What are your bartenders like?
We pride ourselves on having selected a beautifully diverse roster of amazing humans to serve your most special events. Each one brings their unique personality and style and all work within our credo, “People will never forget how you made them feel”. They are professional and fun, the great reviews we receive are a testament to this
How many bartenders will I need for my event?
The industry standard recommends one bartender for every 50-75 guests when serving beer, wine, and mixed drinks or one bartender for every 75-120 guests for beer and wine service. We recommend one bartender for every 20-40 guests when serving craft cocktails
How much time does it take to set up and break down a bar?
It typically takes a minimum of one and a half hours to get the bar set up efficiently and your drinks cold. This is, however, dependent upon the event. Having more than one bar or managing glassware for a large event will require more time to set up. Breakdown typically takes anywhere between 30 minutes and one hour

Do your services cost more than a bartending package add-on from a caterer or other multi-service company?
Our market research indicates that our pricing is extremely competitive. What we do know is this: we have chosen one service to specialize in and to do it extremely well—bar services. Our consistent 5-star reviews speak to our expertise and our integrity. We are laser-focused on getting our clients the most detailed bar services possible because we understand that the bar is often a focal point of an event. And we are quite selective when hiring our bartending staff, and we also compensate them well, ensuring consistency and continued integrity
Can I add any services? Yes! You can add on such items as a recommended shopping list, a custom framed menu, cups, glassware rentals, ice delivery, and other elevated add ons
If I add a recommended shopping list, when will I receive the shopping list? After booking with us, the next step is to send you a questionnaire so that we can gather information about the specifics of your event. This will let us know what you’d like for us to serve and who your guests are so that we can craft as accurate a shopping list as possible. For larger events like weddings, we like to have this conversation about two months out - this gives enough time for you to get an accurate guest count and decide on your drink choices (which we are happy to help with) while still giving you enough time to place the order with the retailer of your choice. Please note that our shopping list is a guide, we cannot precisely predict how much your guests will drink. It is our feeling (and our clients agree) that it’s better to have leftovers that you can use later or return than it is to run out of alcohol at your event
Can you quote me for exactly what I need so that I don’t have to think about it?
Absolutely! You give us the information about your event and we will create a proposal that is just right for you
Do you offer coffee or tea service?
No, we do not offer coffee or tea service at this time
Do you do tastings?
Yes, we can do tastings on select Tuesday, Wednesdays ot Thursday evenings for a fee of $250. This includes samples of four signature cocktails. The fee covers the bartender's time and cocktail ingredients and does not go toward the booking fee
Do you charge sales tax? We charge sales tax on applicable rental items and some resale items. There is no sales tax on our service items
What other fees can I expect?
We charge an hourly rate for the bartender’s travel time. We also charge an “event coordination fee” for the time spent planning for your event, packing for it, washing up equipment, etc. We spend many hours creating the perfect events for our clients, which is part of why we continue to garner such amazing reviews
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we require a 35% deposit upfront to secure the booking
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes, you may pay securely through your online event portal, or you can send a check by mail. Our services are not confirmed until we receive your deposit
What happens after booking?
After we have received your deposit, you will be officially on our calendar and the planning process will begin. If your event or wedding is several months out, we will inform you that we will reach out to you closer to your date (usually 2 months prior) to send the questionnaire. This questionnaire will allow us to fill in all the blanks about your event and ultimately determine the best strategy for it. Please keep in mind that many events have variables that will alter during the life-cycle of the planning process which may adjust arrival and departure times, equipment needs, and/or the number of bartenders needed, which may, in turn, adjust your quote. And we are always happy to jump on a call to discuss specifics
Do you do last-minute bookings? No. We need at least two weeks from your event to be able to staff and plan for your event
