Whether you’re dreaming up specialty cocktails and bourbon tasting bars, have your eyes set on a unique draft beer station, or just want standard bar offerings, we can accommodate just about anything you can think of when it comes to beverages. We focus on fresh ingredients, premium products, embracing the details, professionalism, and extraordinary customer service, and know you and your guests will notice and appreciate these qualities in our products and services. Corkx is A Full Service Bartending Company A full service bartending service will typically include a variety of bar packages for you to choose from in different price points, depending on the formality of your event and the requirements of your venue. Their bartending staff will likely be comprised of bartenders, bar backs (additional labor for retrieving ice, extra cases or liquor, etc), and service staff. The bartenders pretty much stay behind the bar all night, the bar backs do the less fancy work (refill bar ice, retrieve more wine bottles from the back, empty trash, etc), and the service staff serves the guests at the tables, removes empty and discarded glasses, passes champagne, and cleans up after guests. A full service bartending service usually arrives about 1 – 2 hours before bar services begin, to make sure that the beer, wine, and liquor are iced down and ready for service, that the bar is set up with all of the proper glassware, and that everything is set and ready to go to serve your guests when they arrive. They stay throughout the event and often provide final clean up of all bar items and glassware. We are not just Bartenders (just the service) When hiring bartenders for bartending labor alone, the bartender(s) will usually arrive about 15 – 30 minutes before guests are set to arrive. In most cases, you will be responsible for having the bar set up with glassware, drinks on ice, and all utensils prepared and ready for your bartender’s arrival. They would provide the bartending service for a set amount of hours and then they leave. Clean up throughout the event and at the end of the event is typically not included when you hire individual bartenders for labor only. Questions you should ask when hiring bartenders even if its not Corkx Bartending, we like to think there is a industry standard, and if not, we are the industry standard and some. 1. Are they insured? This is really important, as not all bartenders are! Corkx and your event are covered, with a $1,000,000 certificate of insurance or liability policy sent to you shortly after booking. What do they provide? It’s important to have your bartending service list exactly what they are providing, down to the quantities. Otherwise, there will be assumptions made by both parties as to who is providing what and it’s never fun to be mistaken on a wedding day. A professional will have no problem listing exactly what is included. Corkx provides on all quotes: Condiments (Napkins ,straws, etc.…) Ice Coolers Garnish (fruit) 9oz plastic clear plastic cups 12oz if requested All Professional Bartending Tools Whats Corkx throws in that sets us apart from those other guys: Infused Strawberries Infused Water Station or Sangria Station (alcohol not included) Set # of wine glasses Do they provide clean up throughout the event, like removing empty and discarded glassware? Corkx Does upon request , usually bringing a bar back that keep tables and area neat. Not all companies provide this service, so you may be left with tables full of glasses at the end of the night, that someone will have to clean up before you can leave. Emptying tables full of glasses in your wedding dress is no way to end a night! Do they provide trash removal at end of the night? A lot of venues will require that all trash be removed from the premises at the end of the night and not all bartenders are equipped or prepared to take 5 – 6 industrial sized bags of glass bottles with them! Corkx Does! (even once taking it home with us until the landfill opened the next day) What non alcoholic options will your bartender provide? Water decanters or bottles, sodas, tea, coffee? A Corkx Infused Water station at no charge! Will they help you with suggestions on quantities and types of alcohol to order? Absolutely, Corkx will help guide during your ordering even going shopping for you. Will they prepare your alcohol order for you? Or is this something that you will be responsible for? Yes and No Corkx wants you to be stress free, let us worry about stuff that we do. We can actually get most spirits at a discount and pass the savings to you. What if we don’t drink. Do we have to serve alcohol at our wedding? No, you do not! While it is seen as more proper to have at least wine available to guests during dinner, you can do whatever you choose. If you’re not serving alcohol, you may love our mocktails. Our Non alcoholic classy cocktails. 🧾Throughout the planning process, our attention to details ensures that from the first conversation, to the products we place in front of you, to the hospitality of our staff, your event will be exactly what you envisioned.

Our experience with Corkx was great. They were very friendly, very helpful, and very easy to communicate with, they were by far the most reasonably priced of all the services we used for the wedding, and the bar service itself was excellent. They even brought along a few really interesting drinks just as a sort of personal touch at no extra charge, which I only learned about when several guests came up to me to say they were delicious and I had to try them. And on top of all that, the best man was best friends with the bartenders by the end of the reception. Easy five stars.

Rich and his staff were our bartenders for my birthday party/business appreciation event in Ladson, SC in July. They exceeded my expectations. They provided exceptional customer service along with a speciality drink. The guests loved it and so did I. I would most definitely recommend them and will use them again for any future events that I have. Thank you Rich for making my event so special.
