You’ve probably seen our espresso martinis on Instagram. Maybe a friend told you about those guys who made the baby shower feel like a Beverly Hills club. This is why Best bartending in LA is more than just a service search. Making no mistakes is crucial for any event success.

But what’s it actually like to book Party Shakers?

Whether you’re planning a wedding in Pasadena, a rooftop mixer in West LA, or a backyard birthday in Venice Beach, we want to make your bar experience as unforgettable as the drinks themselves. In this post, we’ll walk you through exactly what happens—step-by-step—when you book with us.

Step 1: The Inquiry (aka Let’s Talk Vibe) Best bartending in LA

Every great party starts with a conversation.

When you contact us, we ask a few key questions:

  • What type of event are you hosting?
  • How many guests?
  • What date, time, and location?
  • Do you want cocktails, mocktails, coffee, or all three?
  • Do you have a theme, color palette, or vibe in mind?

From there, we match you with the perfect package or create a custom one just for you.

We respond fast—usually within 24 hours. No ghosting. No canned replies.

Step 2: The Quote (Transparent, Flexible, No Hidden Fees)

After the initial chat, we send you a detailed quote. It includes:

  • Bar setup and styling
  • Number of bartenders and staff
  • Drink menu and customization options
  • Whether alcohol is included (or BYOB)
  • Add-ons like espresso martini bars, photo booths, or mocktail stations
  • You’ll see exactly what you’re getting—and what it costs.

Fun fact: Most of our clients say we were the most organized and clear vendor they booked.

Step 3: The Signature Cocktail Creation (Optional, But Always Worth It)

And we’ll do the rest.

We can also:

  • Match drink names to your theme
  • Create print or digital menus
  • Design signage for the bar
  • Offer mocktail versions of everything

Step 4: Logistics & Coordination (So You Don’t Have To)

Here’s where Party Shakers really shines with Best bartending in LA.

We handle:

  • Communication with your planner or venue
  • Permits or insurance docs (if needed)
  • Power solutions (we bring our own generators for outdoor events)
  • Ice, mixers, tools, and all setup needs
  • Arrival, setup, and full breakdown without interrupting your event

You don’t need to lift a finger. Just let us in, show us the space, and get ready to party.

Step 5: Showtime — Your Event Day

We arrive early, looking sharp, and we set up quietly and efficiently.

During your event:

  • Bartenders greet your guests, explain the menu, and keep the energy flowing
  • We manage bar flow to avoid lines
  • Our team restocks, cleans up, and handles everything behind the scenes
  • We check in with you or your planner to adjust timing or flow if needed

Whether we’re serving espresso martinis, spicy margaritas, or lavender mocktails—the drinks will be cold, beautiful, and on-brand.

Step 6: Last Call + Breakdown Best bartending in LA

We give you a heads-up when we’re approaching last call. We don’t just disappear—we close strong.

Then we:

  • Break down the entire bar
  • Clean the area
  • Remove all our equipment and trash
  • Leave your space as clean (or cleaner) than we found it

No surprises. No mess. You relax—we wrap.

External Review Validation

According to The Knot’s 2025 Vendor Review Insights, **bar service is one of the top three vendors most likely to be rated 5 stars—**when communication, creativity, and professionalism are present. It’s also one of the vendors most likely to get low marks without them.

That’s why we focus on all three—from the first reply to the last drink.
