FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our bartending service starts at $300 for intimate events of 10–25 guests and scales with guest count, service time, staffing, menu complexity, travel, parking, rentals, and supply needs. The client or venue provides the alcohol; Cocktails at Sunset provides bartending service and planning. Additional service time or an additional bartender is $60 per hour, and a barback is $40 per hour. Added staffing has a three-hour minimum. Mixers, garnishes, ice, cups, a portable bar, and custom menus can be added to your quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a quick consultation about your date, location, guest count, service hours, event type, venue rules, and the atmosphere you want. Then we recommend staffing, help shape the cocktail and zero-proof menu, clarify what you will provide, and send a clear customized quote. Once approved, we coordinate the final details, arrive prepared for setup, serve your guests professionally, and handle the bar through last call.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our service is backed by more than five years of hands-on bartending experience, including drink preparation, guest service, bar setup and breakdown, menu planning, responsible service practices, and event coordination. We continue refining our techniques and planning systems so each event is organized, polished, and welcoming.
