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.

While ass is interchangeable with donkey, "jackass" refers specifically to a male donkey. This derives from the male donkey's nickname "jack" paired with the original donkey terminology "ass." Female donkeys are called "jennies" or "jennets," but a female ready to breed is known as a "broodmare."

You can contact us via phone (480-822-0025) or the contact page on our website. We do require a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is to be paid 30 days prior to our event date.

You can be assured on the day of your event your beer 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 guest. Prior to the start time your burro handler will reach out and communicate with the venue staff for 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.

Our donkeys have attended events all over the Valley at resorts, restaurants, event venues, you name it and they have been welcomed with open arms. It is a good practice to inform the event venue prior to get approval for all your vendors attending, including the Beer Burro.

We do not sell alcohol. The venue or client provides all beverages.

Yes! Our donkeys are used to having their photos taken.

Our donkeys go everywhere - hotels, restaurants, you name it. 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).

We provide everything needed for the Burro. This includes the flowers and signage. Flowers can be coordinated to match the colors or theme of the wedding. We do offer customized signage.

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 the 20%-25% of their body weight. Here at BeerBurro.com we like to keep it under that and limit the load to around 30-40 pounds (12-14 beers with ice on each side). Our donkeys have been used as unique transportation to distribute things from water bottles, wine barrels, beer, tequila to party favors and marketing materials. If not too heavy, we can get as creative as you would like.
