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
Called Ken and he was super nice over the phone and made sure we talked about all the details for my wedding. He even gave us the cups and garnishments for the drinks as a wedding gift (what a nice guy!
This is hands down the best bartender. His crew the 2 ladies that came were so loving and attended our guests so well and we even told them to come and dance with us and they did! Will be using this company in the future. Very loving and respect people and professional.
Amazing team and very professional. Ken was more than helpful when a last minute event popped up and was able to provide his services on such short notice. We would love to have Portland Bartender Express for any future events!
I hired PBE for a small, intimate event at my organization. Ken was highly recommended to me by a colleague, and when I received all of the information about what he would provide, I felt a little bad because our event was going to be so small, and with only beer and wine, no cocktails.
Booking Portland Bartender Express LLC for a wedding
Weddings come up for Portland Bartender Express 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 Portland Bartender Express LLC
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Portland Bartender Express 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.
