Terms & Conditions

1. Our Services

We provide custom mobile bar rentals using our tap trailer for weddings, private parties, corporate events, birthdays, festivals, and more. A rental includes the mobile bar trailer, keg setup, bartenders if bartender service is added, basic glassware or disposables, and any agreed-upon drink packages or customization. The exact scope of your event is confirmed in your written quote or booking agreement.

2. Quotes and Estimates

Pricing is custom and depends on the event duration, location, and services selected. The "Build Your Mobile Bar" tool on our website is a planning aid only and does not provide a price or create a booking. A quote is not a guarantee of availability until your date is confirmed under Section 3. Quotes are based on the information you give us and may change if your event details change.

3. Booking and Deposit

Your event date is reserved only after we receive a signed booking agreement (if provided) and your non-refundable deposit of 25%. Dates are held on a first come, first served basis. We recommend booking at least 90 days in advance if your date is flexible, and up to 6 months in advance for peak months. Full payment is due no later than 14 days before the event date.

4. Payment

We accept Venmo or Zelle. Late or failed payments may result in a hold on your date or cancellation of your booking. Additional charges may apply for added hours, extra services, or travel outside our main service area, and will be agreed with you in advance where possible.
