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
Amazing caterers! Jamie and her crew offer the best catering food and experience in Albuquerque. Easy to work with on strategy, budget, and special dietary needs...always super friendly and helpful...and they'll leave your place cleaner than it was before they arrived!
Black Iron Catering is absolutely phenomenal! They recently catered our event, and the food was beyond incredible—delicious, beautifully presented, and full of bold, unique flavors. The team is professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.
Black Iron Catering came through yet again with a grand slam! They prepared a beautiful spread, with all the perfect decor, our guests continue to rave about the quality and creativity of Black Iron Catering. Jamie and crew provided fun festive options as well as a talented Bartender, Daniel.
Once again, the crew of Black Iron Catering arrived and set up quickly and professionally. Their staff were polite and quietly did the job without disturbing the event. As usual, when they left the place was as clean as when they arrived. They even made sure that their footprint on our utilities was low.
Booking Black Iron Catering Co. for a wedding
Weddings come up for Black Iron Catering 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.

Corporate events with Black Iron Catering Co.
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Black Iron Catering Co. — 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.
