FAQs: All About Our Bartending Services
1. Can I book bartenders for a small gathering?
Absolutely! We can handle even the coziest get-togethers. Each of our bartenders can serve anywhere from 1 to 60 guests.
2. How do you handle drink tickets?
We’re all set to offer drink tickets right at the bar. We do tend to favor cash transactions, but we’re flexible to accommodate your specific needs. If you require a card terminal or a code scanner for cashless payments, feel free to inquire about alternative payment options. We’ll make the necessary arrangements to assist you.
3. What’s the meal arrangement for your team at events?
Staff meals are usually arranged by the couple or client who has booked our services. No separate dining area is required, as our team conveniently dines behind the bar. If multiple team members are present, we take turns to ensure continuous service for your guests.
4. Is it possible to reuse our glassware during the event?
For hygiene purposes, we always serve drinks in fresh glasses. However, we do provide biodegradable glasses – a great switch if you’re starting with glassware.
5. Do you supply alcohol for events?
We focus on serving! While we don’t provide the alcohol, we’ll gladly send over a list of recommended beverages to simplify your shopping.
6. Should I specify the exact number of guests when ordering essentials?
For the A La Carte Package, it’s best to provide the total guest count to ensure we’re stocked for the entire event.
7. What if my requirements change or increase?
You can easily adjust your guest count in the A La Carte items. Or send us an email and we’ll help you tailor the supplies to your needs.
8. Not sure about what you need for the event?
No worries! We’re always here to guide you! After checking your date availability, we can schedule a call to discuss your needs.
9. What about cooler rentals?
If you need easy access to chilled drinks, especially if the refrigeration is distant from the bar, our cooler rentals are the perfect solution.
10. What does Mixie (mobile bar) require for operation?
Just a dedicated standard power outlet. Ensure it’s solely for the mobile bar to avoid any interruptions.
11. Can we customize the drink menu?
Yes! Our team will collaborate with you to craft a beverage list that resonates with your event’s theme and guest preferences.
Every event, big or small, deserves a touch of magic and a splash of sparkle. With our bartending services, you’re not just investing in a drink service, but an experience. From the first click on our ‘Get a Quote‘ page to the last clink of glasses at your event, we’re committed to making your celebration one to remember.
So, raise your glass and let’s create moments that last a lifetime. Cheers!
