Booking basics
Mobile bartenders book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want a full package or dry hire. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

From the reviews
I cannot say enough great things about Always the Bartender, Never the Bride! I hired them for my wedding on May 2nd and the service was excellent. We had 130 guests total but Cheryl and Brittany never had a long line of guests waiting for service. They were quick, friendly, and very knowledgeable of special requests.
I would highly recommend Always the Bartender, Never the Bride to anyone who asked! From a clean and concise contract to Cheryl being highly communicative and responsive to any/all my requests, let me tell you, they did not disappoint!
From beginning to end Cheryl and her bartending team were fantastic! Cheryl provided 3 bartenders for our son's wedding we hosted at our home in Sep '24. She was super helpful advising us on the do's and don'ts of hosting open bars (we had 3 set up) and what alcohol to purchase.
Cheryl is amazing! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cheryl years ago and her energy is unmatchable! We chose Cheryl to be our bartender for our wedding back in October and she went above and beyond. She made cute little mock tails for the kids at the wedding without me even asking!!
Booking Always the Bartender, Never the Bride for a wedding
Weddings come up for Always the Bartender, Never the Bride — confirmed on their own site, so they'll know the rhythm of the day: cocktail hour hits all at once, then the bar settles into a steady hum until the last dance. Two numbers get your quote right. First, the staffing math: the standard rule is one bartender per 50–75 guests — so a 150-guest wedding usually means two to three bartenders, and going thin here is the classic cocktail-hour line mistake. Second, drinks per guest: plan on roughly two drinks in the first hour and one per hour after; a dry-hire bartender can turn that into an exact shopping list for your headcount so nothing runs out and nothing goes back to the store.
