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 talked to him way before the wedding about what we wanted, touched base when we got a little closer and that's it!”
Add-ons they offer
From the reviews
Scott was so professional and one of my absolute favorite vendors. We talked to him way before the wedding about what we wanted, touched base when we got a little closer and that's it! He had it all taken care of and we didn't have to do any coordinating.
I loved working with Scott! He responded to my emails quickly and helped me create a drink list. The drinks at the wedding were perfect and I was amazed with how fast they were able to make each drink. I highly recommend bartending by Mallard!
Booking Bartending by Mallard for a wedding
Weddings come up for Bartending by Mallard — 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.
