Our Services & Pricing
-
We are licensed, certified and insured to serve alcohol and spirits.
95% of Mobile bars in the US are called a "Dry Hire" - Including us!! This is because the states make it illegal for us to purchase alcohol and sell it back to you. The fees you pay us go towards our labor, shopping, calculating, curating, prepping, batching and serving services.
We help you calculate "the what" and "how much" alcohol for the event to take the guess work out of it. Then you can buy your spirits in bulk. It’s actually cheaper this way!
The fees you will see below are for labor, mixers, garnishes, bars and extras. They can be mixed and matched like an a la carte menu!
The mixer packages allow us to source all of the specialty ingredients for classic and specialty cocktails.
The labor fee automatically includes us serving beer and wine no matter what other packages or extras you get. We will almost always assume that some sort of beer and wine will be served alongside any alcohol you may want.

More and More Caterers are either, not including Non Alcoholic Beverages in their packages; OR, they are not allowing access to water/tea/lemonade until the start of the reception. This leaves your guests extremely thirsty and looking to us for NA Beverages. *When we calculate your bar and mixer packages it is for Cocktails Only and does not include supplying a drink station for NA Beverages. Please ask us about adding extra Mixers as NA beverages for your guests for only 20% more.
This is Florida. Your guests are hot. Please set up a water station for your guests Before the Ceremony begins. We can do this for a small fee if you’d like us to. Just make sure to inquire!
Often times the Venue and the Event Coordinators disagree on how to handle garbage. Magnolia Mead and its staff do NOT remove garbage from the premises under any circumstances. As we are busy handling the needs of your guests, in some cases we may need help pulling our trash or changing out the bag if we are in the middle of service. Guest service comes before anything else. On this same note, we are also, NOT in charge of dishes! Please make sure you have this conversation with your wedding coordinator and the venue. Know what the rules are for the venue and who will be responsible for helping with trash disposal from the cans AND from the venue if necessary. If you need extra staff to help in this regard Magnolia Mead can hire extra labor to assist in the areas of cleanliness, dishes and taking trash to dumpsters that are on site ONLY.
