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've used this craft cocktail bartending service (with the cutest name!) for many of my events - both large (450+ people) and smaller (40+ people). Heather, the owner and operator, makes delicious specialty cocktails and can come up with new drinks based on a theme or the event's vibe.
Bartending Bestie was the best bartending service for my 40th, this past weekend. Heather was so easy to work with, she called me early on and we talked through everything I wanted/needed. The communication is flawless with this company - they did an amazing job with the signature drinks I requested.
Bartending Bestie was our wedding bartender and our experience could not have been better! She was responsive, flexible, and very helpful every step of the way. We requested specialized signature drinks, including one that was smoked with palo santo, and she worked hard to accommodate us.
We have used Bartending bestie for our Christmas parties and Heather does a fantastic job! Always professional and fun! She provides everything you need for great bar service and fun drinks! Highly recommend!
Booking Bartendingbestie for a wedding
Weddings come up for Bartendingbestie — 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.

Corporate events with Bartendingbestie
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Bartendingbestie — holiday parties, launches, client mixers. For office events, three things are worth settling on the first call: whether they carry the liquor liability insurance your building or venue requires, whether they can run a mocktail or zero-proof menu alongside the bar, and how invoicing works if your company needs a W-9 and net-30 terms.
