We carry the strict general liability and liquor liability insurance required by premium venues and university facilities. Our high-volume, high-quality service keeps the energy flowing seamlessly.

 Why “Dry Hire” is the Ultimate Westwood Event Hack

Party Shakers operates as a premium “dry hire” mobile bar. What does this mean for your 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 300% markups that traditional catering companies charge for standard 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 guest count and chosen 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 with zero hidden venue markups.

  3. The Flawless Event: On the day of your party, our professional team arrives early, sets up beautifully, and delivers 5-star service.

Let’s Build Your Custom Experience.

Because every event in Westwood is unique, we don’t believe in generic packages. Whether you are planning a corporate milestone, an alumni gathering, or a luxury wedding, you deserve a beverage partner who cares as much about the details as you do.



Westwood Mobile Bartending & Event Beverage FAQs

From academic galas near the UCLA campus to corporate mixers along the Wilshire Corridor and elegant private parties in neighboring Holmby Hills, Westwood is a prime location for high-quality events. Whether you are wondering how far in advance to book a mixologist, navigating the differences between dry-hire and all-inclusive bar packages, or looking for ways to boost attendance at your next company happy hour, Party Shakers is here to make the process effortless. Below, we answer the most common questions our clients ask when planning exceptional mobile bartending services in Westwood and across the Westside.

Above all else, hiring a professional company gives you peace of mind. Experienced event teams ensure everything runs smoothly by asking you the right questions before you even know to think of them. We anticipate your needs, calculate logistics, and handle the heavy lifting so your event is flawless. Additionally, true professionals come fully backed by all required insurances—including general liability, liquor liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto insurance—which most premium Westwood venues strictly require.

We provide premium mobile bartending services throughout the entire Westwood area and the greater Westside. This includes catering to university-related events near the UCLA campus, high-end corporate gatherings in the Wilshire Corridor high-rises, and private residential celebrations in surrounding neighborhoods like Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Century City, and Brentwood. No matter the location, we bring the full luxury bar experience directly to your venue.

Booking timelines depend on the scale of your event. For a wedding or a large corporate event with 200 to 300 guests, you should book 4 to 6 months in advance. This ensures you secure the best bar captains and mixologists and gives you plenty of time to finalize complex logistics. While venues book up extremely fast (since there are only four Saturdays in a month), bartending services have a bit more flexibility. For smaller gatherings, booking 2 weeks to 2 months in advance is usually sufficient.

There are several routes you can take. Hiring a freelancer is the cheapest option, but it lacks reliability and proper insurance. A Dry Hire / Essentials Package includes the professional bartender, bar setup, and mixers, but you supply the alcohol. An All-Inclusive Package handles absolutely everything—the bar, ingredients, alcohol, ice, and logistics. At Party Shakers, we also offer Custom Packages. If you only need ice delivery, specific house-made syrups, or want to integrate sponsored alcohol for a brand activation, we will tailor the exact setup to your event’s unique needs.

Adding an open bar or cocktail hour to a corporate event can increase employee attendance by up to three times! After spending 40 hours a week working together, colleagues appreciate the chance to unwind, enjoy a well-crafted cocktail, and build genuine connections outside of the daily grind. It boosts company morale and creates a better team environment. We always recommend that corporate guests utilize rideshare services like Uber or public transportation so everyone can safely and fully enjoy the team-building experience.
