How much space do the animals need?

They need a clear path for walking and a small staging area; grassy or permeable surfaces are preferred and venues should confirm adequate room.

Can the Beer Steer actually carry drinks?

Yes—the trained micro mini cow can carry beverages in baskets on its sides, but hosts can request the animal to be dressed up without carrying drinks.

Are the animals safe around children and crowds?

Handlers are included to manage interactions and ensure safety; the animals used are calm and trained for events, but supervision is required for young children.

What happens if an animal soils a hard surface?

Handlers carry cleaning supplies and the cow uses a discreet waste-collection bag; any incidents are addressed quickly and professionally.

Is the fee refundable if we cancel?

Booking requires a 50% deposit with the remaining balance due 30 days before the event; cancellation policy specifics will be confirmed during booking.

Do you travel far for events?

The price includes travel up to 20 miles from the farm; beyond that there is a $5 per mile charge one way.

Bring a Beer Steer or Alpacas to Your Kent Wedding: Micro Mini Cow Event Entertainment

Weddings Request brings a precisely choreographed slice of farm life to celebrations within and around Kent, Ohio, United States. The headline act is the Beer Steer — a trained micro mini cow that ambles through cocktail hour with baskets on its sides so guests can help themselves — and an equally charming alternative: a pair of well-mannered alpacas. Both options are built for interaction and photographs; they are calm, trained for crowds, and led by two professional handlers who manage animal care and guest safety. Designed as a one-hour happy-hour experience, the offering is simple: $500 secures either the Beer Steer OR two Alpacas; add the other for an additional $250 and you have both for $750. Travel from the farm includes the first 20 miles; beyond that the company charges $5 per mile one way. A 50% deposit reserves the date, with the balance due 30 days before your event. Hosts supply beverages placed into the steer’s baskets if they want the novelty; handlers will place drinks and assist guests. Alcohol service and venue permission remain the host’s responsibility, so confirm approval in advance. What makes this different from a photo booth or a roaming caterer is the way live animals change the rhythm of a party: conversation accrues around the steer’s slow, steady walk, couples queue for photos beside the alpacas, and servers get an unexpected partner in crowd entertainment. For Kent-area couples seeking low-key spectacle that reads playful rather than kitschy, the micro mini cow is an immediately memorable focal point that fits both fields and wedding venues with permissive indoor spaces. Practical details matter: grassy or permeable surfaces are preferred for arrival and service; handlers can work on hard surfaces but will need contingency plans for animal waste — the cow wears a discreet waste-collection bag and handlers address any incidents quickly. Indoor venues should verify capacity and flooring, and hosts should disclose allergies or animal aversions to guests beforehand. The service is suitable for family-friendly events where children and adults will want to pet and photograph the animals. Booking starts with a request; the provider will follow up to confirm logistics, venue approvals, and any special handling. If you want a wedding favor that breaks the template — an experience memorable enough to be remembered in photos and stories for years — a Beer Steer or alpaca appearance turns a standard reception into an event with an unforgettable four-footed guest. Contact information is provided through the booking request and handlers coordinate arrival windows, setup, and guest flow to ensure the animals are relaxed; clear communication with your venue and caterer makes the experience smooth and keeps focus on celebration, not logistics. Book early for peak dates.
