Mrs. Mixologist LLC

What questions should customers think of before contacting a professional?

What kind of event you are hosting? Do you want a full bar? Limited cocktail menu? Only beer and wine? How many people will be at your event? Open bar or cash bar? Does your venue supply anything? (Glassware, ice, soft drinks/juices, beer fridge, coolers, etc)

What advice would you give a customer wanting to hire a provider in their area of work?

Make sure to hire someone energetic and fun. If your bartender is pumped, they will keep the crowd going all night.

How did you get started in this line of work?

I have been bartending for about a decade now. Most of my experience was learned at a high-paced, busy casino environment. I've worked concerts, VIP events, weddings, conferences, birthdays, banquets, special events, WSOP, casino floor, high rollers lounge, fine dining steakhouse...even on a moving train! I've got a wide variety of venue experience and have tended bar for just about any group of people.

What education or special training do you have that relates to your work?

I have almost a decade of training in various atmospheres. I have been ALE trained and certified. Certified in responsible serving in NC, TN, GA and SC. Licensed and Insured! Also servsafe certified as well as CPR certified.

What should the customer know about your pricing? (e.g. fees)

Every event is different, so it's hard to put down a couple lines for everything across the board.

I do charge an hourly rate and can accommodate to any requests for your event to the best of my abilities.

I do travel within a 3 hour radius of 28713, but can make exceptions for an additional travel fee.

I do have all the bar supplies and tools needed for your event. It is illegal for me to purchase and bring alcohol with me to your event though. I can bring mixers, fruit for garnish, cups, etc if needed, but will be discussed at time of contract.

I do require a signed contract and a $50 non refundable deposit to secure your event date.

What is your typical process of working with new customers?

Once contacted, with speedy response, I will let the client know if the day they are requesting is available. If so, I will go over fees, find out what all needs to be done, supplied, etc to hammer out all the fine details. Once I have all the details together, I will create a contact for myself and the client to sign. Once that is done, I will request a $50 non refundable deposit to secure your date and make sure no one else can book it. I will then stay in touch just to make sure all things are going as planned, along the way, until the event day comes.
