart for our wedding and it was the best set up we could have asked for. Communication leading up to the event was great. We had 2 cocktails and our guests have not stopped raving about them. Trish went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night - I would use TLBC again and recommend them to everyone looking for a bar for their next event.

We used the little bar cart for our wedding recently. The bar cart itself is very cute and the service given was amazing!! Trish was so warm and lovely and was always offering waters in between drinks, it really felt like she was genuinely looking after me. It elevated the wedding by having staff pour drinks rather than having to self serve and I’d definitely recommend. Thank you again for being apart of our day. Love Jackie and Steve

From start to finish, The Little Bar Cart was absolute perfection!
From the stunning champagne tower to the custom His & Her cocktails, every detail was thoughtfully executed and enjoyed by all of our guests. Trish’s infectious personality brought such a fun, uplifting energy, she had everyone smiling and made sure every guest was having a great time. Even our quick pep talk before walking down the aisle helped calm my nerves more than I expected. She truly goes above and beyond. We’re so grateful to have had her as part of our day!

The Little Bar Cart is just so cute and a perfect addition to your wedding. Trish is just amazing. She goes above and beyond in her service for couples. I recently photographed a wedding with her at Secrets on the Lake, and the guests were raving about the incredible bar service. Trish is always eager to please, and having her on your wedding day will make the experience for you and your guests next level. It also looks awesome in photos. Highly recommend!
