We offer flexible mobile bartending packages designed to fit any type of event — from full-service setups to simple bartender-only options.
Our full-service packages include everything you need for a professional bar experience — except the alcohol — such as certified bartenders, bar tools, cups, napkins, ice, mixers, garnishes, setup and breakdown, and optional add-ons like premium mixers, custom drink menus, and mobile bar setups.
If you're looking for a more budget-friendly or minimalist option, we also offer bartender-only ("no-frills") packages that provide just the certified bartender.
This way, you can choose exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less.
The guide below offers a good starting point, but staffing may vary based on your menu and event flow.
We are a BYOB mobile bartending service. You provide the alcohol, and we provide professional bartenders, bar tools, setup and breakdown, and supplies included in your package. We can also provide a customized shopping list.
Yes. We offer mobile bar rentals and handle setup and breakdown for weddings, corporate events, backyard parties, and private events.
Yes. We can help create custom cocktail menus, including signature drinks for weddings and themed events.
Both options work well for events, and the right choice depends on your guest count, budget, and event style.
Signature drinks are a popular choice for weddings and private events because they streamline service, control costs, and add a personalized touch. Most hosts choose 1–2 cocktails alongside beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options.
An open bar offers guests more variety but typically requires more alcohol, mixers, and bartenders to keep lines moving—especially for larger events.
Many events use a hybrid approach: signature cocktails plus a limited open bar, giving guests flexibility while keeping things efficient.
We recommend booking 8-10 weeks in advance for most events. Weddings and major holidays should be booked at least 3-4 months in advance.
Bottled and canned beer is typically the easiest and most reliable option for events. It allows for faster service, more variety, and any unopened beer can be taken home after the event.
Keg beer can present challenges, including hand pump issues, limited selection, the need to be iced and settled well in advance, and the inability to move the keg once placed. Any leftover beer in a keg is typically wasted.
Both options work well for events, depending on your venue, guest count, and event style.
Glassware offers a more polished look and is often preferred for formal events. Plastic cups are cost-effective, widely accepted by venues, and ideal for large or outdoor events.
Plastic cups do generate more waste than reusable glassware, but they are often the most practical solution for high-volume service.
