Holly D. says, "Working with Ashley was a total breeze! She is so professional, kind, thoughtful, on top of stuff, and thinks 3 steps ahead. She saved the day on my event by coming up with solutions for a rain back up and helping the bartenders and caterers pivot on a dime. She ran my event like a total boss, which allowed me to just enjoy my guests. She goes way above and beyond and you do not even need to manage her. She will manage the event for you seamlessly. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone!"See more

Samantha K. says, "Linda was the perfect bartender for our wedding! She was punctual and worked quickly and efficiently, even when our best man came to her with a surprise request for shots....for almost every single person at the reception. Linda was a great communicator, and helped us with a shopping list for everything we needed to prepare for the day of. We were turned off by a lot of bartenders who were being salesmen about their services and talking themselves up to get our business. Linda was down to earth and honest, and we really appreciated that. Thank you, Linda!"See more

Michael G. says, "Brock knocked it out the park for our wedding! We'd highly recommend him to anyone. He brought a full bartending experience to a pretty remote/rural location for a wedding of around 100 people. Our families and friends loved hanging out with Brock and his crew. A handful of people even commented during the wedding "that guy [Brock] is incredibly friendly". Brock and his crew did a great job keeping things flowing without anyone getting out of hand. He was also an exceptional communicator with us as well as the place in which we bought the alcohol from, all before, during and after the wedding. Overall a stand-up guy. If we throw another large party we would 100% hire him again. Thank you Brock for making our stressful (and special) day easy! ~Michael & Suzanne"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.
