Our Story

With over 40 years of combined service industry experience, our team brings a deep-rooted passion for hospitality, creativity, and unforgettable celebrations. Coastal Drift began with a dream and a 1972 VW Bus — now it’s a full-service mobile bar, premium photo booth, and standout event experience.

We’ve transformed that vintage bus into a head-turning centerpiece, offering everything from custom cocktails and curated bartending to photo-ready setups, on-site photo sessions, and immersive event styling. With East Coast roots and California soul, we deliver experiences that feel effortless, intentional, and uniquely you.

It’s more than a bar — it’s an experience. It’s a moment worth capturing.

Photo Booth Experiences

Bring unforgettable good vibes to your wedding or event with or restored & customized vintage VW Transporter thoughtfully converted into a modern photo booth space. Warm cedar wood paneling, clean coastal textures, and soft natural tones create a relaxed, California-surf atmosphere the moment you step inside. The lounge-style interior offers a comfortable place for guests to gather, take photos, and enjoy the experience at their own pace.
Behind the laid-back style is a professional photo setup, including a Canon 7Ti DSLR, Surface Pro live-view screen, and a DNP 620 dye-sub printer for fast, high-quality prints that last. Purposeful lighting and carefully selected equipment ensure every photo is clear, flattering, and true to the moment.
A beautiful statement piece for weddings, events, and outdoor venues, the Coastal Drift photo bus brings together timeless design and modern photography in a way that feels effortless and memorable.
