Welcome!
Hello! I’m Mckenzy Johnson, founder of Kenzy’s Traveling Mixers. I grew up in Brazil, Indiana, where a small diner job first sparked my love for hospitality. That passion followed me to Indianapolis and Butler University, where I spent my college years bartending and catering at Binkley’s Kitchen & Bar, discovering how much I enjoyed creating memorable experiences for people.
After a short time in the corporate world, I realized my heart belonged to service, creativity, and celebrations. In May 2025, I launched Kenzy’s Traveling Mixers—a mobile dry‑hire bartending service dedicated to providing reliable, stress‑free, and customizable bar experiences for events of all kinds.

Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a large celebration, we’re here to make the process simple, clear, and stress‑free. Let’s bring your vision to life—one drink at a time.
Planning an event in Indiana comes with a few alcohol rules, and my goal is to make the process simple, clear, and stress‑free. Here’s how it works depending on where your event is held and what you plan to serve.
Private Events (Homes, Backyards, Private Property)
If your event is hosted at a private residence and you’re not charging admission or making a profit, Indiana does not require any permits or licenses for alcohol.
That means you’re free to purchase and supply your own beer, wine, and spirits.
Clients hire Kenzy’s Traveling Mixers for:
Professional bartending
Preventing underage drinking
Making sure drinks are crafted correctly
Helping manage alcohol so you don’t run out too quickly
Keeping guests safe and preventing overserving
Private events are the easiest and most flexible option.
Public Venues (Any Rented or Public Facility)
Once you rent a venue or host an event open to the public, Indiana liquor laws apply. The rules depend on what type of alcohol you want to serve.
If You Want to Serve Spirits (Vodka, Whiskey, Tequila, etc.)
Indiana requires a 3‑way liquor license to serve hard alcohol at public venues.
Because I operate as a dry‑hire bartending service, I do not provide or sell alcohol. So if you want spirits at your event:
The venue must already hold a valid 3‑way liquor license.
(Or, in the future, we may partner with a licensed alcohol caterer to offer this option.)
The license holder is legally responsible for:
Ordering the alcohol
Supplying it
Transporting it
Serving it
Paying all required taxes
My team handles the bartending — the venue handles the alcohol.
If You Want to Serve Beer, Wine, Champagne, or Malt‑Based Beverages
You have three legal options in Indiana:
1. Hire a licensed alcohol caterer (2‑way or 3‑way license)
They supply, deliver, and serve the alcohol.
2. Hire my team AND use a venue that already has a 2‑way or 3‑way license
This is the simplest option. The venue provides the legal coverage, and we handle the bartending.
3. Apply for a Temporary Beer & Wine Permit
This is the most cost‑effective option and allows you to buy your own beer and wine from any store.
Under this permit:
The permit costs $53.94
A venue blueprint showing the bar location is required
If minors are present, the bar must be in a 21+ area
You must hire a permitted bartender (that’s us!)
A separate non‑alcoholic drink station is required
No additional alcohol can be brought in once the event begins
Only beer, wine, champagne, wine alternatives, and malt beverages under 21% ABV are allowed
No carry‑out alcohol is permitted
All open bottles must be emptied at the end of the event
The best part? I can handle the entire permitting process for you.
Final Note
Indiana liquor laws can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you’re hosting at home, renting a venue, or applying for a temporary permit, I’ll guide you through every step to make sure your event is fully compliant and runs smoothly.
