- Cannabis bar at Ricarda's Restaurant | Café | Event Venue for haley & Abir
“Lucas and HIGH BAR did our wedding recently, and we couldn't have been more pleased! They were informative, professional and their set up was beautiful. Their staff were funny and easy to talk to at the event, and they safely provided our 150 guest wedding of all adult ages with cannabis - some for the first time or first time in decades. Their cannabis recommendations were spot on for the type of event we were throwing and our guests absolutely loved the weed and the experience. Simply put, they were amazing to work with and pulled off an epic event for us!” We have the privilege of collaborating with exceptional clients, esteemed vendors, and exquisite event venues. Just recently, we had the pleasure of bringing the unparalleled HIGH BAR experience to the wedding reception of Haley & Abir. Attendees were invited to approach the bar and immerse themselves in a sensory journey, whereby they could select their preferred cultivar solely through its enticing aroma. This captivating activation not only provided an avenue for guests to expand their knowledge on cannabis, but also emphasized the significance of responsible consumption.

- THE "HANGOVER FREE" CANNABIS BEVERAGE EXPERIENCE BY HIGH BAR
THC:CBD INFUSED MOCKTAILS ARE ALL THE RAGE AT #EVENTS ACROSS CANADA Welcome to the Infusing Experience created by HIGH BAR™️ 🍷🍹🧉🧋☕️🍵. At HIGH BAR, we have created the perfect event experience for guests who consume cannabis beverages or just want to try it for the first time. Our certified staff will infuse (odourless and flavourless) cannabis on-site at the HIGH BAR, and we never compromise the taste of your favourite non-alcoholic beverage. Using our infusing technique, we control your experience by providing guests with 1mg balance of THC:CBD (1:1) or, just CBD in each beverage. If you are planning on serving alcohol, you should also consider serving cannabis beverages. A lot of your guests might actually prefer a cannabis infused beverage, which additionally can be a much healthier option. We focus on educating so that guests have the ability to modify how they want the cannabis to affect their senses and overall mood during the event. Here are just some of the many different infused beverages we have served at events across 🇨🇦: Sparkling Water Fruit Juice Hot Tea Bubble Tea Coffee Soda/Pop Iced Tea Non-Alcoholic Beer or Wine Water Mocktail *Mixologist upgrade available We can also infuse into any sauce, soup or liquid, hot or cold. Experience our Stündenglass high quality glass cloche, which we use to infuse non-alcoholic beverages with the flavour of rich smoke. Transforming any cannabis beverage into a speciality experience to be remembered. 💨 🍉 🥃✨ Above showcases HIGH BAR at a corporate event, assisting with the cannabis bartending experience. It was truly a luxurious and unique event. The star of the show was our rosemary infused peach mocktail, which was made extra special with the addition of a CBD Liquid Infuser by @breakwatercannabis available at @ocs__canada . The combination of flavours was absolutely delightful and left all of the guests feeling relaxed and refreshed. I must give a huge shoutout to the incredibly talented @codey.erin for executing the event flawlessly. It was truly an event to remember. Cheers to bringing a touch of luxury to the world of CBD! HIGH BAR experiences can be provided in an event space during a private event, corporate event, or social event (festivals, fundraisers, concerts, and more). Depending on the location of your event (for example: town, city, or province), some experiences will not be available. When booking High Bar, our sales rep will confirm what you can, or can't provide, depending on the location, and the type of event you are hosting. It's important to understand that licensees are at higher risk when allowing guests to bring their own cannabis into their licensed establishment. On average 20-30% of guests will bring their own cannabis to the event, unregulated and possibly even illegal cannabis on-site, putting the licensees liquor licence at risk. Having the High Bar, not only removes that risk but also adds a layer of safety for the guests, and the event host, preventing overconsumption. High Bar will assist licensees on how to comply with all requirements under the LLCA, and its regulations.

