Frequently Asked Questions
"Do you provide alcohol as part of your packages?"
No, we do not provide alcohol as we are a dry hire bartending service. We adhere to Alaska state liquor laws, which prohibit us from purchasing, selling, or transporting alcohol for mobile businesses. Upon booking, we'll collaborate with you to plan your bar service, design a custom drink menu, and provide a shopping list of alcohol needed for your event. You bring the booze, and we'll bring the magic!
"What's included in your service?"
We supply everything needed (accept the alcohol) for your unique experience! From the portable bar (or mobile bar) to the ice, coolers, mixers, juices, garnishes, bar tools, and bartenders. All packages feature setup (2 hours prior to the event), cleanup, 4 hours of service accommodating up to 60 guests by a TAPS certified bartender. Additionally, we offer personalized drink menu planning, an alcohol shopping list, and the use of eco-friendly products—everything essential for crafting an unforgettable guest experience.
"Do you serve mocktails/sober events?"
100%! We happily accommodate any event - whether it’s strictly sober, a child’s birthday, sweet sixteen, graduation party, or an event where you want fun mocktails for underage guests. We’ve got you covered. Mocktails and non-alcoholic service can be provided upon request and do not change the base package price. Even without alcohol, these specialty drinks still require the same professional setup, barware, prep, and service included in our packages to create a great experience.
"Do you cater anywhere in Alaska?"
Yes, we're based in Anchorage and serve from Fairbanks to Homer. While there's no travel fee for the greater Anchorage area, venues outside of Anchorage may incur an additional surcharge of $1/mile for travel expenses, plus lodging if necessary. Please contact us to discuss the location of your event in Alaska.
"Why hire a TAPS certified bartender when my friend offered to do it for free?"
While your friend Bob may whip up a fantastic rum & coke, it's better to have a trained bartender serving your guests. As professionals, we ensure responsible serving, preventing guests from being over-served or served too rapidly, ensuring everyone enjoys the entire evening. It can be challenging to cut off a friend or family member if needed. Our priority is to ensure everyone has a memorable and enjoyable time at your event!
"Do you have/need a Liquor License?"
No, we do not have a liquor license, therefore cannot supply/sell any alcohol. Please ensure you consult with your venue before making any deposits with us to confirm their policies regarding the types of alcoholic beverages you intend to supply.
