What do bartending services include?
From martinis to cosmopolitans, you can rely on bartenders to shake things up. Alcoholic drinks are always an excellent addition to the menu for any occasion. You can even have someone cater cocktails for a fancier affair. Here are some services you can get when hiring bar staff:
Full-service bartending
Depending on the occasion, you can hire a full bartending service. They offer different packages depending on the size of your event. Complete services include the bartenders, barbacks, mixing, drinks, and serving equipment. Some services also have separate packages available if you want to provide the alcohol for your event. Some go to the lengths to plan a special menu of drinks for the occasion. Taskers will be in charge of setting up the bar, serving the drinks, and even cleaning up afterwards.
Planning the menu
You can add flair to any hospitality service with a customised menu. It is a good idea to hire someone who has attention to detail. Some cocktail bartenders for hire include menu planning to their services. This may consist of planning sessions and pre-event tasting. They can also customise menus based on speciality drinks, fresh and seasonal ingredients, and the theme of an event.
Choosing a mobile bar
A mobile bartender brings the party to any venue with a bar on wheels. You can have it set up at any location, like hotel function rooms or your backyard. You have the option to customise its look depending on the theme. It is an efficient option because of the many elements present on the bar. The panel bars and folding shelves of a mobile bar make it easier to serve guests their favourite cocktails during private events.
Mixing speciality cocktails and drinks
When hiring a cocktail bartender, you are usually after their skills and speciality drinks. You may need to provide the spirits, wine, and beer. You may also need to provide equipment for them although some choose to bring their own equipment. Professionals may speak with you in advance to advise you on what drinks to provide. It is essential to communicate what drinks you want to be served during your party or corporate event.

Bartender to make cocktails at 30th Birthday for 2 hours
$90
Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia
2nd Jul 2025
I’m needing 1x bartender to make a small variety of cocktails for a 30th Birthday from 4:30-6:30PM for approx 25 guests. All alcohol will be provided but I would also appreciate insight into how much and what types I will need for the cocktails. I’m looking for the bartender to be able to make 3 different cocktails and 1 mocktail, as well as serving wine and a clean of glassware at the end of service. We should be able to provide our own glassware but if you would be able to offer to BYO glassware that could be helpful. Thank you!
Caitlin was super punctual and efficient which I appreciated. The feedback I had from guests were the drinks were not the best. We did prep sugar syrup for the cocktails which wasn’t touched, so not sure if it was forgotten or maybe she was unaware it was there. Caitlin was very focused on getting drinks out as quickly as possible which was great, but wasn’t interested in chatting with guests when people were trying to make conversation.
