The Tap Truck East San Diego team wants to bring that special touch to every event we are a part of. No matter how large or small the event is, our Bartenders and Servers are eager to bring that Tap truck bar unique flair for your enjoyment.

We love serving all types of events. Although serving unique cold draft beer from our vintage lineup of trucks is our core business, we are more than that. We are your one stop beverage service. We can build a custom solution to provide draft beer, great drinks, in a friendly atmosphere for both large-scale events and small. Tap Truck East San Diego or our stand-alone Mobile Bar service loves a great party and promises to have the highest caliber of staff, selection of beverages, and professionalism to suit any event.

We haven’t forgotten the kids! Tap Truck East San Diego and Beverage Service knows that not every party attendee is over 21 or our kids want to experience a fun drink cocktail. Our soft bars are the perfect solution for throwing an event or party that won’t involve alcohol. Great for afternoon events or laid-back get-togethers, we have everything you need to make any type of event spectacular.

Steve Wedeking - Estate Planning

I focus my practice on helping families with young children protect those children and their wealth through estate planning.

I do this by providing families with the guidance and the support they need to create an estate plan tailored to their family dynamics and assets. 

Put another way, I do estate planning that works and I don't do anything else. 

My wife Jamie and I, and our three kids live in Lakeside and our active members at the Lakeside campus of Skyline Church.

In our spare time, we travel and go off-roading in our early broncos with our friends.
