THE PROCESS
Booking:
With a hospitality-first mindset, we aim to offer flexibility with our pricing structure and ease of mind for organizers. With bartending services as our primary offering, organizers can select one of our several bar packages to fit their vision and their budgets.
Our pre-designed menu options allow for simplified service during themed events, while open bar packages allow the organizer freedom with their beverage choices. For all events we offer custom shopping lists to assist in the collection process.
Want to enhance your event with servers, DJ's, or social entertainers? We've curated a roster of experienced, Vancouver based talent that we have worked with and trust to bring your event to the next level.
We offer free consultations and custom quotes, send us an email and we'd love to discuss your event!

Before Your Event:
During the lead-up to your event, we will provide you with a custom shopping list to assist in purchasing everything you need to fulfill your vision. Any non-alcoholic ingredients and equipment required are agreed on during the booking process will be provided by the Bottoms Up Bartending team.
While working with Bottoms Up Bartending, you gain access to our community partnerships with local businesses to help you get the best value for stocking your event.
Depending on venue and your desired bar set-up, our team may request the opportunity to visit the venue ahead of time to create a seamless experience on the day. You can also request this from us to get a better vision for your event.
48 hours before your event you can expect an email confirming all the details that have been discussed, allowing for last minute changes.

Event Day:
On event day, the focus is on you and your guests. Bartending staff arrive 45 minutes prior to the event time to set up. If additional time may be needed, this will be discussed ahead of time.
Servers, social entertainers, and other staff are scheduled to start based on what is agreed during booking.
We minimize the need for you to make decisions day-of so you can focus on enjoying the event with your guests. It is important to us that you connect with your guests on the big day! Leave the work to us!

After Your Event:
The day after your event, you can expect a follow up email to touch base about your successful event. In this thank you email we provide the a final summary of your event, the final billing information including any outstanding balances, and the opportunity for you to provide feedback.
We want to work with you again, so we offer a returning client promotion for clients who rebook us within 2 years.
