What Miami hosts get
The bar we build for a Miami celebration
Miami is about 14 miles southeast of our Hialeah yard: far enough that a celebration here gets its drive written into the run sheet, close enough that the drive is never the story of the day.
The nearest other place we serve is Miami Beach, about 4 miles from Miami center to center, then El Portal and North Bay Village. For a celebration that makes the arrival window worth setting deliberately, since guests coming across from those have a real journey to make.
Miami 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 celebration before you fix a start time; we will build the bar around whatever schedule it leaves you.
Booking bartending services in Miami covers the whole shift — setup, service, and a breakdown that leaves the space as we found it. You are hiring the people and the equipment, not renting an hourly rate.
Setup starts roughly 1 hour ahead of your start time, and we hold that against your run sheet rather than our own. If the ceremony, the speeches or the entrance move, the bar moves with them.
You can have a price for your Miami celebration before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
Do you do celebrations in Miami?
Yes, and it is one of the things we are booked for most. Miami is about 14 miles southeast of our Hialeah base, and a celebration here runs on the same kit and the same crew as anywhere else in the county.
You can price yours in the wizard on this page before speaking to anyone.
What do you need from a Miami venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a celebration 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.
Can you design a custom menu for a Miami celebration?
That is how we normally do it — the list is built around what your guests will actually drink, mocktails and frozen drinks included.
The mixers, juices, garnish and ice to run it arrive with the bar, portioned to your headcount.
Can we taste the cocktails before the celebration?
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.
When should the bar open at a Miami celebration?
Usually as guests arrive, and then it follows your run sheet from there — quiet for the speeches, busy again afterwards.
Tell us the shape of the evening and we will staff the peaks rather than spreading the same crew flat across the night.
How do I book a celebration in Miami?
Price it here, then hold the date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the celebration.
The deposit is fully refundable until 7 days out, and the date can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before.
