Everything You Want to Know About a Beverage Burro!

---

There's no difference. “Ass” was the original name for a donkey. For many years, "ass" and "she-ass" were completely normal and non-vulgar terms that people used to describe their pack animals.

"Burro" is just the Spanish, Portuguese, or Mexican word for donkey.

Fill out a Booking Form under the Services Tab, or you can contact us via phone/text at (931) 307-0766 or the contact page here on our website. We do require a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is to be paid 30 days prior to your event date.

You can be assured on the day of your event, your beverage burro will arrive 45 minutes to an hour prior to the designated start time to make sure we are ready and waiting to greet all your guests and set the mood for a fun celebration. Prior to the start time, your burro handler will reach out and communicate with the venue staff about the location of the beverages and ice. In addition, 1-2 friendly handlers will accompany the burro to assist with beverages, photos, and any questions your guest may have. Your burro will be clean, accessorized, dressed to impress, and ready to party.

It is a good practice to inform the event venue to get approval for all your vendors attending, including the Beverage Burro. Having an ample parking space for truck and trailer is the responsibility of the client and Tiney Hiney Beverage Burros LLC will not be held responsible for being late if parking cannot be procured. 

We do not provide or sell alcohol or any type of beverage. The venue or client provides all beverages or goods, and the donkey simply transports them.

Yes! Our donkeys are used to having their photos taken. They love to photo-bomb also! 

These adorable donkeys not only deliver refreshments but also LOVE to pose for selfies! Your guests will remember this unique experience for years to come.

Don't worry about a mess; they rarely create a concern, but just in case, they are accessorized with a tactful donkey diaper “bun-bag” that catches and contains the necessities, very rarely making a mess. But we cannot guarantee they will not urinate, this is why we request the burros not be in doors for more than an hour without a break.

Generally speaking, donkeys can pull about twice their body weight across flat, even ground. As for what they can withstand on their back, if we stick to the standard, a burro should carry no more than 20%-25% of their body weight. Here at Tiney Hiney Beverage Burros, LLC, we like to keep it under that and limit the load to around 20–30 pounds (10–15 beers with ice on each side with ice). Our donkeys have been used as unique transportation to distribute things from water bottles, beer, coozies, tequila, party favors and marketing materials. If it is not too heavy, we can get as creative as you would like.

We provide everything needed for the Burro. This includes the flowers, baskets and signage. Flowers can be coordinated to match the colors or theme of the wedding. If you would like something customized, please ask.

We DO NOT provide alcohol, beverages, goodies or ice for the event. It is the responsibility of the venue or client to arrange for these items, and we ask that they be easily accessible to the handler and donkey for restocking.

Yes, we are insured with an "Equine Commercial" Liability Policy, "Host Liquor" Liability Policy and a TN Server Permit. 

Most all of us are show donkeys & horses, Mom takes us to shows to compete and earn points, ribbons and some money.  Some of us pull small carts. We do alot of local parades where swe get all dressed up.  When we're not in the show ring, we hang out in the pasture and play; sometimes mom makes us practice which isn't much fun but we can show her what "smart asses" we are.
