The arrival
A vetted bartender from our bench arrives 45 minutes early with personal tool roll.
Who shows up.
The bench belongs to a private mixology studio. Every bartender is held to our standards of craft, discretion, and hospitality - not a staffing agency's roster.

Arrives 45 minutes early in crisp studio attire under full commercial liability coverage. Fluent in classic mixology, effortless in pacing, and meticulous at the bar station.

Beforeyou book.
The flat answers, plainly given.
How much does an event bartender cost?
Flat packages: one bartender for up to four hours is $450, a pair is $850, full wedding teams from $1,200. Every extra hour is $75 per bartender. Host provides alcohol & ice. No hourly meters, no surprises.
Who provides the alcohol and ice?
The host provides the bottles, ice, and glassware - or we purchase alcohol on your behalf at supplier cost with full receipts. We bring the professional bartender and personal tool roll; we never mark up bottles or provide bar structure rentals at the $450 tier.
Are the bartenders insured and vetted?
Every bartender on our bench passes a trial shift with the founder and works under liability coverage. We serve guests 21 and over and never pour for a visibly intoxicated guest.
