Do you provide the alcohol?

We supply everything needed to craft and serve drinks — including bartending tools, high quality plastic cups, napkins, straws, mixers, garnishes, and elegant bar setups — while clients purchase the alcohol separately.
-
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are both TIPS certified and insured mobile bartenders.
-
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we require a 50% to hold date of booking. This ensures your reservation is secured and allows us to prepare for your needs. The remaining balance will be due 4 weeks before event date.
-
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking your event at least 2-4 months in advance to ensure availability and to allow adequate time for planning and customization. Early bookings help us provide the exceptional service and attention to detail that your event deserves.
-
How much space do you need for the bar setup?
For our bar setup, we require a designated space measuring at least 4-6 ft. in width, 18-24 inches in depth, and 40-42 inches in height. This ensures ample room for our bar to be fully functional and allows us to provide seamless service for your event. Please ensure the space is level and easily accessible for setup.
-
Do you offer themed services or decor?
Yes, we absolutely offer themed services and decor tailored to your event, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision. From elegant bar setups to carefully curated drink presentations, we elevate your event with a touch of sophistication and style, leaving a lasting impression on your guests.
-
Do you charge a travel fee?
The Luxe Pour Affair applies a travel fee for events located more than 30 miles from our base location. This fee covers the additional time, transportation costs, and logistical efforts required to ring our services to your event. The exact fee will be calculated based on the distance and communicated during the booking process as we strive to provide seamless service wherever your event takes place.
-
How long does it take you to set up and clean up?
At The Luxe Pour Affair, our team typically requires 1-1.5 hours to set up our bar station before the event begins, ensuring every detail is perfectly arranged. After the event concludes, we allocate approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour for thorough cleanup of our station, leaving the space as we found it. These time frames allow us to deliver a seamless and professional service experience.
-
What is the booking process?
We believe that exceptional events begin with thoughtful planning and personalized service. Our booking process is designed to ensure a seamless and customized experience from start to finish:
1. Free Consultation: We start with a complimentary consultation to learn about your event vision, guest count, and preferred cocktail style. This helps us craft a personalized service package tailored to your unique needs.
2. Secure Your Date: After the consultation, a 50% deposit of the total service cost is required to secure your event date. Once the deposit is received, your booking is officially confirmed.
3. Event Planning Meeting: After booking, we’ll schedule a 30-minute planning session to discuss event logistics, bar setup details, signature cocktails, and a customized shopping list for alcohol and mixers. This ensures every detail is thoughtfully planned for a seamless, luxury bartending experience.
Let us bring sophistication, elegance, and unforgettable service to your special event. With The Luxe Pour Affair, every pour is crafted with care, precision, and a touch of luxury.
