Beverage Burros & Miniature Donkeys for Weddings and Events in Northeast and North Central Florida & South Georgia

Unforgettable Guest Experiences — Two Donkeys at a Time!

Burro Buddies is a family-owned and operated Beverage Burro and miniature donkey event business based in Northeast Florida, bringing interactive guest experiences to weddings, corporate events, private parties, church events, photo sessions, brand activations, and special events throughout Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, St. Augustine, Central Florida, Ocala, Gainesville and Southeast Georgia. We also travel to other areas as long they are within a 2 hour radius from Callahan, FL. 

Our friendly, trained miniature donkeys — often called Beverage Burros or Beer Burros — can carry client- or venue-provided beverages, favors, snacks, or promotional items in customized baskets while mingling with your guests.

But the drinks are only part of the experience.

Our donkeys become instant conversation starters, photo opportunities, and sometimes even the perfect “plus one” for the guest who doesn't know anyone else. They have a special way of bringing people together and creating genuine moments of laughter, connection, and fun.

You provide the beverages. We bring the donkeys, the personality, and the unforgettable moments.

Beverage Burros for Weddings

Looking for a unique wedding experience your guests will actually remember?

Our wedding Beverage Burros are especially popular during cocktail hour, where our miniature donkeys mingle with guests while carrying sealed canned or bottled beverages in their custom baskets.

Choose our Signature Experience with one Beverage Burro and one interaction donkey, upgrade to two Beverage Burros for additional beverage capacity, or skip the beverages altogether with our Donkey Drop-In.

From rustic ranch weddings to elegant venues, coastal celebrations, and everything in between, we customize our donkeys' décor to complement your wedding while creating an interactive experience guests of all ages can enjoy.

Miniature Donkeys for Corporate Events, Parties & Special Events

Burro Buddies isn't just for weddings.

Our miniature donkeys bring a fun, unexpected element to corporate events, conferences, employee appreciation events, networking events, grand openings, private parties, church gatherings, community events, photo sessions, and brand activations.

Our Beverage Burros can carry client-provided beverages, while their baskets can also be customized for non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, favors, giveaways, or branded promotional items.

Whether they're greeting guests, posing for photos, or making their way through a networking event, our donkeys have a way of getting people talking and interacting.

More Than Just a Beer Burro

The term Beer Burro may be what brings you here, but Burro Buddies is about much more than a donkey carrying drinks.

Our miniature donkeys are our pets and part of our family. Their health, comfort, training, and well-being always come first.

We spend countless hours working with our donkeys at home and exposing them gradually to different environments so they can become confident, well-socialized event partners. We believe the best guest experience starts with animals that are happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoy interacting with people.

If you've ever met us at an event, you've probably discovered pretty quickly that we also love talking about donkeys! These intelligent, affectionate, and often misunderstood animals have incredible personalities, and sharing a little donkey education along the way has become one of our favorite parts of Burro Buddies.

A Professional, Venue-Friendly Mini Donkey Experience

We understand that bringing live animals to a wedding venue, hotel, corporate property, or private event requires more than simply showing up with adorable donkeys.

Every Burro Buddies experience includes:

• Friendly, well-socialized miniature donkeys trained for public events

• Experienced handlers focused on animal and guest safety

• Two miniature donkeys with our standard experiences

• Customizable décor to complement your wedding, event, or brand

• General liability insurance with Certificates of Insurance available

• ServSafe-certified handlers

• Clean, professional, venue-friendly procedures

• Dedicated attention to animal welfare throughout your event

• Plenty of guest interaction, photos, smiles, and donkey snuggles

Our donkeys remain under the supervision of experienced handlers throughout the experience, and we work directly with venues when needed to coordinate logistics, insurance documentation, and event requirements.
