Our Story

Meet Payge, The driving force behind Raising The Bar!

Welcome to Raising The Bar — Central Maine’s boutique mobile bartending service dedicated to bringing creativity, professionalism, and unforgettable flavors to your event. Led by Payge, a certified bartender with almost 2 decades of service experience, we craft customized beverage experiences that enhance every celebration.

From weddings and parties to corporate events and mixology nights, we design bespoke cocktail menus tailored to your theme, taste, and budget. Every drink is crafted with intention, ensuring your bar becomes a highlight of the night.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to personal service. We book only one event per day, meaning the bartender you hire is the bartender you get — Payge herself. No double-booking, no hand-offs, just focused, high-quality service from beginning to end. Every detail is planned with care so your event runs seamlessly.

We also proudly specialize in sober curious options, offering mocktail versions of your cocktails and unique alcohol-free creations to make all guests feel included and celebrated.

Let’s connect for a free beverage consultation and start planning a bar experience that’s thoughtful, memorable, and genuinely raises the bar.
