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
Booking and working with Mel was a 5 star experience for sure! She chatted on the phone with me explaining what is included in her bartending package and answered questions kindly. I booked that day .
I worked with Mixing with Mel for my wedding reception. She was amazing to work with and was flexible in booking when I had a last minute cancelation and had to find something rather quickly and close to my reception date. She is sweet, professional, and very easy to work with!
We love working with Mel. She always brings her game on to every Puesta Del Sol Farm event. Her presentation is beautiful. She makes everyone feel relaxed and happy! I totally recommend Mel and her staff for any occasion.
Mel was wonderful to work with for our wedding. She was patient with all of my questions. She was prompt to respond to emails during the booking process as well as after we committed to working with her. She also chatted on the phone with us ahead of booking so we can get any questions answered.
Booking Mixing With Mel- Mobile Bartending Service for a wedding
Weddings come up for Mixing With Mel- Mobile Bartending Service — 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 Mixing With Mel- Mobile Bartending Service
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Mixing With Mel- Mobile Bartending Service — 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.
