Frequently asked questions.
Does Dapper & Co supply alcohol?
No, we operate as a dry hire service, meaning you are responsible for providing the alcohol for your event. This approach offers a cost-effective alternative to relying on venue-provided bartenders and alcohol, potentially saving you a significant amount of money.
We’re happy to assist you in calculating the appropriate quantities of alcohol needed for your event to ensure a seamless experience. Additionally, depending on the store's policy, you may be able to return any unopened bottles for a refund.
How is gratuity handled?
We strive to make your event seamless and enjoyable for everyone. Gratuity can be handled in one of two ways:
Tip Jar on the Bar: Guests may show their appreciation directly by leaving tips.
Pre-Arranged Gratuity: If a tip jar isn't suitable for your event, gratuity can be included in your package cost and arranged privately.
How many bartenders do I need for my event?
Choosing the right number of bartenders ensures smooth service and happy guests at your event. At Dapper & Co Mobile Bartending Services, we recommend the following:
For parties of 75 or fewer guests: One bartender is typically sufficient to handle drink orders efficiently.
For events with 75–150 guests: We recommend two bartenders to maintain quick service and minimize wait times.
For large events with over 150 guests: Three bartenders or more may be necessary, depending on the complexity of your drink menu and the size of the crowd.
Our team can help you assess your guest count, event duration, and drink preferences to determine the perfect staffing level for your celebration.
