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 recently had the pleasure of working with Curtis Henson of Rusty Barrel Traveling Spirits for a family community event in June 2024, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional! From the start, Curtis demonstrated fantastic customer service.
I would highly recommend the Rusty Barrel to anyone looking for wedding bar services. From the first inquiry, Curtis was great to work with. He was able to answer all my questions and give great recommendations for what he thought we would need on our wedding day.
We had been looking around for bartenders for our wedding for a couple weeks when I found the Rusty Barrel! Honestly, Curtis was a live saver. He was so organized with his information, he got back to me so quickly, the price was so reasonable, and the best part the horse trailer was so beautiful!
5 stars all the way. Prompt communication from the start. Very open to some of the last minute changes we had to make to accommodate our events needs.
Booking Rusty Barrel Traveling Spirits for a wedding
Weddings come up for Rusty Barrel Traveling Spirits — 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 Rusty Barrel Traveling Spirits
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Rusty Barrel Traveling Spirits — 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.
