Frequently Asked Questions

A dry hire bartender provides full, professional bar service without supplying the alcohol. Due to liquor laws in Ontario, clients are responsible for purchasing the alcohol, but we take care of everything else.

This includes professional, Smart Serve–certified bartenders, bar setup and breakdown, custom cocktail menu creation, mixers, garnishes, ice planning guidance, bar tools, napkins, and smooth, responsible service throughout your event. We also provide a detailed, stress-free shopping list tailored to your guest count and drink menu, so you’ll know exactly what to purchase and in what quantities.

In short, you supply the alcohol — and we handle the rest to ensure a seamless, elevated bar experience for you and your guests.

We recommend booking at least two months in advance to ensure availability and allow time to plan for your specific event needs. However, we may be able to accommodate bookings with shorter notice — just reach out to us to check availability.

Due to liquor laws in Ontario, we are not permitted to provide the alcohol for events. However, we make the process completely stress-free by supplying a detailed, easy-to-follow shopping list tailored to your guest count and drink menu, so you’ll know exactly what (and how much) to purchase.
