🍸 Frequently Asked Questions – Mobile Bartending Services in Brunswick County, NC
We’re here to make your event smooth, stylish, and stress-free. Below are answers to the questions we get asked most about our mobile bartending services throughout Shallotte, Ocean Isle Beach, Southport, and surrounding areas.
❓ 1. What does a mobile bartending service include?
Our mobile bartending packages typically include certified bartenders, bar tools, setup and cleanup of the bar area, cocktail menu planning, and liability insurance. Full-service options also include bar setups, disposables (cups, napkins, straws), coolers, and garnishes. Alcohol must be provided by the client due to North Carolina state laws.
❓ 2. Do you provide the alcohol?
No. North Carolina law does not allow mobile bartenders to sell or supply alcohol directly. However, we will provide a customized alcohol shopping list based on your chosen menu and guest count to make things easy.
❓ 3. Are your bartenders certified and insured?
Yes! All of our bartenders are ABC Bartending School Certified and our business carries general and liquor liability insurance through Canopy for your peace of mind.
❓ 4. What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve Brunswick County, NC, including Shallotte, Ocean Isle Beach, Southport, Leland, Calabash, Bolivia, Sunset Beach, and nearby areas. We may travel further for an additional fee.
❓ 5. What’s the difference between the Bartender-Only Package and Full-Service?
- Bartender-Only Package: You provide the alcohol and setup; we provide the bartender, tools, and service.
- Full-Service Bar Setup: You provide the alcohol; we handle everything else—bar, tools, ice, disposables, and presentation.
❓ 6. Can you create custom cocktails for my event?
Absolutely! We offer a Custom Cocktail Menu Consultation where we design 3–5 signature drinks based on your theme, flavor preferences, or color scheme. It’s perfect for weddings, birthdays, and branded events.
❓ 7. How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for weddings or events during peak seasons (spring, summer, holidays). Last-minute bookings are accepted based on availability.

- Themed Events: Starting at $1,000
Final pricing depends on guest count, hours, location, and any add-ons.
❓ 9. Do you offer services for themed events or costumes?
Yes! We love themed parties. Our team can dress in costume and design a themed bar setup with custom drinks, decor, and signage. Ask about our Themed Bartending Package.
❓ 10. What do I need to provide as the client?
You’ll need to provide:
- Alcohol (based on our shopping list)

We’ll take care of the rest, including insurance, bartending tools, and professional service.
