Q1: Do you provide the alcohol?
We are a licensed mobile bar service. We can operate under Iowa’s liquor laws to provide alcohol, or we can serve what you provide depending on your venue’s requirements.

Q2: What is included in your bartending packages?
Every package includes professional bartenders, bar setup, mixers, garnishes, ice, cups, napkins, and cleanup. We customize each event to fit your needs.

Q3: Do you offer a dry bar or alcohol-free option?
Yes! Our Dry Bar/Mocktail Package includes handcrafted mocktails, sodas, lemonades, teas, and other zero-proof drinks—perfect for schools, churches, corporate events, and family celebrations.

Q4: Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full liquor liability insurance and are fully compliant with Iowa state requirements. Bartenders are also Serve-Safe Certified and have taken iPact Trainings.

Q5: What areas do you serve?
We serve Des Moines and Central Iowa including West Des Moines, Ankeny, Ames, Waukee, Altoona, Johnston, Indianola, Pella, and Winterset. We also travel across the state for larger events.

Q6: How far in advance should I book?
This will depend on your specific event. Peak wedding season books fast (especially Saturdays May–October). We recommend securing your date at least 6–12 months in advance.

If you are booking at one of our exclusive venues, we can arrange your event very quickly.

When working off site, Iowa requires 30 days notice in order to obtain a liquor license. So be sure to plan ahead so everything can go off seamlessly!
