run the best bar in the room.

[ FAQ ]
Common questions
About the team.
Can we book bartenders alone, without the full mobile bar?
Absolutely. Staffing-only is one of our most common bookings — a venue's bar with our team running it, or a private home with our bartenders behind the host's own setup. We staff to the format.
What's the bartender-to-guest ratio?
It depends heavily on the event — the cocktail menu, guest count, service style and length all change the answer. Rather than quote a flat ratio, we advise on the right staffing for your event on the discovery call, based on exactly what you're hosting.
Do you provide uniforms?
Yes — a clean, presentation-ready WOA standard by default. We can also custom-uniform the team to match a brand activation, wedding palette, or venue aesthetic on request.
What if a staff member doesn't show up?
It rarely ever happens — our staff is highly professional and shows up prepared. But every event still has a designated Event Lead plus backup and on-call staff ready for emergencies. If a swap is ever needed, it happens behind the scenes; the host never feels it.
How far in advance do I need to reach out?
For larger events such as weddings, we can book up to a year in advance. We're also flexible with last-minute requests: full-service events can be booked with as little as 3 days' notice, and bartending staff-only services with as little as 24 hours' notice, depending on availability.
