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.
How they'll run your bar
“We had them for our bar service for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding.”
“Make sure to ask for Pedro and Larry if you want fast service with not waiting!”
Add-ons they offer
“Our signature drink was great.”
From the reviews
We used Apres Bar Co. for our annual fundraiser, Ghoulish Gala at Salisbury House & Gardens in October 2024. We were thrilled with their communication, creativity, and day of coordination and organization. Dewey, Cutler, ReRe, and Brennan really helped elevate the event, and guests were very complimentary of them.
Absolutely awesome team serving others! I made some new friends at my daughter’s wedding. Make sure to ask for Pedro and Larry if you want fast service with not waiting! Everyone did a great job and served drinks really fast. Our signature drink was great.
Jillian and her team at Apres were awesome! We had them for our bar service for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. They kept the drinks flowing and were very professional! She even came up to my now husband and I to check in and to see if we needed anything. Very reasonably priced, would recommend!
We used Apres as our mobile bar for an event at Candle Bar DSM. Fair pricing & so professional! The set up was so cute & the drinks were great! Would recommend to anyone!!
Booking Apres Bar Co for a wedding
Weddings come up for Apres Bar Co — 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.
