Rebecca H. says, "I work with Heavenly Spirits Bartending. I bartend for them at a local events in Virginia when they need me. They are professional to work with, very detailed about the events and timely in their responses to any of my questions about the events I am working. They communicate the desires of the client, the cocktails I will be making and provide a custom menu for me to print out for the client. They give me a list of items I will need for the event and reimburse accordingly. They make sure I am taken care of and the client is taken care of. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for any events! They know how to run a business well and make the clients their top priority as well as their bartenders!"See more

Aliya G. says, "Literally the best. My husband and I were preparing for our wedding and we just couldn’t find a good bartender. We were panicking because we didn’t have much more time. Flair Bartending came to the rescue. We couldn’t be more thankful for Nate, Tracy, and their AMAZING team. They were so well organized, responsive, professional, considerate of our budget, for us exactly what we needed, explained everything in great detail and honestly just had our backs. It was so seamless. Best experience we have ever had with a bartending service. I would recommend them to anyone. Seriously y’all they are the best! Thank y’all so much! You have absolutely no idea how much my husband and I appreciate you!! 😊"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.
