Booking a wedding bartender here
Your wedding in Naranja, start to finish
Getting a bar to Naranja means crossing most of Miami-Dade, about 30 miles of it. We plan a wedding at this distance with an earlier load, an earlier departure, and a setup window that assumes something will go slowly.
Princeton sits about 2 miles from Naranja, with Leisure City and Goulds 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 Naranja 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 Naranja 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 Naranja wedding 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 Naranja wedding before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
How far will you travel for a Naranja wedding?
Naranja is about 30 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.
Princeton, Leisure City and Goulds are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
What do you need from a Naranja 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.
Can you design a custom menu for a Naranja wedding?
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 wedding?
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 Naranja wedding?
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.
What is included in a Naranja wedding booking?
The staff, the bar, and the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware behind it. Setup and breakdown are part of the booking rather than line items.
The drinks list is built with you — classics, frozen drinks and mocktails as the room needs — and the team is on site about 1 hour before service.
