Nina K. says, "I used Thumbtack to find a bartender and servers for the party that I had at the end of August. I had submitted my request late at night and I was pleasantly surprised that I received a text from Leo within minutes of my inquiry with all the details I needed. Out of all the responses I received, hers was the most thorough and helpful, which made my decision easy — and it was the right one! She provided 2 servers and a bartender for my event. They were all great, punctual, helpful and a pleasure to work with, as was Leo. She was very responsive to all my questions and created a beautiful bar menu that I was so impressed by. She also texted me everything I needed to get and addressed all my questions and requests. She also gave me a great price for all the services I received. Leo, you and your team were a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much for all your help with my event."See more

Cheryl P. says, "Dan was wonderful from the start. His responsiveness was incredible throughout the entire planning of the event. The week before, he was in touch whether it was asking questions to make sure my event went flawlessly to assuring me that any questions or concerns I had were answered by him. He was right on time along with his team. He went over the timeline for my expectations of the party and then politely took over and ran things so very smoothly. His staff were just as professional and courteous. The attendees at the party commented how nice and accommodating the servers were. The bartender, Dottie, was on point! We’ve had other events with other bartenders but none as awesome as she was. Carla seemed to know exactly what I needed to accomplish for the party, she swooped in and took charge in the kitchen, she was fantastic! Priscilla was another asset at the event. Every time I looked, there she was with another tray of appetizers or a bag of ice, it was awesome! My goal was to be able to enjoy my husbands 50th and not worry about running around like a crazy person. I accomplished exactly that thanks to Dan, Carla, Dottie and Priscilla. I will absolutely be using Dan’s company again. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his team for any event you’re having."See more

Monica G. says, "Chef Shi was heaven sent. Three days before my father’s 80th birthday dinner, I decided I wanted to do something different then take him to a restaurant and got the idea of hiring a chef. I was truly blessed to have been matched with Chef Shi! From the beginning she was extremely kind and professional! She was quick to put something together for the type of dinner I was looking for and provided several options to meet all my guests needs. The dinner was a surprise to my father who is an extremely picky eater, but Chef Shi performed magic and my father LOVED her food and even asked to get a 2nd serving. The entire menu/food was exquisite. Everything was perfect and delicious. We had salmon, chicken, mashed potatoes, broccolini and crepes, and every single thing was just “sumptuous”! Chef Shi will be our go to for any special event going forward ♥️"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to hire a bartender for a private party?

Hiring a bartender for a private party typically costs between $270 and $390 in total. On an hourly basis, expect to pay at least $40 to $60 per hour, as well as a flat fee. How much you’ll pay, however, depends on the time of year or day, the size of the party and other factors. Get in touch with a few bartenders near you and request a free estimate — it’s the only way to get an accurate idea of how much private bartending services will cost you.

Check out “How much does it cost to hire a bartender?” to learn more about the cost factors.

Do bartenders need to be licensed?

Certain counties, cities and states may require licensing. Check your local government’s regulations before starting your search.

In many cases, you might want to choose a bartender who has a license and/or certification. If you’re considering hiring a bartender for an upcoming event or a special occasional, check their online profiles to find out what credentials they have. If you can’t find the information online, don’t hesitate to ask them directly when requesting to receive free estimates.

How do I find a good bartender?

Put some time on your calendar to research and compare top-rated bartenders near you online. Start by looking at their ratings and services. For example, some bartending services will provide a waitstaff, glassware, ice, coolers, food and more.

Next, look at their photos of past events and read the customer reviews. Find feedback on the bartenders’ services. Did they offer fair pricing? Did they show up on time to set up? Did they bring all of the appropriate drinks, cups, supplies and decorations? Did they interact politely with the party guests and provide a pleasant overall experience? And did they do the agreed-upon cleanup afterward?

Narrow down your top choices, and start contacting the bartenders. Ask for cost estimates for your event, and tell them how many people will be attending, what type of event it is and what services you require. You should also ask them questions about their experience.

Bartenders may need a license in your state, county or city to work at a private party. Make sure they’re properly certified before you hire anyone.
