First time hiring a bartender? No Problem! This guide will break down everything you need to know and answer some frequently asked questions.

Step one: Event Details

Before inquiring about a mobile bartender, it is good to have an idea of guest count, theme, date, and approximate time. This helps ensure that we are able to give you the best ideas and recommendations to fit your event.

Step two: Booking and Menu Finalization

After the initial email/phone call, QC events will provide you with a quote for your event. We take a $100 deposit up front to reserve the date and the remaining balance will be due after the event. From there we will work with you to create a custom menu for your event. Once the menu is finalized, we will provide you with a shopping list for anything you may need to provide.

Step three: Party Time!

On the day of the event, our bartenders will arrive to set up and ensure everything is ready for a successful night. We will then serve your guests and make sure that everyone has a drink in hand at all times!
