Only fill in minors if you want mocktails (zero-alcohol cocktails) for kids, otherwise leave at 0.
Birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, holiday get-togethers — private events run on the host, not a wedding planner or a venue's banquet team. Your bartender arrives about an hour before service, builds a clean bar in your kitchen, patio, backyard or rooftop, and pours until the last toast.
Tell the quote your guest count and hours and it sizes the team automatically — one professional bartender for roughly every 60 guests — then prices the supplies you want us to bring, from mixers and ice to a full portable bar.
Ice is what houses run short of: 51% of what we price includes it, and 50% includes coolers to keep it in.
A private event in Miami means about 14 miles across the county for us. We plan the arrival backwards from your start time rather than forwards from ours, which is the entire reason your schedule survives contact with traffic.
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 private event 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 private event before you fix a start time; we will build the bar around whatever schedule it leaves you.
Booking a private event bartender in Miami starts from your timeline rather than ours — when doors open, when the food lands, when the bar goes quiet for speeches, and where last call should sit. The staffing and the menu are built around that.
Plans change. A Miami 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.
If you are comparing options for a private event in Miami, price this one first. It takes about as long as reading this paragraph and it hands you a real number to compare against instead of a range.
Yes — staffing scales with the headcount and the bar is built to match. For context, half the bartending quotes we write are for 50 guests or fewer, so a bigger room is a question of more hands and more ice rather than a different service.
Put the guest count and the timeline into the wizard and it prices the staffing for you.
Usually, and most of ours do. Let us know the surface and whether there is shade — a bar on grass and a bar on a patio are built differently.
Ice and coolers are portioned to your guest count either way, so the drinks stay cold from setup through to last call.
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 14 miles out as firmly as it does next door to the yard.
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.
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.
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!

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.

Bartending starts at $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum — about $255 for a small birthday or backyard gathering. The instant quote on this page prices your exact guest count, hours and venue in about a minute.
A professional portable bar, coolers, ice, mixers, fresh juices and garnish, cups, straws and napkins, and water and soft drinks are all available to add in the quote, along with the bartender. We also carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance if your building or HOA asks for one.
Ice, and something to keep it in. Across the bartending we've priced, 51% added ice and 50% added coolers — at a venue somebody has already thought about both, and at a house nobody has. They're line items, so put your real guest count in and the quote works out the quantities. If your freezer situation is genuinely handled, leave them off and the price drops.
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.
