Jason K. says, "I was throwing a party of 150 guest. I had everything but a bartender. Called all over searched the internet and ran across thumbtack. Put in what I was looking for and MMT Service popped up. In my head, I’m like, “what do I have to lose!” Sent MMT Service a message and they responded right back. The conversation my wife and I had on the phone with MMT Service went so well that I sent them the money right away! (Great Price by the way!) Believe me! You get MMT Service you’ll see what I mean when I say great price. MMT is now saved in my phone. But back to the subject. Before the party MMT Service called to see if there was anything that we needed and could not find that MMT Service may be able help with to make that party goes smoothly. I gave MMT Service a few items that I could not find and guess what!! MMT Service came through with everything I couldn’t find. The party is now starting. Started off a little slow. But once it picked up, it picked up! I was a little worried that they wouldn’t be able to handle it. Boy was I wrong! MMT Service was on it. What made me know that MMT Service was on it, was my guest. They were coming up to my wife and I asking where did we get them from. Laughing, smiling, and giggling all over themselves talking about “the bartenders is the shit!” When I turned and really paid attention to the party. The party was REALLY A PARTY! MMT Service did so well that the catering company wanted to go into business with them. That’s impressive to me. So MMT Service continue doing what y’all do. My wife and I will be seeing y’all again. I wish y’all the best of luck and thank you for making the party a much better party then what I expected. (MMT SERVICE)"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

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.

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. Get in touch with a few bartenders near you and request a free estimate — it’s the only way to get an accurate idea of how much private bartending services will cost you.

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

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.
