What we know about Fontainebleau
Straight answers for Fontainebleau hosts
It is about 12 miles from our Hialeah yard to Fontainebleau as the map measures it. We treat that as a straightforward run — one load, one drive, one setup — with a team on site and building before the schedule says it has to be.
Around Fontainebleau sit Sweetwater, Westchester and University Park, the closest of them about 2 miles off. We price all of them identically, so a venue search that wanders over the line into Sweetwater does not send you back to the start of a pricing conversation.
Fontainebleau is an unincorporated area rather than a city of its own — it is what people call where they live, and the county holds the rulebook. That usually simplifies matters: one set of county rules covers your event, and the venue or the HOA is the party with an opinion about load-in times.
Setup begins about 1 hour ahead of your start time. We would always rather walk into an empty room than a full one, so tell us the earliest your venue will let us in and we will usually take it.
Bartending in Fontainebleau is priced the way it is priced everywhere we work: $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum, and a quote you can see online without waiting for a callback. Crossing the county does not move the hourly rate.
December is the month we price the most bartending dates in — 13% of them. If your Fontainebleau date falls inside it, book earlier than feels necessary.
How far are you from Fontainebleau?
Our yard is in Hialeah, about 12 miles from Fontainebleau as the map measures it. That is separation rather than a drive time — the route matters more than the distance around here — but it gives you the shape of it.
It makes no difference to the rate. Bartending is $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum across the whole service area.
Which areas near Fontainebleau do you also cover?
Sweetwater, Westchester and University Park are the closest, starting about 2 miles out at Sweetwater, and we serve the rest of Miami-Dade besides.
Guests traveling between them are worth a thought when you set your start time. Arrivals bunch, and a bar that opens on schedule is a bar that clears the first rush.
Can you build a custom cocktail menu for a Fontainebleau event?
That is the normal way we do it. Tell us what the room drinks and we design the list around it — classics, frozen drinks, mocktails, and a signature or two if you want them.
The mixers, juices, garnish and ice to run that menu come on the truck, portioned to your guest count.
Can I change the details after booking my Fontainebleau date?
Yes. Guest counts and menus move around constantly and we plan for it — tell us and we re-price cleanly.
The date itself can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before the event, and the deposit is fully refundable until 7 days out.
