Is your company insured?
North Carolina venue owner's require an insured bartender to serve alcohol to you and your guests.
We have Liquor Liability, General Liability, and Workers Compensation to protect your party
and can provide a Certificate of Insurance for your venue upon request.
Do you supply the alcohol or do I?
We do not have an ABC Permit to provide or purchase alcohol for your event.
Our clients will be required to supply all their alcoholic beverages.
We will be happy to pick-up and deliver your pre-purchased alcohol for an additional fee.
How do I calculate how much alcohol to purchase?
First consider your crowd. Are they heavy drinkers, moderate, or light?
If you have 100 guests at your event, you would divide your group in half.
One half drinking beer and the other half drinking wine.
If 50 guests have 5 beers each you would need 250 beers
There are 5 glasses of winr in a bottle (six in a bottle of red)
If 50 guests are drinking wine and they each have 5 glasses of wine, you would need 50 bottles.
If you're also serving hard seltzers then substitute these with the amount of wine you purchase.
If you're serving liquor you would do the same math using 2ozs per cocktail and assume that the
majority of guests (typically 70%) will be consuming cocktails rather than beer and wine.
What type of wine and beer do you recommend?
We recommed 3-4 varieties of beer: An IPA, lager, pilsner, lite beer, ale
Two varieties of White Wine- Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay
Two varieties of Red Wine- a Cabernet or Pinot Noir or a Red Blend
Will there be a gratuity added?
A 15% gratuity is added to the Wait Staff (Server) fee.
Unless otherwise indicated, our bartenders typically place a tip jar on the bar and are tipped by
your generous guests. A gratuity is not added to the bartending fee unless otherwise specified.

What areas of North Carolina will you travel to?

Will I need cups if we are renting glassware?
Yes, even if you have rented glassware, towards the end of the evening we typically switch over to plastic cups.
This allows us to collect all the glassware and rerack them
to ensure that the racks are filled and ready to return to the event rental company.
What do the cups look like that the bartenders provide?
We use clear 9oz disposable Solo cups for wine and cocktails, and 16 oz disposable cups for beer
