Vered was fantastic in her role of bartender at our NYE party. She is kind, fun to talk to and extremely well organised. She provided great communication and advise in advance of the event, arrived on time, provided fantastic service and was just a great all rounder. I simply cannot recommend her services enough. Would definitely use her again for future parties.

Wow. Vee helped us out for our wedding ceremony and she went above and beyond for everything. She called beforehand to check in, she followed up before the event, she arranged an INCREDIBLE cheese platter and ensured our guests had a full drink in their hands at all times. She even helped with clean up. All our guests remarked on how amazing she was. Thank you Vee!

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: Â
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.Â
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.Â
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/Hospitality Assistant for Party
$200
Brunswick West VIC, Australia
21st Mar 2024
Hi there I’m throwing a party for around 40-50 guests. We would love some help with: - setting up and running a bartending station (pouring wines and making a small number of cocktails); - serving guests; - help with setting up for the party beforehand; - doing some light cleaning/tidying up as the party progresses; - generally keeping the party running smoothly; - providing a shopping list and having a prep discussion in the lead up to the night. Our offer assumes 1 hour prep before the party so you can setup and get the bar ready. And therefore the time of the job is 4.5 hours — from 6.30pm to around 11pm. Happy to pay you for any extra time if needed. Preference for airtaskers with hospitality and private party hosting experience. Thanks!
Vee is a brilliant bartender. She ran the bar so smoothly and made great cocktails for our party. Our friends had such a lovely evening and so many commented on what a great host Vee was.
