Plan your event
- Serves the Portland, OR area — confirm your venue is inside their travel range when you inquire
- 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

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.
Add-ons they offer
Booking Welcome to The Gilded Shaker for a wedding
Weddings come up for Welcome to The Gilded Shaker — 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.
