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.

We hired Simply Cocktails for a corporate party and Tim and his team really went above and beyond. The bar staff was personable and made sure everything was seamless. The drinks were made with love - you can tell they use fresh juices and high quality ingredients. Everyone raved about the blood orange margarita.
Simply Cocktails was an absolutely amazing addition to our wedding in Santa Barbara. It started where we did a "cocktail tasting" for fun and ended up hanging out with Tim for a few hours, he even connected us with a local bar to go to post wedding!

Booking Simply Cocktails for a wedding
Weddings come up for Simply Cocktails — 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 Simply Cocktails
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Simply Cocktails — 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.
