Nika C. says, "My husband and I hired Terri as an wedding officiant/day-of-coordinator for our commitment ceremony. From the first day we spoke on the phone up until the day of our ceremony, Terri was very attentive, organized, and very adamant in making all of our concerns/needs her first priority. She was also very quick to respond any time we needed something or to communicate to our other vendors, despite her busy schedule. On our ceremony day, Terri and her assistant were so attentive to ourselves, our guests, and vendors, her ceremony script was beautiful, and they went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly the entire day. It was so nice because all my husband and myself had to do was just relax and enjoy ourselves. And all of our guests had so much fun as well! Thank you very much again to Terri and her assistant, Minami, for making our special day that much more special and magical! If you are looking to hire a wedding officiant/coordinator, I would definitely recommend Terri Ties the Knot!"See more

Candice S. says, "I had Smoking Gun as my bartenders at my bachelorette party and I can say it’s the best decision I made for the night. Luke was beyond amazing! He came with his own set up and dressed in all black and was very professional. I had a big party with about 30 girls, every one of them still to this day talks about Luke and the vibe he brought to the party. He took the party to a completely different level. His personality went perfect with my girls. We had a signature drink that he helped come up with and the drinks were flowing and everyone was drunk and having a blast. He even interacted with everyone and even stayed late to help me clean up and interact with the guests. I have no idea what I would of done without him! I will book them in the future for anything else that I need! I highly recommend Luke and Smoking Gun Bartending. Thank you again for an unforgettable night!"See more

How much does it cost to hire a bartender for a private party?

Hiring a bartender for a private party typically costs between $270 and $390 in total. On an hourly basis, expect to pay at least $40 to $60 per hour, as well as a flat fee. How much you’ll pay, however, depends on the time of year or day, the size of the party and other factors.

Check out “How much does it cost to hire a bartender?” to learn more about the cost factors.

How do I find a good bartender?

Put some time on your calendar to research and compare top-rated bartenders near you online. Start by looking at their ratings and services. For example, some bartending services will provide a waitstaff, glassware, ice, coolers, food and more.

Next, look at their photos of past events and read the customer reviews. Find feedback on the bartenders’ services. Did they offer fair pricing? Did they show up on time to set up? Did they bring all of the appropriate drinks, cups, supplies and decorations? Did they interact politely with the party guests and provide a pleasant overall experience? And did they do the agreed-upon cleanup afterward?

Narrow down your top choices, and start contacting the bartenders. Ask for cost estimates for your event, and tell them how many people will be attending, what type of event it is and what services you require. You should also ask them questions about their experience.

Bartenders may need a license in your state, county or city to work at a private party. Make sure they’re properly certified before you hire anyone.

Do bartenders need to be licensed?

Certain counties, cities and states may require licensing. Check your local government’s regulations before starting your search.

In many cases, you might want to choose a bartender who has a license and/or certification. If you’re considering hiring a bartender for an upcoming event or a special occasional, check their online profiles to find out what credentials they have. If you can’t find the information online, don’t hesitate to ask them directly when requesting to receive free estimates.
