Our Story

Hey! We are happy you found your way to us! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are two small town girls, with a big vision, and even larger work ethic. Dental hygienists by trade, entrepreneurs and still learning. We are Holly and Jamie, founders of Motor City Mobile Bar. We met about 12 years ago working in the same dental office. We had always joked about being each other's right hand; when we dropped something, the other was there to pick it up. A true friendship you did not want to lose a grip on.

Behind every great idea, comes a great support system. Holly is married to her husband Daryl, and the mother of two very busy boys. They spend all of their free time on the ice playing hockey and are now adding baseball to the line up. They sneak by once in a while for a coffee event, so make sure you if you see them around they are working hard! Jamie is married to her husband Matthew and proud parents of two doodles, Lonnie and Kona. When not busy with the mobile bar, they love to travel to Hawaii and spend time with family and friends!

Late fall of 2021, we had many sleepless nights wondering how we can show our passion to serve others, but where do we start? We searched endless roads throughout Michigan, to find our forever favorite trailer right here in our backyard of South Lyon, Mi. With the help of our amazing dads, (shout out to Mark and John!) they brought our vision to life and turned our big red horse trailer into a classic, chic, modern bar. We will forever owe them.

We started MCMB with the passion to serve others, and put our skills to work. After a series of bar serving events, we decided to expand into the coffee world. Thanks to the talented team at Black Diesel Barista school in Ann Arbor, we are espresso aficionados, and love sharing our passion for a great cup of coffee with others.

We love to put smiles on others' faces (and we love contributing to keeping them clean as well). We love to think of ourselves as the dynamic duo, no matter what is happening in our lives we are always going above and beyond to see the next event through! We are here to help you in any way we can from weddings, corporate events, graduation parties, or even bridal and baby showers. From a warm welcome to you and your guests, to the best service in the midwest let us know how we can help!

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
