meet the face behind the name
Hey there! I’m Erica Elaine — the face behind The Tipsy Elaine, and I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m equal parts perfectionist, people-pleaser, organizer, and social butterfly. I’ve spent many years in the service industry and I’ve always loved being the person behind the bar — creating delicious drinks, making people laugh, keeping things running smoothly, and helping turn an ordinary gathering into a memorable one.
I’ve dreamed about owning my own business for as long as I can remember. So one day, I decided to take the thing I love most — craft cocktails, connecting with people, and creating unforgettable experiences — on the road!
And just like that, The Tipsy Elaine was born. 🍸
I’m a Michigan girl through and through, and I have a serious soft spot for our local hometown bars. There’s nothing better than a small, cozy, slightly-dark neighborhood bar where you can sit back, enjoy a drink, have a great conversation, and somehow leave feeling like you’ve known everyone there forever.
That feeling is what I want to bring to your event.
Whether I’m bartending at your wedding, shaking cocktails at a private party, serving up drinks at a celebration, or helping you create the perfect signature cocktail, my goal is always the same: make you feel like you’re celebrating with friends, not hiring a stranger.
I believe the little things matter. The perfectly garnished cocktail. The cold beer. The stocked bar. The guest who needs a recommendation. The bride who needs one less thing to worry about. The moment when everyone finally relaxes, raises their glass, and enjoys the party.
Because your event should be about making memories — not worrying about what’s happening behind the bar.
When you choose The Tipsy Elaine, you’re not just getting bartenders. You’re getting someone who genuinely cares about your experience and wants to make your celebration feel effortless, fun, and uniquely yours.
So grab your favorite drink, pull up a seat, and welcome to The Tipsy Elaine.
Let’s raise a glass to good drinks, great people, and unforgettable memories. 🥂

What our clients are saying
Our incredible bartenders from The Tipsy Elaine! My girl Erica Elaine did not disappoint! She handled an enormous group (our wedding was huge) with attentiveness to detail, they were personable and friendly they whipped up drinks and stayed consistently busy the entire night and never slowed! My significant drink that she crafted with beautiful edible flowers is officially now my FAVORITE drink for the summer!! I know they had to be whipped by the end of that day but they did not show it! Smiles and amazing energy that just brought the buzz around my wedding! Helped the bride out in more ways than one!! Would recommend her 1000 times over! I love that she stayed in constant contact with us and met with me to create our vision! They truly went above and beyond! Food and drinks are usually the most important things! You will not be disappointed booking with The Tipsy Elaine! I have nothing but upmost respect for the magic they pulled off!! Would recommend them for any party!! Can’t thank them enough!
