Questions, answered.
Planning a wedding? The wedding FAQ covers bartenders, signature cocktails and more.
Is there a minimum?
No minimum guest count. We run everything from 20-person office toasts to festival crowds. Bar service has a 2-hour minimum.
Can I supply my own alcohol?
No. We supply the alcohol along with the licence, ice, garnishes and staff, so there's nothing for you to buy, chill or haul.
Do you provide food or catering?
Yes, light fare trays: fruit, veggie and cheese, $75 each, each serving 15 to 20 guests. Add them to your bar service or book the trays on their own.
Can you run more than the bar?
Yes. For festivals and larger events we can manage full event operations, including site plans, permits and staffing.
How do I secure my date?
A non-refundable deposit holds your date. For weddings and private events on an open bar, the balance is due 60 days before. Company events can pay the balance after the event, net 15. If you need to reschedule, reach out as early as possible and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Do you travel outside Halifax?
Yes. We're based in Halifax and work events all over Nova Scotia. Outside Halifax, one flat travel fee covers our team's travel and accommodations, and it's listed on your quote.
