Q&A

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

Cheers! Event Bartending prices our services based on guest count and hours of service, not by how many bartenders are requested. Our goal is to provide top tier quality service so every event starts with the basics which consists of the following: Professional, insured, certified, bartender(s); travel, bar tools, bar top, disposable cups, straws, napkins, standard garnishes, signature drink and alcohol shopping list consult, set up, clean up, coolers, and alcohol pickup. For 25 people or less our base price starts at $125/HR, 25+ people starts at $175/HR, 50+ people is $250/HR. For events larger than 150 people please contact us. Cheers!

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

Cheers! Event Bartending will take note of the details given upon contact and then reach out to set up a quick phone consult to clarify details so that the most accurate quote is communicated. After that phone call we will send a contract and deposit request to secure the date. Once booked Cheers! will move forward with additional consults to help clients determine signature drinks and alcohol shopping lists, as well as determine if any additional services are needed such as ice or mixers.

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

Both the owners, Brandy & Megan, have worked in the service industry for more than 20 years. They hold liquor liability insurance and are always up to date with TABC certifications. All bar staff at Cheers! are certified and insured as well and have been vetted by the owners for quality customer service. Brandy & Megan have also managed bars and worked various events of various sizes from small fundraisers to large festivals. They continue to nurture relationships with liquor representatives as well as practice the tools of the trade garnered from education by tried and true experts of the craft.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

It was a natural progression from being in the service industry because we absolutely adore the relationships and experiences that can be created across the bar top. Great bartending is more than slinging drinks or making a craft cocktail, it's about creating a personalized experience for each and every guest.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Cheers! Event Bartending has worked with a variety of customers and we welcome the opportunity to work with everyone. We've worked with extravagant white table cloth clients to backyard party animals and we love it all!! Our goal is always to provide the best of the best service in the client's desired style.

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

One of our most recent weddings was an AirBnB backyard pool party and it was a blast. Everyone danced and had a tequila or two! It was a small, family centered weekend filled with smiles, laughter, and love. The bride & groom were both gorgeous and everyone jumped in the pool at the end of the night to celebrate them!! It was a pleasure and Brandy even got to hold the baby!!!

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

Take advantage of the services being offered. Carrying ice and coolers is hard work. Nobody wants to worry that they might run out of cups or soda water. We've priced our services competitively so that you don't have to stress during you event! Experience has taught us that price only matters in the absence of quality, which is why Cheers! Event Bartending was created. We won't nickel and dime you for every tiny detail. Our base prices are designed so that you don't have to worry about the details because that's why we're here, for peace of mind on your special day. Let us help you, cheers!

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

We pride ourselves on top notch, quality service so we would encourage clients to think about how they would like their event to feel. Are the professionals you are speaking to transparent with their pricing and what that entails? What is your budget and how much work would you want to take on responsibility for? Often clients don't think about how much is required to set beverage service up. Do you really want to be scampering around making sure the ice was delivered or that the bar staff knows where to find the soda water only to realize that uh oh, Uncle forgot to bring it? Are they certified and insured? Are they communicative? Are they flexible and interested in hearing your thoughts? Cheers! wants you to have the event you desire which is why we like to speak with every client before providing a finalized quote.
