Introduction

After hitting the age when weddings become compulsory every summer, we realized something. Why is it so hard to find a great wedding bartender? After the cocktail renaissance of the late 20th century brides, grooms, and wedding guests everywhere are ready to have some truly wonderful cocktail experiences as part of the celebration. But this hasn't always been easy as many of the bartenders equipped with the kinds of skills it takes to pull off high end cocktails are often not available on the weekends or nights in general because they are busy working at whatever cocktail bar they call home full time. We decided to change this, every bartender on our staff has worked at some of the most storied cocktail bars in Denver and many continue to work at various well known bars around the metro area. We have a collective 20+ years of experience in high volume craft cocktail bars and are all TIPS certified. We offer a range of services from custom curated cocktail menus, staffing, and cocktail classes and seminars. Let us make your next event one you won't soon forget.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We aim to offer straightforward pricing. We will quote you a price based on one two or three bartenders based on the size of your event. We generally quote by a flat rate pricing model but can quote per hour if preferred. Our price includes, napkins, disposable cups, straws, mobile bar, set up and break down, coolers, ice, garnishes and some NA ingredients such as juices and custom made syrups. The only thing not included in our price is gratuity for staff, alcohol (in the state of Colorado, unless the person serving you the alcohol at an event owns a liquor store, it is not legal for a bartender at an event to serve alcohol they’ve provided), and higher end NA ingredients such as espresso. We will include a travel charge in our fee for events over 50 miles to pay for travel costs and travel pay for our staff.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Our typical process is to listen to your needs first and foremost. We will then talk about custom menu design and what type of bar service suits your needs. From there, we can get a list of your favorite spirit types and flavors and craft you a custom drink menu. We can even hold a tasting with you for final approval before the event. Our team spends several hours leading up to the event making sure every detail of the bar program is mapped out before we arrive.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Our founder and team leads have graduated from the prestigious Bar 5 day spirits education course. We hold various certifications in tequila, whiskey, wine and all types of spirits. We are TIPS certified.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Most of our team has been in the hospitality industry our entire careers. We are seasoned professional full time bartenders. We have hospitality engrained in us.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We work with anyone who wants to work with us, from weddings to corporate functions! We have a diverse team that can meet any of your needs for bar service.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We spend between seven and twelve hours behind the scenes before we get to event day. We spend this time curating custom menus, holding tastings, and crafting various syrups and other ingredients to ensure we give you a memorable experience for your event!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

We would give two pieces of advice. First, make sure whoever you hire knows the legality around serving alcohol for events in Colorado. Second, make sure your potential vendor is currently working as a bartender. Bartending, just like anything else, is a skill that, if not practiced, you lose proficiency in!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What kind of service are you looking for? Craft cocktails? Just beer and wine? What is your budget? What are the most important factors you’re looking for in hiring a bartender? Speed/efficiency? Experience in craft cocktails? Event expertise?
