FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Transparent Pricing & Statewide Service We operate on a "Dry Hire" model, which is the most cost-effective way to host a bar in Florida. How it works: 1. You provide the alcohol: You purchase the spirits, beer, and wine at retail prices (Total Wine, Costco, etc.). We provide a detailed Shopping List customized for your guest count. 2. We provide the rest: We bring the professional bartenders, tools, coolers, and (depending on the package) the portable bar, mixers, fresh garnishes, cups, and ice. What is included in our quotes: • Service: Certified & Professional Bartenders. • Insurance: $2M General & Liquor Liability Insurance (required by most venues). • Setup/Breakdown: We arrive early to set up and stay late to clean up (included in the price). • Travel: We are based in Port St. Lucie. For events within the Treasure Coast, there is no travel fee. For events in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville, a travel stipend will be included in your custom quote. Booking Policy: To secure your date, we require a signed contract and a deposit. Discounts available for Military, Veterans, and First Responders.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
How We Work: From Quote to "Cheers!" 🥂 Step 1: The Custom Quote Everything starts with your vision. Once you send us your event details (date, location, guest count), we create a transparent, custom proposal. You’ll see exactly what’s included—no hidden fees. Step 2: Securing Your Date Ready to move forward? Great! To lock in your date on our calendar, we require: A signed Service Agreement (Contract). A 50% Deposit to confirm the booking. Once these are done, the date is officially yours! Step 3: The Fun Part – Menu Planning & Shopping List 📝 About 3-4 weeks before the event, we’ll have a consultation (phone or email) to finalize your drink menu. For Cocktails: We help you choose crowd-pleasing signature drinks. The "Shopping List": Since we are a Dry Hire service, we will send you a detailed shopping list telling you exactly what alcohol to buy and how much. No guessing games—you just go to Total Wine or Costco and check the boxes! Step 4: Final Confirmation 14 days before the event, we touch base to confirm the final guest count, timeline, and any venue requirements (like COI insurance certificates). The remaining balance is due at this time. Step 5: Event Day! 🚐💨 We arrive 60–90 minutes early to set up the mobile bar, chill the drinks, and prep garnishes. By the time your first guest arrives, we are ready to pour! After the party, we handle the cleanup of the bar area so you don't have to lift a finger.
