Plan your event

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.

Yampa Valley Shakers were amazing at our wedding and helped us create such a special night! They were immensely helpful throughout the planning process with figuring out what drinks to serve and how much alcohol to purchase.

★★★★★ — Lindsay, Aug 2022

I had Yampa Valley Shakers bartend my 2020 wedding and they did an AMAZING job! Ruby is charismatic, charming and so much fun to work with! He not only helped me decipher what and how much alcohol was needed, but also came up with some great signature cocktails.

★★★★★ — Molly, May 2021

Love, love, love Yampa Valley Shakers! They bartended our wedding at La Joya Dulce in June 2021 and were amazing. We kept the open bar simple, but they were reasonably priced, so much fun throughout the entire process, and Ruby is a complete godsend. If you're looking for bartenders, look no further. :)

★★★★★ — Mary, Aug 2021

Ruby tended our wedding reception at Library Hall and absolutely killed it! Highly recommend to anyone in need of a special event bartender in the Yampa Valley! Thanks Ruby!

Booking Yampa Valley Shakers for a wedding

Weddings come up for Yampa Valley Shakers — 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.
