FAQ

The venue I’m using has a bar—can I still hire you? Absolutely! As long as the venue doesn’t require an exclusive bartending vendor, we can serve at most locations. If your venue doesn't have a built-in bar, we can bring one of our pop-up bars to you.

Do you provide the alcohol? To follow Michigan liquor laws, we don’t provide or sell alcohol directly.

Do I have to pay everything upfront? We require a 50% deposit at booking, with the remaining balance due 14 days before your event. If you’d like to pay in full up front, you can!

How far do you travel? We’re based in Detroit, and we include travel within 40 miles of our home base. If your event is further out, just ask—we offer a Travel Add-On to cover longer distances.

Can you help us design a signature cocktail? Yes, and we’ll craft 1–2 custom drinks that tell your story. Includes a consultation, custom drink names, and signs for your bar display.

Are you insured and TIPS certified? Yes, 100%! All of our bartenders are TIPS certified, and we carry general and liquor liability insurance. We can also provide proof of insurance if your venue requires it.
