Kendall West private events
What a Kendall West private event actually involves
Kendall West is a real drive from us, about 18 miles southwest. For a private event that matters in exactly one way: we settle your access, parking and load-in before the truck leaves, because sorting it out on arrival costs a distance we have already spent.
Kendale Lakes sits about 2 miles from Kendall West, with The Hammocks and Tamiami following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a private event, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
Kendall West is an unincorporated area rather than a city of its own, so county rules cover your private event and the tighter restrictions come from the venue or the HOA. We ask about both before the truck is scheduled.
The private event bartender you book for Kendall West 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.
Plans change. A Kendall West private event can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before the date, which is the part of the terms people most often end up needing.
You can have a price for your Kendall West private event before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
What time do you arrive for a private event in Kendall West?
About 1 hour before service. Over about 18 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.
What do you need from a Kendall West venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a private event that is usually the whole of it, and knowing it in advance is the difference between a calm setup and a scramble.
We will also ask what surface the bar sits on and whether there is cover, since both change the build.
How many bartenders for a Kendall West private event?
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.
What if my Kendall West guests want something not on the menu?
Within reason the bar can handle it — the mixers, juices and garnish we bring cover a good deal more than the printed list.
If there is a drink that really matters to you, tell us early and we will make sure the ingredients are on the truck.
What happens if my Kendall West private event runs late?
We would rather stay and clear the bar down properly than leave a job half finished, and the crew plans for the evening rather than for the minute.
Anything beyond the booked hours is agreed on the night and charged at the ordinary hourly rate.
How much does a private event in Kendall West cost?
From $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum, around $255 at the floor. The hours, the guest count and what you have us bring do the rest.
