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 you are having a wedding or event, you absolutely need this crew as your bartenders! Colby is who I was in contact with before the wedding and he was amazing to work with. He was kind, answered every question I had, and is extremely knowledgeable in what he does.
Firstly, apologies to Colby, as I thought I wrote a review months ago! I hired Colby in January 2023 for my wife's 40th birthday party. From our first call, he did a great job of setting expectations and providing a few different options.
Colby and his team were absolutely incredible & I’m SO happy we chose them to bartend our wedding this October. Colby was so much fun to plan with; professional, creative & truly dedicated to delivering an amazing experience for us and our guests.
My husband and I are big cocktail enthusiasts and had a vision for a very cocktail focused bar menu/selection at our wedding. During our initial search for bartenders for our wedding we were disappointed in the options available to us, until we found Modern Bartender.
Booking Modern Bartender LLC for a wedding
Weddings come up for Modern Bartender LLC — 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 Modern Bartender LLC
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Modern Bartender LLC — 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.
