Creating bespoke experiences for discerning hosts

Modern mixology meets event artistry with MAU Drinks and MAU Décor

You’re hosting.

People you love and respect. People with taste. People who notice.

The bar becomes the meeting point. Signature cocktails are shaken or stirred to order by a seasoned mixologist and served in crystal glassware. Chilled champagne spills through a glass tower, catching the light and the room’s attention. Music stays low and the atmosphere comes alive.

MAU Drinks designs bar experiences for discerning hosts who set the standard

Think corporate events, brand launches, executive receptions, luxury weddings, private lunches and intimate celebrations. People gather and connect, glasses in hand. A familiar face is always there when someone comes back for another round. The next drink is already what they’re in the mood for.

Alongside this, MAU Décor sets the scene around that experience.

Tables are styled for standing conversations and easy movement, with seating that invites guests to settle in once they’ve found their circle. Gold-flecked canapés move through the room, always within reach. Modern florals add a refined focal point throughout the space. As daylight fades, lighting shifts to a warm, flattering glow.

If this is your idea of hosting, you’re in good company.

Born from a love of beautiful hosting, MAU brings together mixology-led bar services and curated event décor into one elegant vision.

Behind every MAU event

MAU was founded by Maude Mphosi, whose relationship with hospitality began long before the brand existed. Years spent inside events shaped her understanding of how they function in real time – where energy builds, where it drops and how details influence the way people feel in a space.

MAU Décor was the first expression of that instinct. Rather than approaching décor as styling alone, Maude focused on how environments support movement, connection and atmosphere. MAU Décor officially launched in October 2025 with a debut event. Each piece in the collection has been personally sourced, with an emphasis on quality, versatility and presence. The range itself has quickly become part of the conversation at events, establishing a signature of MAU-calibre gatherings for from the start.

That same thinking led naturally to MAU Drinks. Mobile bar service was never viewed as separate from the event, but as a defining part of it, with mixology informing drink selection, flavour profiles and menu cohesion across the bar. Today, MAU Drinks is led in partnership with award-winning mixologist Tebogo Nyembe, whose focus is on artful cocktails, consistent execution and bar service that holds its standard from the first round to the last.

By combining considered décor with mixology expertise, MAU creates events that linger in memory.

Ways to host with MAU

Our mixology-forward mobile bar services and event décor adapt easily across formats, scales and settings, always delivered with exceptional attention to detail. These are the occasions we’re most often trusted with – and where our ideas come alive.

01.

Premium corporate gatherings

MAU is brought in for executive receptions, client dinners, deal-close celebrations, investor evenings and brand-facing hospitality where first impressions matter.

Picture a styled bar that looks like it belongs in the space, bartenders who work the room with confidence and a menu guided by mixology – refined cocktails, premium bubbles, top-label wine and considered non-alcoholic options that still feel elevated. For you, hosting becomes simpler. One team. One vision. Service that runs quietly in the background while you focus on your guests, your conversations and the outcome you’re there for.

02.

Luxury weddings

You’ve thought about the vows. The music. The table you’ll sit at. Now think about the moments in between. Guests arriving to a champagne pour that keeps flowing.

A cocktail created around a flavour you both love. A bar that feels busy in the best way – people leaning in, catching up, ordering “the same as last time”. Tables spaced for mingling, stools pulled closer as conversations stretch. Later, when heels come off and speeches are done, the drinks evolve too. Espresso martinis. A round of tequila. Old favourites. Intimate or grand, we’d be honoured to be part of your wedding day.

03.

Brand launches and media moments

For launches, the bar becomes part of the concept. A beauty launch could feature a cocktail inspired by a key fragrance or active ingredient. A fashion reveal might include a sparkling serve that arrives just as the runway set opens.

A launch for a chocolate or coffee brand could feature a dessert-inspired cocktail capturing the flavour notes. From beauty and fashion to wellness, hospitality and automotive brands – just to name a few – launches work best when the experience gives people something to photograph, talk about and remember long after the event ends. And, of course, we can bring décor to match.

04.

Bridal showers and daytime celebrations

You’ve probably already saved the Pinterest board. Now, let’s make it real. Bridal showers and daytime celebrations are where MAU gets to play, guided by a few favourite themes clients often return to.

You could choose a blue-and-yellow Italian aperitivo hour setup, with relaxed lounge seating, bowls of blood orange and lemon on the table and a bitter-sweet spritz in hand. Others opt for a modern garden party style – a soft pastel palette, linen textures and seasonal florals. There are also champagne breakfast club settings, where elegant displays, crystal glassware and fresh pastries come together.

05.

Private birthdays and at-home hosting

A birthday dinner that starts with cocktails on the terrace. An anniversary lunch that lingers well past sunset. A private gathering hosted simply because everyone was already in town.

When it happens at home, the experience feels deeply personal. The space is familiar, the guest list considered. Now add a bar designed for that setting. Mixology inspires a cocktail menu built around what you love to drink, poured by bartenders who read the room and remember preferences. Wines are opened as seats fill, bubbles are refreshed from ice buckets nearby and glasses return already full.

06.

Kids’ parties and family milestones

These are the days you’ll talk about later. Whether it’s a first birthday, a christening lunch or a naming ceremony with everyone together, the setup works for all ages, side by side.

For children, juice stations become part of the celebration, with flavoured waters and fun garnishes that make grabbing a drink part of the excitement. A few steps away, adults settle in around good coffee and a discreet bubbles option once the cake is cut. Décor follows the theme through colour, texture and thoughtful details across the space. When milestones are hosted thoughtfully, you’re free to be present for them.
