Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend securing your date as soon as your venue is confirmed. Premium weekends fill fast—often months in advance—because we limit bookings to maintain our high standard of service. If your date is available, a small deposit locks it in.

We serve most of Southern California, from Orange County to Los Angeles and surrounding areas. If your event is outside this radius, we can often accommodate with a modest travel fee.

Once you reach out, we'll confirm availability, send a quote, and design your drink experience together. From there, you relax—we manage setup, service, and cleanup so the bar is one part of your event that simply works.

If our schedule allows, absolutely. We keep extra staff on standby for special situations, so we can often step in when another vendor cancels or plans shift.

Yes. A 25% deposit reserves your date and covers your initial cocktail consultation, menu design, and dedicated event planning. This ensures your bartending team is locked in and your bar experience is customized—not an afterthought.

Deposits are non-refundable but transferable—so if your event moves, your investment stays protected. We know life happens, and we'll always work with you on rescheduling.

Either option works. We can serve what you provide or source everything through our licensed suppliers for a seamless, all-inclusive experience. Most hosts prefer the latter—it's one less errand before the big day.

Professional bartenders who treat your guests like VIPs, complete bar setup and styling, premium mixers and garnishes, fresh ice, all tools and equipment, and thorough cleanup. We've served over 500 events across Southern California—every detail from the first pour to the final polish is handled with meticulous care.

Typical service runs four hours from guest arrival, with flexibility based on your schedule. We can extend as needed—because great events shouldn't end when the drinks are still flowing.

Yes. We offer elegant glassware and premium disposable options. We'll help you choose what fits your guest count, style, and venue rules.

We arrive early to stage and style the bar before guests arrive, and we leave your space spotless when the night's over. You never see the work—only the result.

Every team member holds current TIPS or ServSafe Alcohol certification and is trained in responsible service. We carry $2 million in liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. You get professionally trained mixologists who know how to read a room, manage service flow, and handle any situation with grace—not just someone who can pour drinks.

That's where we shine. We start with a consultation about your event theme, favorite flavors, and colors. Then we craft 2-3 signature cocktails designed specifically for your celebration—complete with creative names that tell your story. Think "The Blushing Bride" with elderflower and rosé, or "Midnight in Manhattan" with activated charcoal for a dramatic black cocktail. Every recipe is tested beforehand and designed to be both delicious and Instagram-worthy.

Of course. We create zero-proof cocktails and mocktails just as thoughtful and beautiful as the originals. No guest feels left out.

Absolutely—and this is what transforms a bar into an experience. Smoked cocktails with tableside theatrics, drinks served in hollowed fruit, dry ice fog effects, edible flower garnishes, color-changing cocktails, frozen cocktail machines, and custom ice molds with your initials. We've created tiki bars for tropical parties, speakeasy setups for Gatsby themes, and champagne walls for elegant soirées. If you can dream it, we can pour it.

Absolutely. From glassware tint to garnish hues, we design bars that complement your décor—not clash with it.

We handle that too. Our service adapts to your preferences, ensuring the same level of polish and hospitality.

Most events range from $800-$2,500 depending on guest count, service hours, and bar design. We create custom quotes because your celebration deserves more than cookie-cutter pricing. A typical 50-guest event with signature cocktails and premium service starts around $1,200—but we'll design the perfect package for your budget and vision.

Each tier reflects presentation, staffing, and customization level. Whether you need simple service or a full luxury setup, you choose the atmosphere that fits your event.

Yes—glassware upgrades, décor styling, specialty ice, extended service hours, additional bartenders, and cocktail consultations. We'll tailor every detail to your vision.

Gratuity is not included but can be pre-added for convenience. Most hosts prefer to include it so they can focus on their guests instead of tips.

Yes—from boutique wineries to backyard patios to five-star hotel ballrooms. We've worked everywhere in Southern California and have established relationships with hundreds of venues. We know which locations need generators, which prefer specific glassware, and which coordinators we'll be working alongside. If your venue allows outside vendors, we've likely already served there (or somewhere just like it).

Just access to power, shade (for outdoor events), and space for the bar. We handle the rest.

Definitely. We specialize in outdoor celebrations and bring weather-ready equipment to keep service running smoothly.

Always. We typically connect with your planner, caterer, and venue coordinator before your event to align on timing, setup logistics, and service flow. For example, we'll time cocktail service to complement appetizers, coordinate with the DJ for toast timing, and work with photographers to stage the bar for perfect shots. Your vendors become our team—because the best events happen when everyone's working from the same playbook.
