Quick answers
What do people ask before booking?
Short answers, no clicking needed.
How much does a bartender cost for a wedding?
$995 for 100 guests (4 hrs, 2 bartenders, mixers and ice included), $1,450 for 150 guests, or $45/hr per bartender for staff only.
Do I need a bartender at my wedding?
Not legally at a private event, but the AGCO recommends Smart Serve certified servers — and it keeps your family off bar duty.
How many bartenders do I need for 100 guests?
Two. We staff 1 bartender per 75 guests: 1 up to 75, 2 up to 150, 3 up to 225.
Do you tip a bartender at a wedding?
Either a tip jar or 18%. Weddings booked without a tip jar have an 18% gratuity added to the invoice.
Do I need to supply my own alcohol?
Yes. You supply the alcohol; we handle everything poured around it. How much to buy.
Do I need a Special Occasion Permit (SOP)?
Only at a rented venue without its own liquor licence. Serving invited guests at home or another private place needs no permit (AGCO).
How much is a Special Occasion Permit in Ontario?
$50/day for a private no-sale permit. Apply on iAGCO at least 10 days before an indoor private event.
Can you make a signature cocktail named after us?
Yes. Every bar package includes a custom drink menu and a printed bar menu sign.
Do you do mocktail or dry bars?
Yes — dry weddings, showers, all-ages parties and work events. Mocktail bars.
How do I lock in my date?
30% non-refundable deposit — for bar packages and staff-only bookings. The balance is due before your event.
What if my event runs longer?
$125 per extra hour on any bar package, or $45/hr per person for staff only.
Do you run cash bars?
No. We work private events where the host supplies the alcohol for guests. We don't sell drinks or run cash bars.
