How will i know if the mobile bar works in my yard?
Social Spirits: The trailer needs to be able to be towed in, with a 10 ft clearing. We do a site visit prior to the event to determine the best location for towing and parking. The trailer has its own self contained generator and water so it is free standing.
What do I need to provide for grazer set up?
Grazer Tables: We bring everything except plates, napkins and plasticware for guests. We find that many guests like to buy those things on their own to go long with their theme, so we leave that part up to you! We will return the day after your event to pick up our non-disposable & decorative items. We require a kitchen island, large dining table, or 2 8ft folding table.
Can my guests have mocktails instead of cocktails?
Yes, drink packages are fully customizable.
Can you make my event themed?
We have a standard tablescape that we provide, but if you would like a custom tablescape it is $18 per guest.
