05 / NO LOOSE ENDS
A few things
worth knowing.
Is the service estimate a final quote?
No. Starting package prices come from the supplied guide. Extra hours, staffing, travel, add-ons, minimums and tax treatment need confirmation. Your written proposal establishes the actual service scope and price.
Who purchases the alcohol?
You do. The Shady Bartender operates on a dry-hire basis: the client provides alcohol. Package details include an alcohol consultation and shopping list. The drink planner is an approximate purchasing aid, separate from service charges.
What does the venue need to provide?
Share the location, access arrangements, setup space, service times, and any venue requirements in your inquiry. Power, water, loading access, equipment, and setup timing should be agreed for your particular event.
How do I reserve a date?
Start with an event inquiry. Availability, booking terms, deposits, cancellations and the final service plan must be confirmed directly. Using this preview does not reserve a date.
