OUR STORY
Meet the Owners, Morgan & Wayne
At the end of 2024, we realized the East Coast wasn’t our "forever." So, we did something a little crazy: we packed up our two dogs and our cat, and drove across the country to a place we had never even visited.
The moment we arrived, we absolutely fell in love with Gladstone. The warmth of this community inspired us to plant deep roots here and bring our own unique skills to the neighbors who have already given us so much. That passion is what ultimately led us to take ownership of Sip + Bliss in early 2026, breathing fresh, renewed energy into a business we truly care about.
Behind the Bar: Morgan
Morgan has spent eight years navigating the fast-paced world of the restaurant and hospitality industry. Like many in her field, the challenges of the COVID era became her ultimate training ground. It taught her how to wear every hat imaginable; from managing chaotic dining floors to perfecting custom mixology behind the bar. Because of that experience, she knows exactly how to keep an event running flawlessly, no matter what variables the night throws her way. When you book our bar service, you are getting an expert who handles logistics with absolute grace.
Behind the Lens: Wayne
Wayne brings that same level of deep dedication to visual storytelling. He has spent the last eight years specializing in the portrait, lifestyle, and boudoir scenes, mastering the art of making people feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Wayne doesn't just take photos; he captures people in their most authentic, confident, and beautiful moments. Whether he is filming a major milestone or capturing an intimate portrait session, his goal is to make your experience relaxed, empowering, and fun.
From Our Family to Yours
Sip + Bliss is the blending of our two worlds, and we put our whole hearts into every single event. When we aren’t packing up the trailer or cleaning camera lenses, we are usually just enjoying the Pacific Northwest lifestyle that brought us here in the first place; whether that's Morgan relaxing outside with our dogs, or Wayne tending to his ever growing collection of plants.
We don't just want to show up as your everyday service providers; we want to be the trusted team that helps you look back on your favorite moments and say, "That was absolutely perfect." We truly can't wait to meet our neighbors, collaborate with you, and celebrate your next big milestone together!
