BYO Cocktail Party

YOU SUPPLY THE ALCOHOL... WE SUPPLY THE SERVICE, GLASSWARE & BARWARE

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Our most popular service package to date.  These packages are where we supply the staff to make the cocktails and serve your drinks, glassware and barware. You simply supply the alcohol.  These packages include all the essential cocktail and general glassware for your party.  Just follow the 5 steps below for your BYO Party to begin!  If you are needing staff for your BYO wedding you need to check out the BYO Wedding Packages here.

Please note:  these packages are for partys for bar service only - not floor or table service and not for place-settings such in weddings.  If you are wanting floor service please contact us for a custom quote.  For BYO weddings with place-settings glassware please refer here.

Your service package is based on how many guests are attending and how many hours of actual bar service you require.

The service packages include

The Mixologists

These packages have the prep and post-pack down service already factored into them also.  Staff also serve your standard beer and wine at your event.

To book your BYO Party Package we require a $250 deposit AND completion of the booking form.

These packages are our fastest and best selling packages and we book out quickly weeks and months (for busy season) in advance.

We don't hold dates without deposits or payment. 

When you book and pay in full (only at time of booking) we give you 5% discount on these packages.

CHOOSE COCKTAILS

The fun stuff!

Now you have booked you then receive an email giving you access to view our cocktail menus.  Menus are only available to view once a booking has been made.

You can choose one of our set menus which have 6 different cocktails on each, or you can choose a "Pick n Mix" menu.

To choose from the "Pick n Mix" menu for an additional small cost.

Our set menus contain all the favourites... Espresso Martinis, Pornstars, Daiquiris, Cosmos, Spritzs, Margaritas and more!

RECEIVE SHOPPING LIST

Lets go shopping!

Once you have chosen your cocktail menu you then receive your shopping list.

Your shopping list details all the alcohol, mixes to make the cocktails and garnishes that you need to purchase.  We even detail how many bags of ice you need to make the cocktails.

If you have chosen a set menu you will have access to the shopping list automatically. If you have chosen a "Pick n Mix", the shopping list is sent to you via email within 48 hours.

GET READY TO PARTY!

Its time to get ready to party...but don't worry we have it all sorted.

Make sure you check the DIY Bar Setup checklist we sent you with the cocktail menus on how to setup your bar area.

Your glassware and any additional items you may have hired such as bar top tubs or trestle tables will arrive a day or two before your event (we confirm this with you week of the party).

And lastly staff will arrive to prepare the bar well ahead of time before your guests arrive.
