How Many Bartenders Do I Need for My Event?
Many different factors can play a role in how many bartenders you will need for your event or party. Typically, you will need 1 bartender for every 70 – 75 guests.
How Far in Advance Do I Have to Reserve Your Bartending Services?
We recommend reserving your date as soon as your event is confirmed. However, don’t be afraid to contact us at the last minute. Our team will do our best to accommodate your bartending service needs.
Do you carry Liquor Liability Insurance?

Do You Require a Deposit?
Yes, Cocktails 4 U will require a deposit upon acceptance of our proposal to provide services for your event.
Do You Charge a Gratuity on Your Invoice?
This depends on you. For fully hosted events, where you the host will provide drinks for your guests free of charge, we recommend a gratuity of 18% (which will be added to your invoice and paid to the bartenders). Cocktails 4 U will never keep the gratuities earned by our awesome staff. Using this plan, no tip jars will be displayed on the bar.
