Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of events do you serve?
A: We provide bartending services for endless events, including weddings, private parties, corporate functions, birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, pop-up events, and more. Whether it's an intimate get-together or a large-scale occasion, we tailor our service to fit the vibe and vision of your event.
Q: How much notice is needed to book?
A: The more notice, the better—especially for weddings and larger events. However, we understand the thrill that the spur of the moment brings. Feel free to reach out anytime & we’ll do our best to make it happen.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: We are based in Saint Augustine and proudly serve surrounding areas. If your event is located beyond a 30-mile radius, we are happy to travel and will do our best to accommodate your location. A travel fee of $1 per mile (round-trip) will be added to your final invoice.
Q: Is a deposit required & how do I pay?
A: Yes. A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date on our schedule. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your event to finalize staffing and preparations. We accept payments via Zelle, Square, Venmo, and all major debit/credit cards.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Life happens—we understand. Please notify us as soon as possible if you need to cancel. Retainers are non-refundable, but if already paid in full, 50% of the total payment will be refunded. The non-refundable portion may be applied as a credit toward a future event within 6 months.
Q: Can we customize the drink menu?
A: Absolutely—mixology is our specialty! Whether you’re looking for a few signature cocktails or a full bar with all the classics, we take pride in crafting the perfect menu for your event. Custom drink planning begins once the contract is signed and includes personalized support, menu development, and event coordination.
Q: What time will you arrive for my event?
A: Each package includes one hour of setup and thirty minutes for breakdown. We’ll arrive approximately one hour before your event begins to ensure everything is ready to go on time.
Q: What alcohol is included?
A: Florida law requires mobile bartenders to operate as a “dry hire,” meaning we cannot legally provide or sell alcohol. However, we’ll guide you through the alcohol shopping process with a customized list tailored to your guest count and menu. Once it’s on site, we handle everything—from expert mixing to flawless presentation—ensuring a memorable and stylish beverage experience for your special day.
We provide mixers, garnishes, ice, and a full bar setup, depending on your selected package. All the essentials—minus the alcohol—are taken care of!
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. We carry both general liability and liquor liability insurance. Our bartenders are TIPPS and/or ServSafe-certified to ensure responsible and professional service. Proof of insurance provided upon request, including certificates for venues that require documentation.
Q: Can my event go over the agreed-upon time?
A: We understand that events can run longer than expected. If our schedule permits, we’re happy to extend service. A fee of $75 per hour applies for events with one bartender. For events with additional staff, the $75/hour base rate still applies, plus $50 per hour for each additional team member.
Q: Can you help clean up after our event?
A: Absolutely. We're committed to providing not just service, but a seamless experience. To support your event from start to finish, we offer two tiers of cleanup assistance. [Click here for full details.] If cleanup services are declined during the planning phase but requested onsite, the following rates will apply:
Basic Cleanup Assistance (originally $75/hour) → $150/hour if added day-of
Basic + Additional Cleanup Assistance (originally $150/hour) → $225/hour if added day-of
Q: What is the difference between a service charge & gratuity?
A: The service charge included in your estimate is not a gratuity. If you prefer not to have a tip jar at your event, a 20% gratuity will be added to the final bill to fairly compensate our staff.
