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
My wife and I hired the Connecticut Cocktail Car to serve drinks for a party at our house. The menu was very well thought out and planned with the night’s theme in mind. The service was excellent and we’d hire the iconic VW again.
Dave and his entire team were excellent from start to finish. Dave took his time to listen to all our individual wants and needs. He then crafted a menu that was reflective of the type of wedding we wanted.
We hired the CT Cocktail Car for our wedding earlier this month and were elated with the service we were provided. Dave was super helpful leading up to our wedding, altering the menu to accommodate a special request for my husband.
We hired the CT Cocktail car for a surprise 30th birthday party in our backyard and we couldn’t be happier with the drinks or the service. Dave was there early to setup, everything was prepped and ready to go including a beautifully written menu. The drinks were DELICIOUS. So fresh, and even tastefully garnished!
Booking CT Cocktail Car for a wedding
Weddings come up for CT Cocktail Car — 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 CT Cocktail Car
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at CT Cocktail Car — 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.
