The servers and support staff are direct gratuity only.

Can I book a bartender only or do I have to hire a bunch of staff as well?

You can hire just one event bartender – or even just a portable bar if you’d like.

We’ll provide you with whatever you need and we’ll help you make that decision once we know more about your particular event.

There is a 5 hour minimum for all staff.

What time will the staff arrive?

Event staff are scheduled to arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled setup time. This allows time for any unexpected delays like traffic or trouble finding the location.

The tools that the staff bring vary based on position.

Please visit our event staffing page for detailed information.

Who will be working my party?

At the time of booking determines the staff member assigned to your event based on the event location and staff availability.

We may be able to accommodate special requests if booked in advance.

What if I want to supply the bar myself?

We go over the drink list that you would like to have at your event and send you a free shopping list.

Please make sure to have all the stock left at the bar by the time the bartender arrives.

What if I supply the alcohol myself?

A free shopping guide is included with any booking.

This list will break down all the items needed, however, any ingredients that are low or out of stock will be not be the responsibility of the bartender to replenish.

If you choose to provide the alcohol and supplies yourself, please keep this in mind as something as simple as running out of ice can stop the bar from making more drinks until it’s restocked.

A signature drink is a featured cocktail to exemplify the theme or person of the night.

A wedding may have 2 signature drinks named after the bride and groom.

A birthday may have a signature drink that is the birthday boy / girl’s favorite.

We can also make a custom signature drink that you approve and feature at the bar.

Absolutely.

Each bartender has a minimum of 3 years experience and must pass a series of tests before working an event.

Can you create a custom bar menu for our wedding or event?

The drink menu can only be done on a portable bar that is made of plexiglass and we would design a menu for you to approve and then have it printed and mounted on the bar rental.

What other services do you offer?

Cocktail workshop classes are a new form of event entertainment.

Our cocktail catering services offer customized alcohol packages with specialized drinks.

For portable bar rentals, we have rustic wood and plexiglass LED (with customization options) available.
