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
Brandon and his team were excellent to work with from start to finish. We asked them to provide bartending service for our parents 50th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. Brandon's brother Torrey (spelling?) was our bartender and he was nice, professional and spoke to all of our guests and made them feel welcome.
Brandon setup bar services for our wedding, including creating two signature drinks, and did a great job. The drinks were a huge hit and his staff was on top of everything. Brandon himself is great - super easy to talk to and work with.
Brandon was the star of our annual Friendsmas celebration! Hosting 17 adults for an in-home cocktail party could have been overwhelming, but Brandon made everything effortless and absolutely enjoyable.
I'm going to be honest here, we didn't get off to the best start. There was a miscommunication on what time we are supposed to do our cocktail class. BUT.. Brandon more than made up for it.
Booking Brandon The Bartender for a wedding
Weddings come up for Brandon The Bartender — 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 Brandon The Bartender
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Brandon The Bartender — 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.
