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
Jordan was fantastic. Even though the drink I wanted wasn’t the featured drink she was able to make sure I had what I wanted and make sure the experience was top notch. Jordan is great!
From the moment I approached the bar, Shawn greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that immediately set a welcoming tone. Shawn's expertise and passion for mixology were evident as they expertly crafted my drinks.
Wonderful experience! Received a quote very quickly for a happy hour that was scheduled last minute. Put together a great menu and sent me a contract the same day I inquired. The bartender himself was lovely! Shawn was great with all the attendees, friendly and prepared delicious drinks.
We have hired The Bartender Company for multiple company events over the years, and they have always been EXCELLENT. Friendly, on time, professional but still fun. The perfect combo. Most recently we had Shawn as our bartender and he was top notch. Went above and beyond what we even anticipated.
Booking The Bartender Company for a wedding
Weddings come up for The Bartender Company — 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 The Bartender Company
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at The Bartender Company — 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.
