Key Biscayne weddings
How we run a Key Biscayne wedding
Running a wedding bartender out to Key Biscayne is about 20 miles southeast of work before the bar is even built. That is our side of the arrangement and not yours — but it is why we would rather have your venue details a week out than an hour out.
Measured from the middle, Key Biscayne is about 6 miles from Miami, and further still from Coral Gables and Miami Beach. Access is what we work out first: where the truck stops, how far the kit travels from it, and who opens the door.
Key Biscayne runs its own book on events — permits, curfews, park bookings, what may be put up in a public space. Ask your venue which of those touch a wedding before you fix a start time; we will build the bar around whatever schedule it leaves you.
What you actually book for a Key Biscayne wedding is a licensed, insured team, a bar that photographs well, and a drinks list built with you rather than handed to you. What you do not book is a stranger who turns up and asks where the ice is.
You hold a Key Biscayne date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the wedding, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out — the same terms here as everywhere else we work.
The quickest way to learn what a Key Biscayne wedding costs is to build it below — no call, no form-then-wait, and nobody standing between you and the figure.
How far will you travel for a Key Biscayne wedding?
Key Biscayne is about 20 miles from where we load, and we cover the whole of Miami-Dade. The distance shapes our morning, not your rate — bartending is $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum.
Miami, Coral Gables and Miami Beach are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
What do you need from a Key Biscayne venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a wedding 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.
Do you clean up after a Key Biscayne wedding?
Breakdown is part of the booking — the bar comes down, everything returns to the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
That holds at about 20 miles out as firmly as it does next door to the yard.
Do you cater to guests who are not drinking?
Always. Bottled water, soft drinks and a proper mocktail or two are part of how we build a wedding menu, not an afterthought bolted on at the end.
Portions are worked out from your total headcount, so nobody is counting cups at the end of the night.
What happens if my Key Biscayne wedding 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 wedding in Key Biscayne 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.
