The Cocktail Crew (Scottsdale)

Our standard rate is $80/hour for the first bartender, $70/hour for additional bartenders, and $55/hour for server/barbacks. We’re happy to advise how many bartenders you'll need based on your guest count and drink menu. We supply the service only, meaning that all alcohol, mixers, garnishes, ice, cups, straws, etc, would need to be provided by you or the venue. We keep it flexible with a low 3-hour minimum (most companies require 5+), so you get premium service without overpaying. Holiday rates and travel fees may apply depending on the time and location of your event — we’ll always be transparent about those upfront.

Step one: we get to know you and your vision. Whether you're throwing a laid-back backyard bash or an upscale wedding reception, we tailor everything to your vibe. Once we have the date, time, guest count, and general theme, we’ll send over a detailed proposal. After you book, we’ll handle the logistics — from arrival times to bar layout — and your bartender(s) will arrive on time, ready to impress and keep the drinks flowing.

All of our bartenders are certified and fully compliant with local and state alcohol service regulations. But we go beyond the basics — our Crew is trained in mixology, guest engagement, and premium hospitality. We’re not just pouring drinks — we’re elevating your party experience with showmanship, smiles, and great service.

The Cocktail Crew started with a simple idea: bartending should be just as fun and memorable as the rest of the party. Our founder saw a gap in the event industry for high-quality, charismatic bartenders who show up looking sharp, bring great energy, and know how to create a vibe. What started with small get-togethers quickly turned into one of Scottsdale and Phoenix’s go-to names for event bartending.

We've worked with all kinds of hosts and party planners — from high-end wedding coordinators to first-time party throwers. Events include: ✨ Weddings 🍾 Bachelorette & birthday parties 🏢 Corporate events & holiday parties 🌞 Pool parties & brunches 💼 Product launches & brand activations 📚 Book clubs & private dinners We’ve even bartended for charity galas and team-building retreats. No matter the occasion, we show up ready to make it unforgettable.

We curated a soft, sunny vibe with a build-your-own mimosa bar, a few light specialty cocktails, and table service for guests as they played games and opened gifts. The Crew blended into the background when needed but jumped in with personality when it was time to celebrate. Pure class and charm.

Don’t just hire a bartender — hire the right vibe. Look for someone who not only knows how to make great drinks but who connects with your crowd, keeps the energy up, and blends into your event seamlessly. Personality matters just as much as professionalism.

To help us serve you best, consider: 🍸 What's the overall vibe of your event (casual, elegant, themed, etc.)? 👯‍♀️ How many guests are you expecting? 🍹 What types of drinks do you want served? (Signature cocktails? Beer & wine?) 💰 What’s your ideal budget for bartending? ⏰ What time should service begin and end? Once we have those answers, we’ll build something amazing together.
