How much time does it take to set up and break down a bar?
It typically takes a minimum of one and a half hours to get the bar set up efficiently and drinks iced down. This is, however, dependent upon the event. Having multiple bars or managing glassware for a large event will require more time to set up. Breakdown typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.

Do you charge gratuity on your invoice?
Clients have a few different options when it comes to tipping our bartenders. Clients can add gratuity to their invoice or choose to either tip the bartenders directly, or allow us to display an appropriate tip jar so that guests can tip the bartender, if they please. We kindly ask that clients notify us in advance if he or she prefers to tip directly, for our records and the bartender’s information. Gratuity amount is always left up to the client’s discretion, but a gratuity of $1.50 per guest or 10-40% of the total bill is standard, if the client is happy with the service received.
