You can book us for private parties, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, corporate events, product launches, brand activations, festivals, hen and stag parties, and more. Whether you’re hosting a small intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, our bartenders adapt their service and style to suit the event’s mood, size, and guest list. We pride ourselves on making every event memorable, ensuring seamless drink service and entertainment throughout.

02

Do your bartenders bring their own equipment and ingredients?

Yes, our bartenders arrive fully equipped to handle every aspect of cocktail service. This includes professional bartending tools, stylish glassware, premium spirits, fresh ingredients, garnishes, mixers, and all necessities for crafting delicious drinks. We also provide ice and presentation details to ensure each cocktail looks and tastes outstanding. You don’t need to worry about sourcing supplies; our team takes care of setup and clean-up, allowing you to relax and enjoy your event.

03

Can I request a custom cocktail menu for my event?

Definitely. We specialise in designing bespoke drink menus tailored to your event theme, guest preferences, or branding needs. Whether you want signature cocktails, themed mocktails, or a curated list of classics, our mixologists work closely with you to create the perfect selection. We also cater for dietary requirements, including alcohol-free and low-sugar options, ensuring every guest has something to enjoy.

04

How long can I hire a bartender for?

Our bartender hire packages are flexible and can be tailored to suit your event schedule. You can book bartenders for a few hours for smaller celebrations or for full-day and evening events. Simply let us know your timetable and we’ll recommend a package that ensures uninterrupted service throughout your event.

05

Do you provide flair bartenders for entertainment?

Yes. Artender Events offers both traditional mixologists and flair bartenders. Flair bartenders add an exciting visual element with bottle spinning, tricks and bar-side performances, making them ideal for parties, brand launches and festivals. You can choose the service style that best suits your event or combine both for maximum impact.

06

How many bartenders do I need for my event?

The number of bartenders required depends on guest numbers, drink complexity and event duration. As a general guide, one bartender can comfortably serve around 40–50 guests for standard drink service. Cocktail-heavy events or high-volume service may require additional bartenders. We’ll always advise on the most suitable setup during your consultation to ensure smooth service without queues.
