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
Erin came and did a birthday class at my house for a group of 10 - such a fun night! The planning /communication beforehand was great. She has a comprehensive cocktail list she can teach from and was open to teaching a cocktail that wasn’t on there and even hunted for the supplies!
Incredible drinks and wonderful staff!! I’ve personally had events with them and they’re so fun!!
The Old Fashioned Mobile Bar was such a hit at our Jimmy Buffett-themed event! They completely nailed the vibe, especially with the blood orange margarita which was so fresh, flavorful, and a total crowd favorite. You can tell everything is made from scratch and thoughtfully tested.
This review is long overdue! Erin and Alex are absolutely wonderful. Our wedding was no easy task. We contacted them on short notice and boy did they deliver! They met us at our venue and worked with the many personalities to come to an agreement on a plan of action. I cant say enough how great they are to work with.
Booking The Old Fashioned Mobile Bar for a wedding
Weddings come up for The Old Fashioned 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 The Old Fashioned Mobile Bar
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at The Old Fashioned 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.
