Our Story

Where every cocktail tells a story, and every gathering becomes a memory.

Welcome to Pictures and Cocktails LLC, where luxury is more than a look, it’s a feeling. We design unforgettable cocktail and mocktail experiences that celebrate creativity, culture, and connection.

Founded by award-winning mixologist and hospitality curator Keyatta Mincey Parker, Pictures and Cocktails is rooted in the belief that a great drink is more than a recipe, it’s a reflection of who you are, what you love, and how you gather. We bring that belief to life through meticulously crafted events that blend storytelling, sensory design, and signature sips.

From intimate soirées and curated dinners to brand activations and speaking engagements, we tailor each experience to match your energy and your vision. Whether it’s a zero-proof bar takeover or a luxe cocktail tasting, we create moments that look beautiful, and feel even better.

With a focus on sustainability, cultural storytelling, and intentional hospitality, our team delivers more than drinks. We create space for celebration, reflection, and joy, one sip, one picture, one memory at a time.

Welcome to Pictures and Cocktails.
This is where the moment meets the magic.
