Corey N. says, "I am grateful for the work provided by Gary and his team at Saddle Up Sips and Sweets. I recently hired them for an event, and I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the day of the event, every step was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine enthusiasm. Gary was not only organized and communicative, but also friendly and approachable, making the planning process easy. On event day, he and his team brought great energy that enhanced the celebration. It felt like they weren’t just staff, but were part of the party. The drinks were excellent, nicely presented, and tailored for the guest. Several guests commented on how amazing the bartenders were. Beyond the bartending service, the team also provided exceptional food service. They demonstrated attentiveness and hospitality when it came to serving food. Everything was clean and organized, served promptly, and maintained throughout the evening. I’m happy that Gary and his team ensured the guests were always taken care of. Their commitment to creating a welcoming atmosphere was evident in every aspect of their service. They went above and beyond to make sure that my event was not just successful, but a great experience for the guest. I cannot recommend Saddle Up Sips and Sweets highly enough. Their passion for hospitality, customer satisfaction, and execution make them stand out. If you want a bartending and hospitality service that will enhance your event, please look into Gary and his team. I’d hire them again without question. Thank you, Gary and team, for making my event a wonderful experience. -Nick Corey 2025"See more

Zakaya C. says, "I had the pleasure of Jada working a surprise birthday party for my father and brother. We sat down, came up with a themed menu of drinks to be served, and she even went with me to purchase the alcohol. I did tell her there were going to be a large number of people at the party, but she told me not to worry because she would be able to handle it and that she did. Not only did she handle it, but she handled it with style and class. She danced behind the bar while making drinks. All of the guests enjoyed her drinks and personality. She cleaned up not only her area, but she helped with the rest of the clean up as well. Jada is the best bartender I’ve ever had at any of my parties and it would be an honor if she would bartend the rest of them. Book her!"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.
