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 are so glad we hired CBC for our wedding! They provided bartending and wait staff services and we were truly impressed with their work. Our bartenders were amazing. Interactive with our guests, efficient, and most importantly, made some amazing cocktails! Our guests raved about the drinks.
I’m so, so glad we hired The Chicago Bartending Company! From start to finish, they were amazing to work with. The responses were quick and they were able to provide different packages that suited our parties’ needs. Our bartender, Manny, was so fun and helpful.
We used Chicago Bartending Company for our daughters wedding on a farm in Wilmington. This company is amazing and went above and beyond to make this event so special. Everyone loved it and we can’t give them enough stars. You will be lucky to have this vendor for your event and I highly recommended them.
We hired The Chicago Bartending Company for a graduation party. They were incredibly easy to work with during the planning, arrived on time, and set up a wonderful bar with a beautiful display of all offerings. Our two bartenders were absolutely amazing, fun and so very nice!
Booking Chicago Bartending Company for a wedding
Weddings come up for Chicago Bartending Company — 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 Chicago Bartending Company
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Chicago Bartending Company — 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.
