Frequently asked
Do you provide the alcohol?
We can recommend quantities and a shopping list, but California licensing rules mean the host typically provides the alcohol. For events that need a licensed pour, we'll connect you with a licensed caterer partner.
How many bartenders do I need?
Rule of thumb: 1 bartender per 50 guests for beer & wine, 1 per 35 guests for full cocktails. We'll right-size during your quote.
What's the minimum booking?
4 hours of service per bartender, plus setup and breakdown.
