Chelsea Dykstra
Chelsea began her journey in the service industry on a break from college at the tender age of 19, slinging milkshakes, beer, wine and not-so-craft cocktails at a chain restaurant. Knowing that wasn’t the final path for her, she resumed college in Bozeman, MT. There, she found herself working high-end events in private clubs in Big Sky, tending bar for events catering, and constructing craft cocktails at local restaurants, where she met Amber in 2016. Many years and many miles later, she and Amber found themselves in their home town of Billings, MT, reconnecting through their love of community, friends, vinyl records and craft cocktails. The rest, as they say, is history. Chelsea has held many professional positions in business, sales, and marketing since her first bartending position, all the while continuing to boomerang back to the service industry for the next 20 years. She enjoys hiking, fly fishing, guiding a drift boat or raft down the river, and skiing any Montana mountain when the snow is flying. She is a mother, jewelry maker, and all around crafting enthusiast. She truly has an eye for detail, mixing premium cocktails, a love for people, and a passion for organizing events to the highest standard.
