FAQs
Does the package I purchase determine the bartender i’ll get?
1
Nope! Every event receives the same high level of service regardless of package. Your package simply determines what we provide versus what you’ll supply. Our higher-tier packages are designed for added convenience—not upgraded staff.
Does pricing change depending on the type of event I’m having?
2
No—our pricing remains consistent whether you’re booking a wedding, birthday, corporate event, or private party. We believe in transparent, straightforward pricing for every client.
Do You serve pre-batched drinks?
3
We don’t. Every drink is made fresh to order on-site. We believe bartending is part of the experience, and your guests deserve quality, consistency, and transparency in every pour. This also helps reduce waste and ensures safe, controlled alcohol service.
Do you offer mocktail or non-alcoholic options?
4
Yes! We love creating elevated mocktail experiences. Whether you want a fully non-alcoholic bar or just a few specialty mocktails added to your menu, we’ve got you covered.
