Every experience begins with our Highlands. We shape the styling, timing, and beverage details around your celebration.

A few thoughtful details

Before we raise a glass.

Is alcohol included in the Highland package?

No. Our quote covers the Highland appearance and agreed styling. Alcohol, bartending, glassware, and tasting services are arranged separately with your venue or an appropriately authorized beverage provider. We confirm the service arrangement before booking.

Does the cow carry the drinks?

We can plan a Highland appearance beside a styled beverage station. Any request for animal-worn beverage packs is assessed individually and is not guaranteed. The animal’s comfort, training, equipment fit, and venue conditions guide the final setup.

Can we choose Scotch whisky or a nonalcoholic toast?

Yes—tell us which direction you love. For Scotch, we coordinate the appearance and styling around your beverage provider’s service. For alcohol-free celebrations, bottled lemonade, root beer, and sparkling drinks are lovely possibilities.

What does it cost, and where do you travel?

Every event receives a custom quote based on the appearance, styling, staffing, location, and timing. We’re based in Stanley and welcome inquiries from Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and central New Mexico. Travel and applicable tax are detailed in your quote.

What should our venue know?

We need venue approval, suitable access and footing, space for supervised interaction, and a comfortable rest area for the animal. Weather and animal wellbeing can affect plans. We’ll review the details with you and your venue before confirming.
