Hiring a cocktail maker should not create another job for you to manage. You should know what information is needed, what you need to buy, when the team arrives and what the service covers. This is how a Cocktailhire booking works.
1. Check the date and quote
Start with the event date, guest arrival and finish time, address and real guest number. Those details establish availability, service duration, staffing and travel. They are enough to produce the first useful figure.
2. Choose from the existing menu
You see the Cocktailhire menu before committing. Select the drinks that suit the room and the people coming. Around five choices normally gives guests enough variety while keeping service moving.
The selected drinks form the event menu. Cocktailhire does not spend the booking inventing drinks that have never been tested in service.
3. Receive the shopping list
For cocktail maker hire, the host buys the ingredients. The shopping list is calculated from the selected drinks, service time and guest number. Use the list rather than guessing, especially for ice and juice.
If you do not want to buy the ingredients yourself, the all-in-one service is the appropriate booking.
4. Confirm the service point
A kitchen island, counter or existing bar may be enough. The working area needs room for bottles, ice, tools and completed drinks. If the room has no suitable service point, add a mobile bar.
5. Decide whether to book or ask questions
If everything is clear, you can complete the booking online. If the setup is unusual or you want to know a real person is at the other end, schedule a callback. A callback is not a booking. The date is secured only when the booking is paid for.
6. The team arrives before service
The cocktail maker arrives early enough to bring in the equipment and prepare the bar before the chosen service time. Guest arrival is not the moment we begin unpacking.
7. Service stays within the booking
The team makes the selected cocktails and normal agreed drinks for the booked hours. Cocktailhire handles the bar area; it does not stay behind to clean the wider party, kitchen or room after guests leave.
8. Changes close before the event
Booking details remain changeable during the permitted window. Close to the event, the details lock so staffing and preparation can move forward from one confirmed version. Any outstanding balance must be cleared by the stated deadline.
What you are paying to protect
Cocktailhire is not the cheapest quote. The team is known, paid properly and booked with a 100% attendance record behind it. The price is not defending a label; it protects the part that matters when guests are already arriving.
