FAQs

Quick answers. Ask us anything else.

Do you provide the alcohol?

No. You buy it and we mix and pour it. After you book, we give you a shopping list sized to your drinking guests, your hours and your drinks, so you don't overbuy.

What's the difference between the packages?

Who brings what. With Signature Cocktails you bring the alcohol and the mixers. With Signature Cocktails + Mixers, or the Full Bar, you bring only the alcohol. With Bartender Only you bring everything, the bar included. See Costs & budget.

How many signature cocktails do I get?

Two for a wedding, three for any other event, plus beer and wine service.

How many bartenders will I have?

One for every 75 guests. That's what our insurance requires.

How long can you pour?

Three to five hours. Every package includes five.

Is it an open bar?

Always. Your guests don't pay for drinks. A tip jar is out by default.

Where do you serve?

Madera to Visalia: Madera, Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties. The first 20 miles of the round trip are free, and your quote shows the mileage after that.

How do I hold my date?

With a retainer when you sign your contract. It isn't refundable, and it counts toward your total. The balance is due one week before your event.

Do I need a permit?

It depends on your address. We look up the county and city rules for your exact location and tell you what applies, with the source for each rule.

Can I get your insurance for my venue?

Yes. We send you, and your venue, a copy of our insurance and our RBS certification.

When do I need to have everything final?

Your drink picks are due 14 days before your event, and your final guest count 7 days before. Changes after that need our OK, and within 72 hours of your event we can't promise them.

Can I change the contract?

Yes. You can switch packages yourself and the price updates. For anything else, ask and we'll answer. A few terms are fixed, and those show the reason.

Where do I plan my event?

Start here. It takes a few minutes, one question at a time.
