FAQs

From the moment you book, we’ll provide a customized plan for your event. We begin with a consultation to capture every detail of your event’s theme and priorities. From there, we’ll guide you through selecting the bar package that best suits your needs and help you create a shopping list for alcohol. If appropriate, we’ll craft a customized drink menu based on the host’s preferences.

We provide all mixers and bar tools—including wine keys, bottle openers, fruit trays, shakers, straws, napkins, quality plastic drinkware, ice, and fruit garnishes. Roaming Spirits is a dry hire bar, meaning we do not transport alcohol; we supply only the services and equipment needed to serve at your event.

We can create a custom package for you that does not include bar transport.

Due to insurance requirements, Roaming Spirits must be the sole provider of alcohol service on the premises.

Additionally, we will check IDs and only serve guests who are of legal drinking age. If any guests are found with personal alcohol or are caught supplying alcohol to underage individuals, we reserve the right to terminate service and the contract immediately.

Due to our liquor liability policy and the legal responsibilities associated with serving alcohol at open bar events, we do not serve straight liquor to guests. Our top priority is the safety of both guests and the venue, and given the duration of most events, it is our responsibility to serve alcohol responsibly. Additionally, many venues prohibit the service of shots, and we adhere to those guidelines.

Have you ever heard the quote, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”? Our staff is the embodiment of that philosophy. Each member has a minimum of 10 years of experience in hospitality and bartending. We take the craft of mixology and bartending very seriously. Our team is professional, fun, and uniquely talented—always committed to making guests feel special and ensuring your event is truly unforgettable.

As a general guideline, we recommend one bartender for every 50–75 guests when serving a full bar with beer, wine, and mixed cocktails. For beer and wine only, one bartender can typically serve 75–120 guests. If you’re offering made-to-order specialty cocktails, it’s best to have one bartender for every 20–40 guests to ensure a smooth and elevated experience.
