About Us 

We’re Elizabeth and Ethan—the duo behind Port 42.

Elizabeth is a seasoned bartender with 14 years in the industry, a passion for hosting, and a talent for turning craft cocktails into unforgettable moments. Ethan is a former Army helicopter pilot and skilled craftsman who built our mobile bar from the ground up with a clear vision: to create something timeless, functional, and unforgettable.

We met in Hawaii at our favorite local brewery, bonded over great beer and even better conversation, and the rest is history. After moving to Tacoma, Washington, we launched Port 42 as a way to bring elevated cocktails and meaningful experiences to weddings, parties, and private events throughout the Pacific Northwest. Great drinks, better company, and a dash of adventure—that’s the Port 42 way.