- Industry Innovators 2022: 10 Caterers and F&B Pros Making Their Mark on the Hospitality Industry
While every facet of the event industry faced its challenges over the last couple years, it’s arguable that the catering and F&B industry encountered more than most. After all, how do you create single-serve, COVID-safe options without sacrificing presentation and quality? What impact will new safety measures have on sustainability efforts? Are buffets really dead? Through it all, the innovative professionals on this list continued to study and improve their craft—finding clever ways to accommodate the ever-changing regulations, to incorporate interesting new flavors, to keep expanding their businesses and most of all, to offer a delicious and memorable experience for eventgoers. Click through the profiles below to learn how they each got their start in the F&B industry, insights into their most memorable dishes and events, details on their all-time favorite foods and what the idea of "innovation" means to them. Adam Haverland Executive Chef, JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort Adelee Cabrera Vice President of Operations, Elior North America Alexa Babbin Winter Chief Events Officer, Pinch Food Design Bill Hansen CEO, Bill Hansen Hospitality Group Fausto Pifferer Co-Founder, Blue Elephant Events and Catering Kashif Browne Executive Chef, Ridgewells Catering Lauren Koeppe CEO and Co-Founder, Create Hospitality Lucas Margulis Founder and President, HIGH BAR Hospitality & Event Group Robin Selden Managing Partner and Executive Chef, Marcia Selden Catering Thomas Whelan Director of Banquets, Levy Convention Centers Industry Innovators 2022: Lucas Margulis The Toronto-based founder and president of HIGH BAR Hospitality & Event Group created Canada's first luxury mobile cannabis bar. CLAIRE HOFFMAN APRIL 12, 2022 Lucas Leandro Margulis is the founder and president of luxury mobile cannabis bar HIGH BAR Hospitality & Event Group, along with audiovisual company PURE Entertainment and creative solutions company LUCREATIVE. He’s based in Toronto. How he got his start: At just 15 years old, Margulis began DJing and emceeing events across Ontario. He credits this time for sparking his interest in entrepreneurship. “My passion for running businesses and inspiring change continued throughout multiple endeavors that carried me through the live events, entertainment, fashion and cannabis industry,” he explains. Several years back, Margulis saw an opening in the event industry: the opportunity to introduce cannabis to events in a unique, luxury-driven way. “Cannabis was something being consumed, but was always hidden,” he explains. “The idea of HIGH BAR came to fruition in 2015, but was a slow process in building as Canada’s legalization was only made official in 2018. Evolving the business and services as the Canadian laws changed, I wanted to focus on the safety of cannabis, yet the elegance in which it could also be consumed at events.” Overcoming the stigma: Margulis notes that educating clients and contradicting the stigma surrounding cannabis quickly became the leading factors behind HIGH BAR, which he says was the first business in Canada to offer mobile cannabis services for events. “Now, HIGH BAR is bringing elegance and awareness and busting through the stigma around cannabis," he says. A unique guest experience: “In 2019, I added our vape station experience, which includes a vapor bar tap called ‘The Cube’ where guests can drink the vapor out of a glass, sipping it or using gold reusable straws,” he explains, adding: “My newest innovation, and my most popular one, is called the ‘Infusing Experience.’ We infuse cannabis on-site into non-alcoholic beverages (like juice, bubble tea, coffee, soda/pop and mocktails) that guests can enjoy as an alternative to an alcoholic beverage. Of course, it can also be applied to our catering division, where we can infuse it into any dish (hot or cold), which we do by collaborating with our clients' provided caterers.” The best part of his job: “I love to come up with ideas and make them a reality! From creating HIGH BAR to designing and manufacturing our own bar products and decor, it lets me use my creative background,” Margulis says. “I also love getting to meet amazing people and most importantly, changing how people think about and consume cannabis in an event setting.” He also enjoys speaking to students studying event design and hospitality. It’s about “giving the future of our industry a better understanding on how cannabis can be provided in a way that is elegant, event-friendly and for guests, an unforgettable experience.” What innovation means to him: “Innovation, to me, means to bring something to the table that no one has ever seen before or experienced. It is something that separates you from everyone else,” Margulis says. “Innovation comes with a lot of disappointments, but when you finally get it right—well, the reward is totally worth it. Part of innovating is taking risks by putting your ideas out there and truly believing in yourself and your vision.” His all-time favorite food: “Asado (beef ribs) with mashed potatoes, 10000000%. It's the Argentine in me!” In his free time: Margulis founded the popular Facebook group "Take Over My Event Contract," which helps event companies and vendors in Ontario connect with others looking to sell, transfer or take over contracts. His biggest hope for the F&B industry: “That [event hosts] start catering to all their guests. Guests bringing their own cannabis to a function is proof that a host is not providing enough for their guests,” he points out. “We wouldn’t expect guests to bring their own alcohol, would we? Approximately 70% of guests will want to consume cannabis—pre-rolls, vapor bar taps, infused beverages—or at least want to try it in an event setting. Be a good host, and take care of all your guests.” MOBILE CANNABIS BARS | BUDTENDING | PRE-ROLLS | VAPE ON TAP | CANNABIS CATERING | INFUSED BEVERAGES & MORE 🌱 HIGH BAR Hospitality & Event Group is Canada's first luxury mobile cannabis bar providing cannabis sommeliers, budtenders, consumption lounges, cannabis catering and other hospitality services.

Infused Beverages & Mocktails
Welcome to the groovy world of CANNAbis BARtending, where we've created the ultimate event experience for guests who dig cannabis-infused beverages or are ready to embark on their first journey. Our certified staff will infuse cannabis on-site at the Cannabar, with a totally odourless and flavourless process that never messes with the taste of your favourite non-alcoholic drink. Through our far-out High Bar infusing technique, we can totally vibe with your experience by hooking guests up with a 1mg balance of activated THC:CBD (1:1) in each beverage. The onset takes around 5-10 minutes, man, preventing any overconsumption mishaps.
