We’re Katie and David ─ husband-and-wife hospitality team and founders of Crafted. & Company. Deeply rooted in Sonoma County, we’re inspired by the gatherings that bring people here. It’s an honor to create celebrations that spark connection and to be part of life’s most meaningful moments in the place we call home.
Our role goes beyond bars and timelines. We serve as curators, hosts, and trusted guides throughout the planning process, drawing on experience both behind the scenes and from planning and hosting gatherings of our own. Together with our trusted team of bartenders and support staff, we bring each event to life with intention, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest.
We look forward to bringing a sense of calm, confidence, and joy to your next event.
Cheers,
Hi there!
We practice what we pour—raising a glass to life’s big moments.
