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
Mike and his team were excellent! From communication to service, they handled everything with professionalism and worked with us for our wedding, tackling everything thrown at them. As the bride, I can say we threw a lot at Mike, but he handled everything with a straight face.
We used Shake It Up Bartending for our company's Rebranding Party & they did not disappoint! The quick communication from Mike was greatly appreciated. He answered all of our questions in a very timely manner & helped us feel at ease throughout the stressful planning process.
This was our first time using Shake it Up Bartending, but it will not be our last. We worked with Mike from beginning to end and it was the smoothest experience. He answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process.
Our son booked Shake It Up Bartending for his wedding. I would highly recommend this service as they were outstanding. Very organized, communication was superb and the bar tenders were extremely patient, kind, and efficient for the amount of people barraging them for drinks all night!! Job well done
Booking Shake It Up Bartending for a wedding
Weddings come up for Shake It Up Bartending — 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 Shake It Up Bartending
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Shake It Up Bartending — 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.
