Salt & Bubbles Wine Bar and Market

“We hired Kayla and her Salt & Bubbles team as our bar catering for our October 2025 wedding and they were phenomenal! To start, Kayla is an industry pro and it shows. From our first conversation with her we knew we were in good hands - she has so many connections and experience with other local vendors. While we absolutely loved the trailer that they use for catering, Kayla's professionalism was half the reason why we decided to go with S&B over other bar caterers! During the planning process, she raised many concerns we wouldn't have otherwise thought about! Leading up to the wedding, Kayla was always in constant communication with us - from making our signature cocktail recipes to choosing our "fancy" plastic cups to hunting down the exact IPA my husband wanted for the big day. Day of, Kayla and her staff came early in her trailer, set up for cocktail hour, and had pre-batched our signature cocktails ready to go for our guests following the ceremony. Her staff was also lovely and warm, and throughout the night I noticed several of them personally checking in on me and my husband to make sure we wouldn't miss time away from our wedding to stand at the bar. Our guests absolutely loved the trailer and it was the perfect touch to our rustic venue and wedding vibe. Everything ran so smoothly. Overall, we are so happy with Kayla and the Salt & Bubbles team and would absolutely recommend them to cater your next event!”

“What a wonderful experience! Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lovely with just enough lighting and candles on the tables. We ordered a full charcuterie board and were quite surprised with not only the presentation and quality, but the quantity of food that was on the board. Everything was delicious! We also ordered the Stracciatella tartine which was equally divine! Such a treat to have gem right here in Essex!”

“Such a delightful experience. Recommend ALWAYS getting the seasonal salad (even if you’re not a salad person), they’re perfection. And of course the wine pairings are *chefs kiss*. Perfect wine bar experience… solo or with a group. Great retail wine shop attached. Recommend highly!”

“Nice fun place to hang out and enjoy a great selection of wines, charcuterie, cheeses, and snacks. The ambiance is nice, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They also have a store side to purchase wine by the bottles and there are so many to choose from. They also have a wine club for $40 per month that gets you two bottles a month, 10% discount on purchases and a few other goodies.”

“Where do I even start with this perfect place? Salt & Bubbles is such a joy and such an important part of the Essex Experience revamp. Not only is it a great spot to stop on your way home for a delicious wine, but they also have super tasty lunches when you want to treat yourself. Kayla and Taylor are so talented at recommending wines based on your taste or mood, and often recommend something I’ve never heard of that becomes a new favorite. The location is stunning and so bright and cheery. We recently recently rented their space and had them host a baby shower for a friend, and it could not have gone more beautifully. Kayla is a breeze to work with, the food was stupid delicious, and the vibes were beyond perfection. Everyone had so much fun, and the momma-to-be felt so comfortable. Their events and classes are always a blast, too! Cannot recommend Salt & Bubbles enough.”
