Vidya C. says, "Can’t say enough good things about our bartenders—absolute stars of the night.
 From the moment they arrived, Prat and CJ brought total professionalism, great energy, and serious cocktail skills. They didn’t just serve drinks—they set the tone for the whole party. Every cocktail was perfectly crafted. You could tell they cared about the details, from presentation to taste. Guests kept going back for more and not just for the drinks, but because the vibe behind the bar was just that good. What really stood out? • Their attitude. Friendly, upbeat, and completely unflappable—even in the middle of a packed party. • Their flow. Smooth setup, seamless service, and everything cleaned up like they were never there. • Their presence. Somehow chill and high-energy at the same time. Total pros. If you’re planning an event and want bartenders who actually elevate the experience—not just pour drinks - Prat and CJ are the team to call. They made the night. Would 100% hire them again."See more

Anahlynn R. says, "All Knight Cocktails KILLED it at our wedding! They took our vision seriously and made it exactly how we wanted. They went above and beyond with details we didn’t even know would be added. They designed our cocktail menu (one less thing I had to worry about) and even included our engagement photo to be displayed that we got to keep. The kids loved the spider man sticker they received with their “Spidey” mocktail. The guests LOVED the strawberry soju cocktail, it was a hit! They were patient in planning and designing, although there were some hiccups during communication at the beginning, they were understanding through it all. I would 10000% recommend to anyone looking to hire bartenders for their event. These guys will take it to the next level! Thank you again!!! 💖"See more

Faye M. says, "READ BEFORE BOOKING! I recently booked with Liquid Luxe Mobile Bartending on 12/8/24, and my party is still the talk amongst all my friends and family! The owner, Kasia, was very professional from the beginning of the booking process until the very end, and she was even able to suggest the perfect drinks to match the theme of my event. In addition, I would also like to highlight that the package prices offered by this company are very reasonable, and well worth every penny. Kasia was on time, friendly towards all guests, and her set up was beautiful! I look forward to booking with Liquid Luxe again and I’m so happy I found this company! Thanks"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.
