Question 7

Why is it important to hire an insured, licensed, professional bartender service like Bartender 608?

Accepted Answer

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, just wait until you hire an amateur.” Hiring a professional for your important event just makes sense; experience, professionalism, and longevity are worth their weight in gold when you need everything to be in its place. The fun that comes from mixing things up drink-wise along with the pure delight of you and your guests’ enjoyment ensures a stress-free event and overall environment. Oh, and with satisfying, yet controlled portions, overserving will save you worry and money not to mention our clean-up services and the compliments you’ll receive long after we depart!

Question 8

Do you provide alcohol for my event?

Accepted Answer

No; Bartender 608 is hired out as a ‘dry hire’ with no alcohol included. As we do not carry a liquor license, we cannot directly purchase alcohol for you. However, we can help you organize your order and can recommend preferred retailers.

Question 9

My food caterer can provide bartenders along with the food...

Accepted Answer

Do you simply want your cocktail menu to “get by” or, do you want each and every cocktail, no matter how ‘simplistic’, to taste amazing? Many caterers are known for their fine food menu, not their drinks, (which is usually not the forefront of their business model. ) Our #1 business is the benefit of bar and beverage services. You’ve got a great guest list, venue, and photographer, so why not properly prepare with further professionals who take care in and of their craft to satisfy your guests for the duration of the event with our one and only Pour Service?!

Question 10

I'm having an event in my residence/on my boat/in my hangar, etc.; can you help?

Accepted Answer

* Grabs passport * Of course, in most instances, we’re able to help with many location industries. Simply contact us with your vision!

Question 11

What is your catering service charge fee?

Accepted Answer

Our service charge helps cover the costs of doing business; it is our event production fee for operating expenses for things such as insurance, advertising, office supplies, utilities, day-to-day operations, and other back-end costs. It is not gratuity. While our catering contract proposals show you a breakdown of your event elements and their costs, the service charge helps cover the cost of the hours needed to prep and plan your dedicated event. This fee is not hidden and is prominently listed on your Event Cinch quote as a line item. This allows you to have all the needed monetary information upfront.

Question 12

Can you create a custom cocktail menu for my event?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We love creating custom cocktails based on our clients’ favorite flavors and ingredients. During our virtual meeting, we’ll chat about everything, including your cocktail menu!
