Hosting in the Valley should be enjoyable, not exhausting.

Planning an event in a vibrant community like Sherman Oaks means juggling a lot of moving parts. Whether you are coordinating a massive 50th birthday bash in your backyard, organizing a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or hosting a company holiday party at a local venue, the beverage service is the heartbeat of the celebration. If the bar line is moving too slowly, the cocktails feel generic, or the bartenders lack 5-star hospitality, it brings down the energy of the entire party.

We believe you shouldn’t have to spend your own event running around restocking ice or worrying about the drinks. We take the pressure completely off your shoulders by managing every logistical detail of your beverage catering. From curating a beautiful, custom cocktail menu to managing flawless setups and providing RBS-certified mixologists, we ensure you can step away from the stress. Our mission is to let you be a relaxed, present guest at your own event, completely confident that every pour is perfect.

Why “Dry Hire” is the Ultimate Event Hack for SFV Hosts

Party Shakers operates as a premium “dry hire” mobile bar. What does this mean for your event budget and the quality of your drinks? It means you purchase the alcohol, and we provide absolutely everything else.

This is a massive financial and creative advantage. Instead of paying the heavy 300% markups that traditional catering companies charge for standard, uninspired liquor packages, you pay retail prices for the exact premium brands you want to serve. We provide a customized, precise shopping list based on your specific guest count and menu. You buy the spirits, and we bring the custom mobile bar, the premium mixers, the fresh garnishes, the ice, the glassware, and the expert staff. You retain total control of your bar with zero hidden venue markups.

Let’s Build Your Custom Experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sherman Oaks Bartending

A 20 to 30 guest count is actually one of the most common and ideal sizes for an intimate gathering! For groups of this size, we typically provide a specialized mini-bar setup featuring a curated menu of signature drinks. While massive events require extensive coordination and multiple staff members, a single professional mixologist can effortlessly handle a 30-person guest count, ensuring everyone gets a perfect drink without any wait.

If you take the DIY route, you aren’t actually partying—you are working for your guests. You will spend the entire night trapped behind a table mixing drinks, restocking ice, and cleaning up spills. Hiring a professional bartender means you get to step away and actually enjoy the event you worked so hard to plan. Plus, drinks crafted by a professional simply taste better and elevate the entire experience.

Yes, craft cocktails are our specialty! If you just want to serve basic “rum and Cokes” or “vodka cranberries,” you don’t necessarily need an elite mixologist. However, if your vision includes a custom menu featuring complex, beautifully garnished craft cocktails that wow your guests, hiring a seasoned, specialized professional is absolutely essential.

The dry bar model is incredibly flexible and budget-friendly for large milestone celebrations. It gives you total control over what kind of alcohol you buy and how much you spend, and you get to keep all the leftover bottles for your own home! Meanwhile, we handle all the heavy logistical lifting: providing the stunning physical bar setup, expert mixologists, premium ice, and fresh ingredients.

Yes, we carry all the necessary insurances to satisfy strict commercial venue requirements. Our company is fully licensed, our staff is California RBS-certified, and we carry comprehensive General Liability, Liquor Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Commercial Auto insurance to ensure your corporate event is completely covered and compliant.
