Services And Pricing
Standard Rate
The standard rate is $50 an hour, needing at least 30 minutes before start to prep fruit, the area, gather any needed ice, supplies, etc. Assuming there will be a minimum of an hour to clean up as well. I will make sure to keep everything stocked and ready. I will make rounds throughout the event to check on guests and clean up as needed, and then about 30 minutes before the scheduled end, I will start making rounds to gather any glass that needs cleaning or plastic that needs disposing to make sure the host doesn’t need to do as much. This rate includes beer, wine, as well as basic cocktails (aka liquor and mixer, no shaking required).
$50/hour
Premium Rate
The premium rate is $70 an hour and includes all the above as well as premium cocktails. Want to set up a drink menu and need some pointers on what wines may go best with what is being served for dinner? This is the best option for you! This includes some classic shaken cocktails, or anything off my favorites list listed under the about me page, beer, and wine. We can go over options for how to set up to your preference, such as if everyone will be seated and I’ll go around to take drinks to and from their seat, or if it’s more of a mingle, I can set up somewhere people can come up and grab drinks in the set area.
$70/hour
No Worries Rate
The no-worries rate is $100 an hour and includes all previously mentioned as well as full cleanup. Plates to be washed by hand? Dishwasher loaded? Any rented glassware is put in racks, bagged up, and left in a specified area for pick up the next day. I think this is the preferred package for you. We can go over a wine menu, some beers, as well as a full cocktail list, including a NA option, as well as a specified dessert drink. All cleanup will be done by me, so table clearing between courses, pickup of drink glasses and disposable cups, doing the dishes, cleaning the area after all have gone, etc.
$100/hour
Bartenders Favorites
These are a few of my signature cocktails offered in my premium and no-worries rates.
The Essentials
DurationMost events go for at least 3 hours; if your event is shorter than that, we can work out something other than our listed services.
Tips; I will not be including gratuity on any of my services, as I believe it is optional; however, a tip jar will be placed out at most events. If you do not want guests to feel obligated, we can work out gratuity prior to the event.
Conduct; I pride myself on being a happy-go-lucky person, and I believe all should be treated as they want to be treated. If I feel a guest is being rude, I will immediately bring it to the attention of the host, but overall, if you want a good time, I love giving it. Let’s all just have a great time together!
Supplies
What Supplies I Bring
At a base level, I will always bring my equipment, aka my smile. On top of that, I will bring anything required by the package. This could include pour spouts, wine bottle openers, shaker tins, fine strainers, bar spoons, ice scoops, cutting boards, knives, citrus peelers, trash bags, drink lists, cut fruit containers, coolers for ice, tables for the setup of a bar area, tip jars, napkins, cocktail straws, specialty syrups, etc.
Timeline
30 Minutes Prior
I will arrive 30 minutes to 1 hour before the event starts to set up. Putting any liquor, wine, or beer on display; setting up ice; making sure white wine and beer are cold; putting pour spouts on liquor bottles; helping set up anything else as needed.
Start Time
I’ll make sure my area is well set up and all drinks available are on display in some way. I’ll make sure to answer questions within my powers and take on the first rush of the event as all attendees trickle in.
During The Event
If there is any downtime/lull in between a rush, I will go around the event to pick up any empty drinks, pour wine/beer as needed, check on the hosts, and ensure the event is going smoothly.
1 Hour Before End
I’ll start breaking down what I can, i.e., washing anything that needs to be washed on my part (glass/plastic holding cut fruit, cutting boards, knives, pour spouts, shaker tins, bar spoons, bar strainers). The event will still be getting service, as the guests come above all else. Just making the cleanup process smoother.
Last Call
If there is a prior event hard end, such as if a wedding venue has a hard stop time, I will do the last call 15 minutes prior and start closing up liquor bottles, putting stoppers in any open wine bottles, and boxing up leftover wine/beer/liquor. Throwing out any fruit, plastic drinkware, or anything that goes into trash/recycling. Guests will gently be encouraged to drink water, leftover wine, beer, or simple drinks. I’ll take out any full trash/recycling, put up any rented glassware in its assigned racks, and bag said glassware up.
End Of Night
This is where I will go over any cleanup with the host/ assigned person in charge and make sure nothing else needs to be done before leaving. I will always make sure to intercept the hosts and wish farewells before leaving if possible.
