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.

A directory can't see anyone's calendar — availability, travel fees, and minimums always come from the bartender directly.

From the reviews

My husband and I recently had an intimate wedding ceremony and reception in downtown Elgin and we consider ourselves so lucky that The Bar had just dropped off flyers at our venue when we were in the beginning stages of planning our event.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Jun 2023

From the start of working with The Bar, it was all so easy. Lauren was super responsive and worked with us on figuring out our signature cocktails. She even invited us in for a tasting where she made the cocktails for us and made adjustments as requested.

★★★★★ — Alexis, Nov 2025

We absolutely loved our experience with you! From my first interactions with Shannon to set up my event to fit my husband’s style to the event itself. It was perfect! Their bartenders were professional in every way and made our event perfect! I will definitely use them in the future!
