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've now used Highball Bartenders twice for our company holiday party, and Adam has been nothing but phenomenal! His service is outstanding, his drinks are amazing, and he makes everyone at the event feel special.
We had a fantastic experience working with this team for our recent event. From start to finish, they were professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Not only is Adam extremely easy to work with - on time, responsive, professional - he also makes fantastic drinks! We hired him for our small business holiday party and he was so great, we hired him again this year. His drinks are well-balanced and nicely garnished.
A big thank you to Adam with Highball Bartenders for making our company Christmas party such a memorable experience! Not only did he mix great drinks, but was super personable, friendly, and just a pleasure to chat with. You could tell he knew his stuff and was passionate about client satisfaction.
Booking Highball Bartenders for a wedding
Weddings come up for Highball Bartenders — 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 Highball Bartenders
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Highball Bartenders — 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.
