Frequently Asked Questions
​
Services
What does "dry service" mean?
Dry service means we do not sell or provide alcohol. Instead, we offer professional bartending services to mix and serve the alcohol you supply. However, we always guide you with liquor planning to ensure that you have the right options and amounts for successful service.
​
What does your bartending service include?
Our service includes certified bartenders, portable bars (including our handcrafted wooden bars), bar tools, and all the essentials needed to provide top-notch service.
​
Do you provide mixers, garnishes, or ice?
Yes, depending on what package you choose, we supply mixers, garnishes, ice, coolers, keg taps and anything we need for beverage service. You will never be asked to provide anything but the alcohol!

Can you help us plan our drink menu or recommend alcohol quantities?
Absolutely! We can suggest a drink menu tailored to your event and help calculate the right amount of alcohol based on your guest count and drink preferences.

Logistics
Who is responsible for providing the alcohol?
You’ll provide the alcohol for your event. We will guide you on what to purchase and how much you’ll need.
​
Do you handle transporting and storing the alcohol?
Since the alcohol is provided by you, transportation and storage will also be your responsibility. However, we can help organize the purchase and delivery of the alcohol and will leave any leftovers where directed.
​
How much space do you need for your setup?
We typically need a space of about 10'x10’ for our setup, but this can vary depending on the size of the event and the services you’ve requested.
​
Do you need access to water or electricity at the venue?
Access to water and electricity is helpful but not always required. Let us know your venue details, and we’ll plan accordingly.
​
What areas do you serve, and do you charge for travel?
We primarily serve the Denver Metro or Phoenix Metro areas but are happy to travel for events. Travel fees may apply for events outside our standard service area.
​
Customization
Can we request specific mixers or garnishes?

Can you help us create a signature cocktail for our event?
Definitely! We love creating custom cocktails that reflect your personality or event theme.
​

Day-Of Details
How early do you arrive for setup?

​
Do you clean up and pack up after the event?
