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.
How they'll run your bar
“Something we really appreciated was how Cordial and Craft agreed to transfer my husband's sisters nonrefundable deposit to our booking after their wedding canceled due to COVID.”
“With the liquor, beer, and wine, we also chose to incorporate sodas and homemade lemonade, which were equally a hit.”
“We chose to do two signature cocktails, which were personalized twists on classic cocktails.”
“Heidi was extremely good at communicating with my whole family, always responding promptly and putting a lot of time into finding our perfect drinks and price point.”
“Lexie helped design custom cocktails for us, including a mocktail for a couple of us (including lightweights like myself).”

From the reviews
We knew going into our wedding that an open bar was a must, but Cordial & Craft exceeded all of our expectations and then some! During the planning process, Heidi and Lexie were ALWAYS quick with responses, easy to work with, and used online tools that made it seamless to plan and execute our event from a couple…
True professionals!! Heidi with Lexie and Tristen worked diligently as our wedding coordinators and delivered the most amazing magical wedding for my daughter in Highlands, NC! This was a destination wedding as we live in Florida so I had to rely on Heidi for much needed help and she was excellent!
Lexie (owner) and Ashley (our bartender on the day of) were so kind and attentive to what we were wanting for our wedding. Our wedding was this past October and we did 3 different kinds of mimosas with fresh garnishes, lemonade, sweet tea, unsweetened tea, and bottled water.
We hired Cordial and Craft for our May 2025 wedding, and they were a dream. Working with Lexie was so easy and organized. We had our wedding in our backyard, and we provided our own bar and the alcohol. This was no problem for Lexie and her team.
Booking Cordial & Craft for a wedding
Weddings come up for Cordial & Craft — 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 Cordial & Craft
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Cordial & Craft — 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.
