If you're planning an event, whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or a private party, one of the most important aspects to consider is the quality of the drinks being served. Drinks can make or break an event! However, choosing the right bartender can be a daunting task, as there are many factors to consider. In this post, we'll discuss the top seven factors to consider when hiring a bartender for your event.
Bartender Experience and Qualifications:
You want to hire someone who has the experience and qualifications to make great cocktails. Ensure they have their Serving It Right and liquor liability insurance.
Bar Equipment and Supplies:
A professional bartender will bring their own equipment, such as shakers, stirrers, and garnish tools. You may need to provide cups, stirrers, ice, mix, and the physical bar though. Be sure to clarify this with the bartender before making a final decision.
Pricing and Packages:
Ask about their pricing structure, packages, and any additional fees. This will help you plan your budget accordingly.\
Customizable Drink Menu:
Many bartenders can create a customizable drink menu based on your event's theme or your guests' preferences. Make sure to ask if this is an option.
Bartender Attire:
Your bartender's attire can make a significant impression on your guests. Ensure that they dress appropriately and in line with the event's dress code.
Bartender Reviews and Recommendations:
Don't forget to read reviews and ask for recommendations from other event planners or individuals who have hired the bartender before.
By considering these factors, you can ensure that you hire the right bartender for your event.
