| So How Do You Find and Hire a Professional Bartender For Your Event So you're planning your wedding reception or a company event and you know you'll want to have a bartender/s available to serve your quests those fancy blended drinks or to pour and serve a glass of champagne to help get your guests in the party mood. Having a professional bartender for your wedding reception or party is an important ingredient for the success of any event. You want your guests to relax and have a good time and having a cocktail is a great way to get everyone to relax and socialize. But what makes a good bartender and how do you know one when you see one? A professional bartender is: Someone who shows up on time and is dressed for the occasion and even better yet can make a good blended drink. A professional should be able to serve your guests efficiently and with a smile and all at the same time! A professional bartender should also be able to monitor the guests so they don't over consume. A true mixologist when asked should be able to tell you the ingredients for any number of drinks. An experienced bartender should be able to pour a good drink without over pouring. And an experienced bartender should be able to give you an idea of what kind of alcohol to serve for your type of event and how much alcohol to order for a specific number of guests. How to find a good bartender: You can get recommendations from family and friends If you've booked a venue ask to see their list of preferred vendors If you have an event or wedding planner they should be able to recommend freelance bartenders or a bartender service that they've worked with If you've hired a caterer they may have a bartender service they use or can recommend But be cautious when accepting recommendations from vendors you have never done business with before. You should still check out the recommended bartender or service for yourself. To better help you make an informed decision: It's a good idea to do some research on the going rate for bartender services. Go online and check out various bartender services some post the cost of their service online. Or call around for quotes. When speaking with a freelance bartender or bartender service clarify what exactly is included in their service. For example for a freelance bartender ask if they supply their own bartending kit? For a bartender service ask about attire, licenses. Who supplies blender, glasses ice etc. |
