Event Help and Wait Staff, Bartending

  • 2 hires on Thumbtack
  • Serves Marysville, WA
Genna S. says, "Drea and Jay make an amazing duo! We are so glad we hired them for our event - a birthday party with about 50 adults. They were very responsive and really tailored their bid to our needs - they setup a time to meet to discuss how we envisioned the event and how they could best be of service to determine the bid. They arrived with plenty of time to setup and made sure everything was perfect before the guests arrived. The cocktails were delicious and many of our guests raved about how awesome they were (referring to both the cocktails and also them as people). They really brought our party to the next level and we are very appreciative for their hard work and attention to detail. We would hire Garnish & Gather again in a heartbeat!"See more

Raja T. says, "La Borracha was an absolute highlight of our 30th birthday party! From start to finish, their service was impeccable. The smoked old fashioned with six different types of smoke was a true showstopper – it was definitely the crowd favorite and had everyone talking. Beyond the amazing and unique smoked old fashioneds, the white linen and aperol spritz cocktails were also perfectly crafted and beautifully presented. La Borracha’s presentation was top-notch, adding an extra touch of elegance to our event. They were incredibly professional, arrived exactly on time, and ensured all our guests were happy and well-served throughout the night. As the host, I couldn't have been more pleased with their service and our guests raved about the cocktails. We would absolutely hire La Borracha again for future events and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and professional bartender who can elevate their party!"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.
