the guests everyone will be talking about

  • A young woman in a white dress holding a leash attached to a small black cow decorated with white flowers and green leaves. They are outside on green grass with a white fence and some trees in the background under a clear blue sky.

    Dakota

    MICRO MINI HIGHLAND COW

    Dakota was born to be the life of the party, and he knows it.

    Originally from a small farm in South Dakota, Dakota quickly traded pasture life for the spotlight. The moment he sees the trailer, he's the first one onboard, ready to greet guests, pose for photos, and soak up every cuddle and scratch he can get.

    When he's off the clock, you'll find him strolling the pasture with his favorite ladies while his best buddy, Oakley, keeps him out of too much trouble... most of the time.

    Stella

    MINIATURE DONKEY

    Stella is living proof that kindness and good looks can absolutely go together.

    This sweet miniature donkey is one half of our beverage burro dream team. Whether she's carrying cocktails during your celebration or soaking up attention from guests, Stella's calm, gentle nature makes everyone feel right at home.

    She's especially fond of being brushed, admired, and told how beautiful she is (and honestly, we completely agree). With her expressive ears, curious personality, and endless patience, Stella has a way of stealing hearts one cuddle at a time.

    Otis

    MINIATURE DONKEY

    Otis is the second half of our beverage burro dynamic duo.

    Our playful miniature donkey believes every conversation, every camera, and every snack is somehow about him…and he's usually not wrong. With a personality far bigger than his tiny frame, Otis is always on the lookout for his next adventure, whether that's greeting guests, delivering drinks, or investigating absolutely everything happening around him.

    He's equal parts entertainer, social butterfly, and professional attention-seeker. Wherever Otis goes, laughter isn't far behind.

Choosing the Perfect Venue

When selecting a venue, keep the following in mind:

Open Outdoor Space

A spacious outdoor area allows our animals to interact comfortably with guests while creating memorable photo opportunities and a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.

Accessible Parking

Our team arrives with a trailer and requires convenient parking for approximately one hour during unloading and preparation. A designated parking area with ample space is ideal and helps ensure a smooth arrival.

Easy Access

Venues with straightforward access and well-maintained roads are best. This helps provide a safe and comfortable journey for our animals and allows us to arrive on time and event-ready.

If you're unsure whether your venue is a good fit, we're happy to coordinate directly with your planner or venue team to review the logistics.

FAQs

  • A beverage burro is a friendly, beautifully trained donkey who serves as a charming event attendant. Equipped with custom pack baskets, our burros can carry beverages, welcome gifts, party favors, floral arrangements, or branded products while mingling with your guests and creating unforgettable photo opportunities.

  • No. Your venue, caterer, or event host provides the beverages or items to be served, and our burros deliver them with style.
