- Licensed & insured licensing and liability insurance come up in reviews or their own materials — still ask for a current certificate of insurance; most venues require one

- Tap truck / mobile bar unit they bring a converted truck, trailer, or cart as the bar itself — confirm your venue has the space and access for it

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
My husband and I had our wedding reception in March, and we couldn’t be happier with Shaken Not Spurred! Karie and her team were incredibly accommodating, delivering exceptional bartending service while keeping everything spotless and running smoothly.
I had an incredible experience with Shaken Not Spurred Mobile Bar for my friend's surprise 30th birthday party! From the start, Karie was attentive and came up with fantastic drink and pairing ideas that perfectly matched our theme.
I had the opportunity to enjoy an amazing gourmet grilled cheese sandwich from Shaken Not Spurred at a recent event. I'd met Karie before, and she told me about her business, and invited me to visit her food truck. She was working at an event nearby so I went the very next weekend and I'm so glad I did.
Karie and her bartenders at Shaken Not Spurred Mobil Bar were absolutely amazing at my son’s rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. We could not have asked for someone better. Her Mobil Trailer fit perfectly at the our venue, Seven Springs.
Booking Shaken Not Spurred Mobile Bar for a wedding
Weddings come up for Shaken Not Spurred Mobile Bar — 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 Shaken Not Spurred Mobile Bar
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Shaken Not Spurred Mobile Bar — 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.
