Questions

Everything we get asked, answered first.

Wait, you don't bring the alcohol?

Correct. Shaken, Not Stirred is a dry-hire mobile bar service: you (or your venue) supply the spirits, wine, and beer. You buy at retail or Costco prices instead of paying venue markups, and we carry the pouring license and the liability insurance, so you own the inventory and we keep it legal. We bring everything else:

  • The bar and the bartenders
  • All glassware, mixers, and garnishes
  • Fresh juices, syrups, and ice
How does pricing work?

Every event is quoted after a quick conversation, so the price fits your date, guest count, and what you want poured. What's always included:

  • Mobile bar setup and breakdown
  • Professional bartenders
  • All glassware, mixers, garnishes, and ice
  • Signature cocktail consultation, with printed menus
  • Liability insurance
Do you travel? What about travel fees?

Our core area covers most of the region, and there is no travel fee inside it.

  • No travel fee: Lake Tahoe (both the California and Nevada sides), Reno, Truckee, and the Carson Valley
  • Further afield (Mammoth, Sacramento, the Yosemite area) is absolutely doable
  • For those, we quote travel and lodging separately during your consultation
How does booking work? How fast do you respond?

Fill out the inquiry form below. It takes about 60 seconds.

  • Stacey personally responds within 24 hours, usually same-day, by text and email
  • If your date is open, we send a contract and lock it in with a 50% deposit
  • The remaining 50% is due two weeks before your event
  • Deposits are non-refundable
What about insurance and licensing?

We carry full liability insurance and hold the pouring license required for dry-hire mobile bar service.

  • $1M general liability insurance
  • Pouring license in Nevada, California, and Arizona
  • Certificate of insurance provided for your venue ahead of the event
Can you design signature cocktails for our event?

Yes. That's one of our favorite parts.

  • We talk through the vibe, your love story (for weddings) or your company brand (for corporate), and any cocktails you already love
  • We suggest 2–4 signatures and tweak them to your taste
  • We print the menus and have them ready when your guests arrive
  • Stacey has 10+ years behind the bar and a deep cocktail library to draw from
What's the minimum and maximum event size you take?

Minimum is intimate. We'll happily do a 20-person backyard celebration.

  • Up to about 150 guests on a single bar with our standard setup
  • 200+ guests, we add bartenders and extra bar stations
  • Reach out with your specifics. Almost everything is doable with enough lead time
How far in advance should I book?

It depends on the season and the kind of event.

  • Weddings, especially May–October: 6–9 months ahead is ideal
  • Corporate events and private parties: 4–8 weeks is usually plenty
  • Sooner than that, even inside two weeks, still ask. We can often take short notice in shoulder season
