FAQ

Frequently askedquestions

Pricing & packages

01How is my event priced?

We build quotes around the guest count, length of service, venue, menu, and equipment or staffing needs. A brief conversation helps us put together a clear proposal for your specific event.

02Who purchases the alcohol?

For most bookings, the host purchases the alcohol. We can prepare a suggested shopping list after the drink menu is confirmed. Other arrangements may be possible only when permitted by applicable rules and licensing.

03What comes with a full-service package?

Depending on your agreement, your package may cover bartenders, bar tools, glassware, mixers, garnishes, and ice. Alcohol is usually separate. Your proposal will list exactly what is included.

04Can I use supplies I already have?

Yes. If you prefer to provide the liquor, mixers, cups, or other items, we can quote the staffing and remaining services you need.

Staffing & service

05How much bar staff should I plan for?

A useful starting point is about one bartender per 50 guests. The best number also depends on your menu, service style, and how busy the bar is expected to be.

06Can you arrange servers or other event staff?

Additional hosts, servers, bussers, and runners may be available. Tell us which roles you need, and we can include the options in your proposal.

07Do you provide event security?

We do not directly provide security personnel. We may be able to refer you to independent providers, with arrangements made separately.

08Do you have insurance?

Yes. Our business carries general liability and liquor liability coverage. Let us know if your venue needs specific insurance documents so we can review the request.

Venues & scheduling

09Can you serve drinks outdoors?

Yes, where the location and event rules allow it. We can discuss a suitable bar setup for a yard, rooftop, garden, or outdoor venue.

10What if there is no sink near the bar?

Nearby running water is helpful for efficient service and cleaning. If it is unavailable, ask us about mobile setup options and any related equipment or transport costs.

11Can you work in a park or other public location?

Potentially, provided the location allows the event and all required permissions, permits, and alcohol-service rules are satisfied.

12When should I reserve my date?

You may inquire as far as two years ahead. Popular weekends and holiday dates tend to book quickly, so earlier planning is encouraged.

13Can you take a booking on short notice?

We welcome urgent requests and may be able to staff an event on the same day. Availability will depend on the date, location, and services required.

14Which areas do you travel to?

Our usual service area covers the five NYC boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Northern New Jersey, the Hamptons, and nearby communities. Ask about destinations farther away.

Payments & event changes

15What payment secures my booking?

Events priced at $10,000 or less are paid in full at booking. For events above $10,000, a 50% deposit secures the date, with the balance due at least 48 hours before service begins.

16Which payment options are available?

We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, Venmo, and Zelle. Credit-card payments carry a 4% processing charge.

17Are tips part of the quoted price?

No. Gratuity is optional and not included. Guests or hosts may tip staff directly or arrange to add a tip to the final payment.

18Can we keep the bar open longer?

If the team is available, extra service time can be added at the original hourly rate. Payment for the extension is due before the additional service starts.

Customization & contact

Our usual look is all black. If your event calls for a particular style, share your preferences in advance and we will discuss what can be accommodated.

We may be able to connect you with independent entertainers, such as DJs, dancers, or magicians. Those services are arranged separately.
