Frequently Asked Questions
What is PJ Bartending's "Hire a Bartender, Not a Pre-Tender" approach?
That tagline has been PJ Bartending's calling card since 2012. The idea is that every event is staffed with experienced professional bartenders, not people learning the trade on the job. Over a decade of weddings, corporate events, and private parties has been built around that standard.
What areas does PJ Bartending serve?
PJ Bartending is based in Newtown Square and West Chester, Pennsylvania, and travels for events throughout PA, NJ, DE, MD, OH, SC, and NC. Most weddings and corporate work happens in the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley region, with longer-distance bookings available by request.
What's the difference between the "You Got It" and "We Got It" packages?
The "You Got It" package covers the bartending staff only. You supply the alcohol and mixers, and PJ's team serves it. The "We Got It" package adds non-alcoholic beverages, mixers, soft drinks, ice, garnish, and cups, so you only need to provide the alcohol itself.
What types of events does PJ Bartending work?
Weddings are the largest portion of the business, but PJ Bartending also staffs corporate events, house parties, fundraisers and charity events, funerals and wakes, BBQs, tailgates, pool parties, holiday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, sweet 16 mocktail parties, graduations, and engagements.
Does PJ Bartending offer bar rentals or just bartenders?
Both. In addition to bartending and serving, PJ Bartending rents portable bars and a cooler fleet, and provides custom cocktail creations as part of the package. Tailgate games and Baggo rentals can be added to round out larger backyard or corporate events.
Can PJ Bartending host bartending classes or private lessons?
Yes. The team runs interactive group bartending classes for parties and team-building events, and offers private bartending lessons for individuals or small groups looking to learn behind-the-bar fundamentals from working pros.
