Only fill in minors if you want mocktails (zero-alcohol cocktails) for kids, otherwise leave at 0.
A wedding bar runs on a schedule: cocktail hour opens on time, the line clears before toasts, and last call lands where you planned it. Our team arrives about an hour early, dresses to your dress code, and works the timeline you already built.
We design a signature cocktail for each of you and build the rest of the menu — classics, frozen drinks, mocktails — around your guests, then leave the space spotless before we go.
Four hours is the default everywhere else; 74% of what we've priced ran exactly that, and a wedding is the event that outgrows it.
For a wedding bartender in Ives Estates the distance barely enters into it — about 9 miles east of where we load. The interesting questions are all about your wedding, and those are the ones we ask.
North Miami Beach sits about 2 miles from Ives Estates, with Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a wedding, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
There is no Ives Estates city hall to call — it is an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade. For a wedding that usually simplifies things: one county rulebook, plus whatever your community says about vehicles and hours.
The wedding bartender you book for Ives Estates arrives with everything the bar needs already on the truck: menu agreed in advance, kit checked before it leaves, and a crew that has run this setup across Miami-Dade often enough to know what the room will ask for.
The team is on site about 1 hour before service. For a wedding that hour is not padding — it is ice in the coolers, garnish cut, glassware laid out, and a bar standing finished before anyone photographs it.
The quickest way to learn what a Ives Estates wedding costs is to build it below — no call, no form-then-wait, and nobody standing between you and the figure.
About 1 hour before service. Over about 9 miles we leave with margin, because arriving early and waiting is a far better failure than arriving late.
We hold that arrival against your run sheet, so if the ceremony or the speeches move, the bar moves with them.
Not at all. North Miami Beach is about 2 miles from Ives Estates, with Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach close behind, and all of them price identically.
Give us the real address when you book and we plan the load-in around that rather than around the search term.
It follows the guest count and how long the bar stays open. The wizard on this page sizes it as you fill it in.
Half the bartending quotes we write are for 50 guests or fewer, which is usually one bartender working steadily.
We build the list with you rather than handing you one, and we will talk through exactly what goes in each drink. Tastings are arranged case by case — ask when you book.
Mocktails and frozen drinks sit on the same list as everything else, so guests who are not drinking are not an afterthought.
Often, if the crew's schedule allows it. Extra time is added at the same hourly rate rather than at a penalty rate.
It is worth deciding in advance where you want last call, because the hour people regret is almost always the last one.
Earlier than feels necessary. December is our heaviest month for bartending quotes — 13% of them — and weekend crews run out before dates do.
A 25% deposit holds it and stays refundable until 7 days out, so booking early costs nothing but a decision.
Hand-crafted in front of your guests — as beautiful as they are delicious.

Quick response, great prices, everything delivered was clean and brand new. Easy communication and overall and great experience
We had the pleasure of working with YD Cocktails for a recent corporate event on a yacht, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our 50+ guests. We ran into a few scheduling changes and last-minute adjustments on our end, and they were nothing but accommodating throughout the entire process. Their flexibility, communication, and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful situation feel seamless. The cocktails were fantastic, the service was exceptional, and our guests had an amazing experience and the food was phenomenal. We received so many compliments throughout the event. We can't thank the team enough for helping make our event such a success, and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Highly recommend!

Everything went very smoothly With the Chair Rental for our wedding They showed up when they were supposed to, and they left everything neatly stacked.
Awesome service! Equipment was top of the line and everything was delivered and picked up on time!
David thank you!!! Amazing service, quality chairs, and wonderful people to work with! I used them for an event, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. They arrived on time, set everything up smoothly, and made sure the entire process was stress-free. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and top-notch customer service truly stood out. It’s rare to find a company that is both reliable and genuinely caring about their clients’ experience. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again for future events!

I am super happy with the chair rental. You came at the right time and later came to pick up with perfect timing. Everyone was so impressed with your efficiency. I didn't have to get mismatched chairs from everybody's back yard!! I am so appreciative for that. Your price was excellent and I'll try to get some pictures for your website. Once again, thank you . 🙏🏻
Great experience, would highly recommend. Food was excellent.

Bartending starts at $85/hour per bartender with a 3-hour minimum. Most weddings book from cocktail hour through the last dance — the instant quote above prices your exact timeline and guest count.
Yes — we carry general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for your venue on request, which most venues ask for before your date is confirmed.
Longer than most events book. 74% of the bartending we've priced ran exactly four hours and 4 hours is the median — and a wedding is the event that breaks that number. Cocktail hour, dinner and dancing rarely fit inside it, and the hour people regret cutting is the last one. Price your real timeline rather than the number a friend paid for a birthday. If your reception genuinely ends at ten, four hours is right and you shouldn't pay for five.
We specialize in weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, private events, festivals, and more. We can accommodate any occasion where drinks are part of the celebration!
Absolutely! Our highly skilled bartenders can design a cocktail menu that matches your event theme or your personal tastes. We also have our signature cocktails that are sure to be hits at most events.
Absolutely, we can do mocktails as well as other soft drinks & juices if requested.
It takes about a minute — no calls, no waiting.

I will continue to use your services for many years to come. I commend you for running your business with the customer being a priority. Doing business with YD cocktails was a pleasure!
