Bartenders for weddings, parties & functions

Book bartenders for a wedding reception, birthday party, engagement celebration or corporate function. Our team works with hosts, caterers and venue staff to follow your event brief and keep the bar organised.

Tell us about your venue, service times and beverage menu so we can recommend staff suited to the occasion.

Choose your bar service

Standard Bartender: select this option on our Contact Us form for beer, wine and straightforward beverage service.

Cocktail Bartender: select this option for cocktail preparation. Share your menu, expected guest numbers and bar setup so we can scope the team.

Need both? Select both roles and describe each bar or service area in your enquiry.

How many bartenders do you need?

The right number of bartenders depends on your guest count, drinks menu, number of bars and service schedule. Cocktails, multiple drink stations and busy arrival periods may require a larger team.

When requesting a quote, tell us:

  • Your estimated guest numbers

  • Whether you need beer and wine service, cocktails or both

  • How many bars or beverage stations will operate

  • The event start and finish times, including setup needs

  • Whether you also need wait staff or tray service

We can recommend a team based on your event brief and confirm the staffing arrangement with your quote.
