Common Questions About
Private Party Bartending
What counts as a private party?
Anything you want it to be. Dinner parties, reunions, game-day gatherings, housewarming parties, going-away celebrations, and anything else where you want professional drink service.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
There's no minimum guest count as long as the service minimum on your quote is met. Smaller parties often mean more personalized attention and a more intimate craft cocktail experience.
Can we change the menu after booking?
Yes. We finalize your cocktail menu about one week before the event, so you have plenty of time to adjust based on guest preferences or new ideas.
Do you serve beer and wine too, or just cocktails?
We serve it all. Cocktails, beer, wine, seltzers, and non-alcoholic options. We build your menu around whatever your guests will enjoy most.
Typical guest count: 10–100 guests
