Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. At ATX Bartenders, we want your event to be seamless from start to finish. Below are some of the most common questions we receive about our services, policies, and event setup so you know exactly what to expect when you book with us.
Do you provide the alcohol for events?
No, ATX Bartenders does not provide alcohol. We are a labor-only bartending service unless you purchase our Shopping Package, which includes alcohol pickup and supply runs customized to your event’s needs.
Do you bring cups, ice, or other party supplies?
We do not provide cups, ice, or additional supplies unless the Shopping Package is purchased with your event. With that package, we’ll handle all shopping and setup needs so you can relax and enjoy your celebration.
Do you check IDs at private events?
Yes. We check all IDs exactly as we would in a licensed bar or restaurant. ATX Bartenders follows all TABC compliance and responsible service standards to ensure a safe and professional experience for everyone.
How early do you arrive before the event starts?
We require a minimum of one (1) hour of setup time before your event begins. This ensures your bar is fully set up, stocked, and ready to serve as soon as guests arrive.
Do you charge travel fees?
Yes. Events located outside our 25-mile service radius are subject to a $2.50 per mile (round trip) travel fee.
Do you handle cleanup after the event?
We handle all basic bar cleanup and trash collection as part of every package. However, we do not provide trash disposal following the event.
Do you offer food or catering options?
Yes! We offer basic buffet-style catering for an additional fee, provided that setup is completed once we arrive. Please mention this when requesting your quote so we can plan accordingly.
Can you create a custom cocktail for my event?
Absolutely! We love crafting signature cocktails for weddings, parties, and special events. A custom cocktail design fee applies, which includes recipe development, taste testing (when available), and presentation suggestions to match your event theme.
What is your deposit and payment policy?
We require a 50% deposit at the time of booking to secure your event date. The remaining 50% is due upon arrival, before service begins.
What do your bartenders wear?
Our bartenders maintain a clean, professional appearance in black pants, black shirts, and black shoes—perfect for any type of event, from weddings to corporate functions.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes! We offer a discounted rate on event quotes when tips are allowed at your event. This helps reward our bartenders for providing excellent service.
Will there be photography at my event?
Yes, ATX Bartenders may take professional photos or short video clips during events for use on social media and promotional materials. If you prefer not to have any photos taken, just let us know before your event and we’ll happily accommodate.
