During our consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed overview of what we offer, including our menu options, bartending staff, equipment, and additional services. This allows you to see firsthand the quality and variety of our offerings before making any decisions.
How do I know how much alcohol to order?
Once we know your guest count, service time, drink menu, and alcohol preferences, we create a customized shopping list with recommended quantities and brands. After more than 650 events, we understand what guests tend to enjoy based on the season, event time, age mix, cultural traditions, and the preferences you share with us. This helps you purchase the right amount without unnecessary guesswork or waste.
Do you offer mocktail (non-alcoholic)packages for events?
Yes. We offer beautifully crafted mocktails with fresh mixers, seasonal garnishes, and polished presentation. We strongly encourage including at least one mocktail because we have seen an increase in guests who choose not to drink alcohol but still want to feel included. A beautiful mocktail gives them something more memorable than soda or water and looks just as special as the signature cocktails.
Can you assist with alcohol order placement, pickup, and delivery?
Absolutely. With our optional Alcohol Concierge Service, we prepare and place the recommended alcohol order based on your guest count, service time, and drink menu. You review, approve, and pay the alcohol retailer directly, and our team coordinates pickup and delivery to the event. When combined with a full-service package, you do not have to shop for or transport the bar supplies or alcohol.
Are mixed drinks included in your packages? What about beer, wine and champagne?
Event Planning: The Time and Effort Behind a Successful Event?
Why Signature Drinks?
Picture your guests indulging in meticulously crafted cocktails, each one is a reflection of your celebration’s essence and your personal taste. Plus, they’re faster and easier to serve, cutting down on wait times and ensuring seamless service throughout your event. By opting for signature drinks, you can avoid over-purchasing different types of liquor and liqueurs that might go unused, ultimately saving you money without compromising on quality. From vibrant colors to unique flavor combinations, these drinks captivate the senses and elevate your event to new heights of sophistication. So why settle for the ordinary?
Can I request a specific cocktail that is not on your menu?
Absolutely, we are here to meet your needs to have a perfect event for you.
Hiring a mobile bar vs doing it myself?
To-do lists and considerations: Determining the quantity of ice, figuring out the right amount of alcohol to purchase, selecting the necessary mixers, estimating the number of cups, deciding on garnishes, acquiring coolers, securing ice scoops, ensuring your bar aligns with your theme, and not forgetting, identifying individuals to set it up, maintain it, and handle the cleanup afterward.

How many bartenders do I need?
We recommend one bartender for every approximately 60-65 guests, though this may vary based on the event type and services offered. This strategic ratio helps us maintain short wait times at the bar, uphold the aesthetic appeal of our bar setup, and continuously restock items as needed, ensuring a seamless service flow throughout the event. By providing the optimal bartender-to-guest ratio, we prioritize efficiency, quality, and guest experience, allowing you to relax and enjoy your event with confidence.
What if someone becomes inebriated?
In more than 650 events, we have encountered only a couple of situations that required additional attention. In our experience, guests generally drink more responsibly when professional bartenders prepare their beverages instead of using a self-service bar. Our bartenders use consistent pours, monitor service, and discreetly slow or stop service when necessary. If we notice that a guest may have had too much, we handle the situation gracefully and professionally while prioritizing the guest’s safety and the overall celebration.
How far are you willing to drive outside Houston?
Absolutely! Up to 125 miles but there will be a travel fee applied after 40 miles.
What kind of insurance do you have?
We have liability and liquor insurance.
Can you customize drinks for themed mocktail or cocktail events?
Yes. We can serve up to six signature cocktails, mocktails, or a combination of both, depending on your selected package and service plan. We can coordinate the drinks, garnishes, colors, names, and printed menu with your event theme for a polished, personalized experience.
Can I upgrade to premium glassware for my event?
Yes! We offer stylish glassware upgrades to elevate your event experience. From elegant cocktail glasses to champagne flutes, our premium glassware makes a lasting impression. If you prefer, we can also provide eco-friendly disposable options.
What is your cocktail delivery mobile bar service process?
We deliver expertly prepared mixers, garnishes, and barware to your venue—just supply the alcohol. As a dry-hire mobile bar in Houston, we can also help coordinate alcohol placement, pickup, and delivery logistics for a seamless experience (you would only have to pay directly for the alcohol).

Our bartenders’ primary responsibility is to remain behind the bar preparing beverages, keeping the bar organized, and monitoring responsible alcohol service. At smaller events, when service allows, we may occasionally circulate with cocktails or collect empty cups as a courtesy. If you would like continuous tray-passed cocktails, table service, or glassware collection, dedicated cocktail servers may be added to your proposal.
For safe and responsible service, alcohol remains behind the bar under our team’s supervision, especially when minors are present. Our bartenders use consistent pours, monitor service, check identification when appropriate, and gracefully handle situations in which a guest may have had enough. If alcohol is placed at a separate self-service station, that arrangement must be approved in advance, and the client assumes responsibility for alcohol served outside our supervised bar area.
We love pets, but animals must be secured away from the bar and working areas during setup and breakdown and may not enter the space behind the bar. We created this policy after a normally calm dog became nervous during breakdown and bit a member of our team while equipment was being moved. Keeping pets safely separated protects the animals, our staff, and your guests.
