You are in total control of your budget. You purchase your favorite alcohol at retail prices, completely avoiding venue markups. Not sure how much to buy? We provide a comprehensive Alcohol Calculator to ensure you have exactly what you need.
We arrive early to set up the bar, prep the garnishes, and chill the mixers. From the first guest’s arrival to the final toast, our charismatic bartenders handle the high-volume service so you can actually enjoy your own party.
Frequently Asked Questions For Essential Bar Packages
Our Open Bar packages are 100% all-inclusive and hassle-free—we handle every single detail, from the liquor to the garnishes, so you don’t have to lift a finger. The Essentials package is our premium “dry hire” service. We provide the elite bartenders, the physical bar, and the essential tools, but you purchase the alcohol. The biggest advantage of the Essentials package is cost control, plus you get to keep all the leftover un-opened alcohol for your home bar or your next event!
We take the guesswork out of your shopping! Once you book, we provide a customized shopping list based on your guest count and preferences, detailing exactly what spirits and ingredients you need. You can also use our free, built-in Alcohol Calculator anytime. Whether you want to keep it simple or offer complex drinks, we give you the exact blueprint for a seamless service.
Absolutely. Our certified mixologists always arrive fully equipped with professional bar tools and essential bitters. With the Basic package, the complexity of the drinks depends entirely on what you choose to supply. If you provide standard ingredients from our general shopping list, our skilled bartenders can easily craft 15 to 20 classic cocktails!
If you follow our custom shopping list, you will be well-stocked! However, party dynamics can be unpredictable—sometimes guests gravitate heavily toward one specific cocktail in the first two hours. If one spirit runs out, do not panic and do not leave your own party to go to the store. Our experienced bartenders are experts at pivoting. We will seamlessly direct guests to delicious alternatives using your remaining inventory so the celebration never skips a beat.
The Essentials Plus package is the perfect “sweet spot” between doing it yourself and booking a fully inclusive Open Bar. By upgrading, we bring our authentic, house-made craft syrups and fresh organic juices (which are much healthier and better tasting than store-bought mixers). It drastically reduces your shopping list—you usually only need to provide 2 types of base spirits! Plus, because we bring our premium craft ingredients, your guests automatically get access to a high-end Mocktail menu. It saves you massive amounts of time and money while delivering a true luxury experience.
