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 North Bay Village means about 13 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.
El Portal sits about 3 miles from North Bay Village, with Miami Shores and Surfside 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.
North Bay Village is a municipality in its own right, which for a private event mostly shows up as parking and curfew. Tell us what the venue has told you and the setup and breakdown get planned to fit inside it.
For a private event in North Bay Village we build the menu around your guests — classics, frozen drinks, mocktails, whatever the room will actually drink — then bring the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware that make it work.
You hold a North Bay Village date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the private event, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out — the same terms here as everywhere else we work.
If you are comparing options for a private event in North Bay Village, 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.
About 1 hour before service. Over about 13 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.
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.
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.
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.
Often, if the crew's schedule allows it. Extra time is added at the same hourly rate rather than at a penalty rate.
It is worth deciding in advance where you want last call, because the hour people regret is almost always the last one.
Price it here, then hold the date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the private event.
The deposit is fully refundable until 7 days out, and the date can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before.

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.

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.
It takes about a minute — no calls, no waiting.
