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
If I were to list all of the reasons why I'm giving Drink Slingers a 5-star rating, we'd be here for hours. HOURS. I partnered up with them for three happy hours (nightly for three days in a row) and they beyond bring their A-game. One night we even had them teach a cocktail class and attendees LOVED it!
Drink slingers was great to work with while coordinating our event. Our bartender Jen was fantastic. The set up looked professional, everyone had a great time.
I used Drink Slingers for a cocktail making class for a group of 8 ladies and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Josh was our mixologist and he was a true delight; he was professional and also had a darling personality.
Having Drink Slingers serve drinks at our wedding was a great choice! The bartender (Aryn) was beyond accommodating to our requests and served up very tasty drinks. He also had a fun outfit that brought an exciting flair to the bar while still remaining “in theme” for our wedding.
Booking Drink Slingers for a wedding
Weddings come up for Drink Slingers — 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 Drink Slingers
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Drink Slingers — 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.
