Which bar service does your event need?
You may already have a bar and ingredients, or you may want the whole drinks service supplied. Start with what is ready and what you want taken off your hands. The difference between staff-only hire, a staffed mobile bar and a fully supplied package changes both the price and what you need to provide. Compare bar services for a short overview.
If you have the ingredients and a suitable working surface, start with cocktail maker hire. For general drinks service at an existing bar, consider bartender hire. If the room needs a physical bar and a working service point, consider mobile bar hire. For the bar, staff, ingredients, ice and glassware under one booking at a private party, consider the all-in-one cocktail package.
For a wedding, use the wedding cocktail packages. The answers below cover costs, staffing, space, drinks and timings so you can settle the practical details before booking.
