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
We hired Cart Side for our engagement party, and booking them was easily one of the best decisions we made for the entire event. The drinks were absolutely delicious, beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and so thoughtful in flavor that guests were still talking about them days later.
TLDR – If you are worried about finding a stellar bartending service and are wanting to find someone who not only makes great drinks but brings good vibes, look no further! Once you get on the initial call with Lauren (Cart-Side Cocktails) you will know immediately you are in good hands!
Working with Nicole and Donovan of Cart-Side Cocktails was an amazing experience. Our son was recently married at a winery in Paso Robles and we hired Cart-Side Cocktails to provide the bartending services for the wedding.
Cart Side Cocktails went SO ABOVE & BEYOND any expectation I could have ever had for our wedding! I used to have a lounge in San Francisco where we made our own specialty cocktails, so my standards are pretty high when it comes to yummy cocktails!
Booking Cart-Side Cocktails for a wedding
Weddings come up for Cart-Side Cocktails — 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 Cart-Side Cocktails
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Cart-Side Cocktails — 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.
