Questions we get every week.

No — bartending and alcohol have to stay separate, so you purchase the alcohol yourself. That said, you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll build you a shopping list with exact quantities based on your guest count and menu, so you’re not guessing in the liquor store aisle or overbuying by three cases.

They don’t — but we offer three mixer packages starting at $400 that cover everything your cocktails need at a much better rate than sourcing it yourself. Red Bull and ginger beer are the two exceptions and are always purchased separately.

Yes, and it’s one of our most popular. The mocktail and dirty soda package is $500 and includes up to four signature zero-proof drinks. It works beautifully for school dances, church events, kids’ birthdays, baby showers, dry weddings and corporate functions. We’re happy to build a custom version for any event serving non-alcoholic drinks.

Yes. Every bartender working an event is licensed and insured under Raise The Bar Events. We take real pride in that, and we’re happy to send proof of insurance and licensing directly to your venue — most venues require it, and we’d rather hand it over before you have to ask.

Absolutely — it’s genuinely our favorite part of the job. We’ll build drinks around your personality, your colors, your story or your theme, name them whatever you like, and print them on a custom bar menu for the night.

We arrive about an hour before service starts and stay 30 to 60 minutes after to break down. That time is already built into your package, so it doesn’t eat into your three hours of serving. If your venue needs us earlier or your timeline runs long, we can work that out ahead of time.

Happily. We’re based in Owasso and cover the Tulsa metro and most of northeastern Oklahoma with no travel charge. Venues an hour and a half or more out carry a $150 travel fee, which covers expenses and the bartenders’ drive time. Send us the venue address and we’ll confirm either way.

Yes. Specialty cups, napkins and straws run $300, and upgraded garnishes — dried citrus wheels, cherries, mint sprigs, rosemary — are $150. Custom menus are included with every package. Between those, we can match nearly any color palette or theme.

A $100 deposit at booking holds it. That deposit is non-refundable, and the remaining balance is due before the event on the date set in your agreement. Popular Saturdays in spring and fall go early, so if you have a date in mind it’s worth asking sooner rather than later.

Pay a deposit

Cancellations need to be in writing, by email. More than 90 days before the event, you’re refunded what you’ve paid less the deposit. Under 30 days before the event, no refund is issued. Your signed agreement has the full terms — if your date falls somewhere in between, talk to us.

If we ever have to cancel on you — severe weather, unsafe conditions — you get a full refund, deposit included.

We do, two ways. There’s a photography studio with props, décor and furniture included, and a meeting and gathering space for showers, meetings, birthdays and small receptions. Both build setup and cleanup time into the booking rather than charging you for it.
