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.

This review is long overdue. Scharnelle "Bootz" Hamlin was hired for my wedding back on 8/10/24. I was referred to her from a colleague of mine who's wedding she worked back in April 24'. I was so impressed I just knew I had to hire her for my wedding.
Bootz is AMAZING!! Seriously, when I first inquired on social media about a good bartender for my wedding, about 85% of the replies I got were all for Bootz, and I know why!! She was excellent in keeping up with my questions and last minute changes.
We cannot thank Bootz enough for being our bartender on our wedding day on August 23rd, 2025. From cocktail hour to the final sendoff, she kept the drinks flowing smoothly and the vibes high. Throughout the entire planning process, Bootz was always available and incredibly helpful with any questions we had.
Booking Bootz the Bartender LLC for a wedding
Weddings come up for Bootz the Bartender LLC, going by their listing and hosts’ reviews, 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.
