Alandis I. says, "Over a week later and people are still talking about how wonderful my mixologist was. If you are searching for a mixologist that is attentive, professional and provides drinks that are sure to be a hit with all your guests - look no further! From our initial conversation, Simply Bartending was responsive to my needs. My event had a theme and when I requested, signature drinks to align with theme, Simply Bartending never hesitated to offer specific options to align with the theme. After narrowing down my options for my signature drinks, Tiona, suggested having a tasting to confirm the final selection. The moment she arrived to the tasting and began to pour the selection of signature drink options, I knew she was a professional and I made the right choice. On the day of the event, Simply Bartenders arrived promptly at the time requested and although we had roughly 100 guests, she took care of each of my guests with ease. Each signature drink made exactly as we agreed. Including dry ice and garnishes. Book with Simply Bartending today! You will NOT be disappointed."See more

Tsala H. says, "I recently had the pleasure of hiring Sonni, the talented mixologist behind "The Perfect Pour," for a private event at my home, and I am beyond impressed with the exceptional service she provided. Sonni not only met, but exceeded my expectations, going above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Her skills behind the bar were truly extraordinary, and my guests couldn't stop raving about the delightful drinks she crafted. Sonni's warm and infectious personality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. Sonni's dedication to creating a memorable experience was evident in every aspect of her service. She seamlessly blended professionalism with a personal touch, ensuring that each guest felt special. I wholeheartedly recommend Sonni and "The Perfect Pour" for anyone seeking a top-notch bartender who not only delivers exceptional drinks but also brings a contagious energy to the party. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with her, and I'm confident that anyone who hires Sonni will be just as thrilled with the results. Don't be surprised if your friends start trying to snag her for their own events (mine already have) – she's just that good!"See more

Aubrey Stephenson says, "Kim and Robyn were amazing bartenders at my wedding in June 2023. Prior to the wedding day, I was able to talk to Kim on the phone multiple times to plan the menu together and she helped me create the shopping list so that I was able to get everything for the wedding. She was very helpful before the wedding and it made the wedding day a breeze. Kim helped by making the menu to have on display at the bar. Kim also was flexible with the wedding day timeline which reduced stress for me. She was great to work with! Everyone at our wedding loved the drinks, the drinks service, and the favorite drink was the 'mint to be mojito.' I would absolutely recommend SoHo! Thank you Kim and Robyn!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

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.

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.
