This summer, Nightowl Coffee and Hunter Orcutt Events turned up the heat (and cooled it right back down) with our 2nd annual industry pool party at Brookhaven Country Club. Think less business cards and button-ups and more cannonballs and cocktails.

DFW Coffee Catering Meets Poolside Vibes

Most industry events mean stiff collars and stiffer small talk. Not this one. We built an agenda-free oasis—no membership recruiting, no ticket sales, no boring. Just sunshine, splashy cocktails, and Dallas event pros hanging out like it’s summer camp for adults.

This is the kind of experiential activation we live for—where the guest experience comes first, and brand exposure and relationships happen because everyone’s having a darn good time.

Dallas Coffee Carts & Mobile Barista Stations

Hunter Orcutt’s design gave the party its look, but our team of mobile coffee cart pros brought the energy. Guests lined up for iced lattes and matchas, in addition to a seductive lineup of caffeinated martinis. Mama’s Medicine, DFW's most luxurious team of event bartenders nailed the summer cocktail program, serving an smashing lineup of summer-themed cocktails—the Hemingway being my absolute favorite.

Vendors & Creatives Who Made It Happen

This lineup of talented Dallas-based event companies crushed it: Balloons Wow, Pressd Hat Bar, Brite Beauty, Lawson Events, Lane Love Paper Co., Spoons, The Aisle Archives, DJ Dom Nagella, and DJ Adante Mayo & Sax DJ Marquise Jones.

But special love goes to Hannah Way Photography and V Media. Their photos and video didn’t just capture the event—they bottled the whole vibe. Without them, this party would have never been captured as beautifully as it was.

Espresso Catering That Redefines Events

At its core, this wasn’t just a pool party. It was proof that the best industry events don’t need agendas—they just need creative execution, an awesome team, caffeine, cocktails, and great company.

From airline-inspired activations like our in-flight matcha bar to carefree pool parties like this, Nightowl Coffee keeps rewriting what coffee catering can look like.
