Question 4

WHY DO I HAVE TO INCLUDE THE HOUR FOR SETUP & THE HOUR FOR CLEANUP TO MY EVENT WHEN ONLY NEED BARTENDING SERVICES?

Accepted Answer

As awesome as it would be to show up to your event & everything be ready to go, most (all of the MMK) bartenders include an array of bar tools with our "just the bartender" services that require to be set up prior to the event. Also, bartenders all work differently and have their own way of setup that favors the way they work and the flow to ensure a smooth service for your guests. Also, this gives another set of eyes one last chance to go over everything to make sure nothing is missed before it's too late & your guests begin to arrive.

Question 5

CAN YOU PROVIDE THE ALCOHOL?

Accepted Answer

Due to State of Texas Liquor Laws, our clients are always required to provide/purchase the alcohol for the event. For our alcohol coordination, we work a little differently than most bar catering services. Instead of charging per head, we charge a flat coordination fee + cost of the alcohol that is to be paid directly to the vendor. Not only are you getting alcohol at MMKs discounted rates, but any & all additional discounts that I have at the time of purchase will be applied to your purchase as well. All alcohol will be paid for by the event host directly to the vendors.
