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
have been using Bay Area Bartenders for the past few years and they are professional and the easiest to work with. As a wedding planner, I always recommend my clients the All Inclusive package since the company provides everything and the client does not have to worry about the bartending side.
BAB Mixology school was my 1st introduction to bartending. It was fun and I learned the basics on making drinks. I even learned how to use certain bartending terminology. I’m returning to take a refresher on the level one course to prepare for my level 2 class.
Jason is awesome! He's very easy to follow and is totally approachable and patient. I was able to learn a long list of cocktails by following his "parts" method. You can tell this guy is passionate about what he does and it was worth the price of the course. I will be sure to refer some friends!
We had a house party with over 80 guests. Bay Area Bartenders provided a bartender and server. Both were great. We heard nothing but complements from our guests about the service they received. We'll definitely reach out to Bay Area Bartenders for help with our next party!
Booking Bay Area Bartenders for a wedding
Weddings come up for Bay Area Bartenders — 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 Bay Area Bartenders
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Bay Area Bartenders — 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.
