Nearly 30 Years of Creating Unforgettable Event Experiences
From humble beginnings as Orlando's pioneering mobile barista service to a premier nationwide interactive beverage and dessert catering company.
Founding in Orlando, Florida
Espresso Events was founded in Orlando, Florida, in 1997 by a talented chef and his artist wife. Their mission was clear: bring upscale, handcrafted mobile barista coffee services to corporate gatherings, banquets, and convention center receptions.
New Ownership & Innovation
In 2010, long-time employee Adriana Ponce Covey and her husband, Mark Covey (an experienced hotel banquet and catering manager), took ownership of Espresso Events. Under their visionary leadership, the company expanded into innovative beverage and dessert experiences, introducing custom liquid nitrogen equipment, flash-frozen ice cream, and specialized corporate carts.
Nationwide Expansion
Surging demand from national conference managers led Espresso Events to expand nationwide by 2012. Today, with major hub operations in Orlando, Washington DC, and Las Vegas, Espresso Events operates up to 23 specialty carts supporting over 2,000 servings per hour across major convention centers.
