Our Story | The Sol-Tree Company

I’m Jess – Barologist, Interior Stylist, Explorer, Treasure Hunter & Mom.

CRAZY ABOUT TRAVEL, TEQUILA, AND ALL THINGS ART DECO.

I grew up on the beaches of Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County and graduated from the Florida Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science Business Degree in Environmental Science. My concentrations were in Construction Project Management and Sustainability.

Residing in the Arts District, I have a passion for historic preservation, community planning, and all things artistic, creative, vintage, and delicious. With a minor and specialty in Construction Management, hands-on design projects and one-of-a-kind experiences for my clients are what I love to do. In 2022, I partnered with local business owners Holly & John Zarski of Z Create Designs to deepen Sol-Tree’s element of personalization our clients crave. Sol-Tree Cocktail Co. is not your average bar company.

Working as a traveling bartender for over ten years I have had the pleasure of working at hundreds of events throughout the country. From corporate events in Dallas, Texas to luxurious intimate gatherings in Orange County, California, and Malibu, to VIP experiences in Miami, farm-to-table co-ops in Chattanooga, TN, and the opening of an Irish Pub in Manhattan, NY, I know what makes an event experience successful and unforgettable.

For almost a decade now Sol-Tree Cocktail Co. has been elevating the craft of event cocktails and event bar services throughout Central Florida. Unlike other bar companies, our team focuses on your event theme, company brand or love story to inspire your bar experience with us. We craft not only unforgettable drinks but experiences, too!

In 2023, we will be launching STAYged, our rental & styling company. After 10 years of elevating the cocktail scene in Brevard, it’s time to elevate the stays of visitors coming here to the Space Coast.

And it went like…

In 2013, The Sol-Tree Company was started as a senior year incubator project while attending Florida Tech. Sol-Tree was founded on the idea of transforming local events, concerts and festivals into eco-friendly gatherings. But with a strong hospitality background, during my internship, I continuously recognized another greatly overlooked element to most events, the bar. Thus, Sol-Tree Cocktail Co. began.
