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 were a group of 60 traveling from out of town for the Oaks and Derby, and were referred to Lauren Brown of Michaelis Events for one of our group celebrations, and I'm so thankful we found her!
We couldn't have dreamt up a better "all inclusive" vendor AND staff then Michaelis. From the start, Lauren was so helpful. We really knew nothing, besides what you read online, about catering and such. So Lauren was so helpful in answers our 1000 questions, literally!!
You can stop reading reviews now and just go ahead and book Michaelis Events. After the 20th guest comes up to you to rave about the food you'll be glad you did. Amanda guided us with professionalism and kindness through the whole process from choosing flowers to place settings and bar service.
I should have been embarrassed to ask if there was any possibility I could hire Michaelis Events for help throwing a wedding together with two weeks’ notice. That’s not how I normally plan things!
Booking Michaelis Events & Catering for a wedding
Weddings come up for Michaelis Events & Catering — 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 Michaelis Events & Catering
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Michaelis Events & Catering — 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.
