Blake T. says, "Tee was amazing!!! Not only was she available for prep of the drink list prior to the party but she went above and beyond to bring fresh ideas to the conversation. Tee was here promptly and her personality was the first thing my partner told me was amazing he knew she would be able to keep the guest talking and wasn’t just a bartender going through the motions. She kept the drinks flowing but also kept the guest smiling with conversation as well as knowledge to what she was serving and what she could offer outside of the drink list open to the guest. She also didn’t leave a minute unused. If she wasn’t serving the guest and it was a slow point of the evening she was bringing unused bottles as well as trash accumulated from guest by the bar. This was shocking as in the past we have gotten bartenders who seem shy or like they were ghost at the party and would stick to only drinks on the menu leaving the guest dissatisfied and leaving early. Tee did not she kept everyone there till the last moment she was on the schedule. We will make sure to bring her in to all future events, as well as tell our friends to reach out when they are in need of a bartender for their events or home parties. We love Cup of Tee Mixology."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.
