Bar Service
The bar is part of the experience, not a separate decision. We help shape the choices around the mood of your celebration, the meal you are serving and the value that matters to you.
Beer & wine service
Depending on guest count and venue, one to four bartenders tend one or two bars. The team handles setup, chilling and cleanup, with coolers and ice for chilling and serving.
- Bar supplies include cocktail napkins, stirrers, bitters and sugar.
- We can guide wine and beer quantities using guest count and time of year.
- We provide liquor liability insurance as required by the venue and guidance on applicable permits.
Full bar
Full bar service builds on the beer and wine foundation, adding standard mixers: Coke, Diet Coke, ginger ale, tonic, club soda, cranberry juice, bitters and sugar cubes.
Two ways to make it yours.
Basic signature cocktails
One spirit and one additional ingredient make for efficient preparation: a gin and tonic, bourbon and cola, Scotch and soda, or tequila and margarita mix. There is no additional Holly Tate service charge for this signature type; clients cover spirits and mixers beyond the standard package.
Restaurant-quality cocktails
For a cocktail reception, consider classics and modern favorites such as a whiskey sour, cosmopolitan or paloma. Fresh citrus, cooked flavored syrups, special ingredients and garnishes give these drinks their character.
In the morning, the team prepares the juices, syrups and other nonalcoholic ingredients. On site, bartenders combine them with client-purchased spirits, pour over fresh ice and garnish each drink.
