All the info you need to successfully hire a bar
We have been specialising in bar hire and bar management for 6 years under Bars by Design, providing various bar services for corporate functions, charity balls, wedding receptions, product launches, weddings and large outdoor festivals. There are so many variables involved in events that we wanted to provide a forum that would be more interactive and social rather than simply sales led - so that we could give you the benefit of our experience and give you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you want to. Hence this website!
So please share your questions and party stories with us - we will post one (our Dragon’s Den exprience…) to get the ball rolling!
We have included lots of tips and advice on how to go about hiring a bar service for your party and have also included our best of the best contacts - companies and people we have actually worked with and experienced first hand. As you can tell, we firmly believe in sharing knowledge and will continue to add great info as we get it so subscribe to our RSS feed to be updated by clicking here.
You can respond on any one of the category pages at the bottom of this site, or send an email to info@barsbydesign.co.uk. If you would prefer to chat about your event bar please phone us on 0845 241 7031.
Scott Collier: – (www.scottcollier.co.uk) this photographer is fab and offers a couple of great new services that will make your day even more spectacular.
How many cocktails is a good number: no more than 6, and I usually recommend 4. This is because of the pre-prep required, the effect too much choice can have on the quality of service and the number of ingredients you will need to pay for.
A mobile bar for a minimum of 100 people needs to be at least 4m in length otherwise service will be slow - and no-one likes to wait for their drink!
