Bar Pa Tea

Bar Pa Tea is a strong pick for couples who want boba at their wedding but want a more upscale experience than a giant DoorDash order. Founder Patrick Yeh grew up in Taiwan and originally built Bar Pa Tea as a brick-and-mortar shop that earned national press for its innovative flavors, before shifting the brand to catering in 2019. He brings a full-on boba bar onsite, with boba that's cooked onsite for optimal texture and freshness, and drink flavors like brown sugar oolong, salted caramel oolong, and passion fruit green tea. Sweetness levels are adjustable, and the menu includes tapioca alternatives along with vegan and gluten-free options. Couples say that the drinks are tasty, and that you definitely should splurge with their soft serve option as well. Note the catering minimum is 100 orders, which makes this a better fit for full-size receptions than smaller events.
