About Me

---

With 19+ years of experience in the restaurant industry-- as everything from dishwasher and private chef to bartender and manager-- Leah's passion for hospitality and the art of everything food and beverage bloomed.  In the more recent years, managing a high class music lounge, the dining and events department of a country club, and the operations manager of a catering company, Leah realized she wanted to offer a portable experience combining the high level of service she cultivated working in other establishments with the flexibility and portability she learned in organizing events in both large venues and more intimate settings.  In 2023, a spark of an idea quickly turned into a wildfire for Leah, and Liquor Up was born.

Licensed, insured, and TIPS certified, with many events under her belt, Leah is dedicated to expanding her business, serving the Hudson Valley.

In 2020, the world had shut down due to the pandemic.  Leah was also diagnosed with breast cancer, and is currently in remission as of June 2021.  From this, Leah has learned to be grateful for this second chance she was given and to live life to the fullest.  One of the many ways to honor this second chance is by pursuing her passion as a business owner and to create beautiful memories for her clients by elevating the beverage and hospitality experience at their events.  Liquor Up is Leah's love letter to life-- ever changing, ever growing, evermore.

She would also not have been able to create Liquor up without the huge support of her husband, Vinny, the comfort of her dog, Pepe, and the continuing interest and support of her friends and existing clients.  Thank you <3 and Cheers!
