Renting a mobile bar for your wedding can add a personalized and unforgettable touch to your big day. But before you book one, here are five things to keep in mind to ensure everything runs smoothly.

1. Know What’s Included Not all mobile bars are the same. Some offer full service with bartenders, alcohol, mixers, and glassware. Others, like The Cordial Hound, offer dry-hire options, where you provide the alcohol, and they supply the setup, tools, and service.

2. Understand Your Guest Count A good mobile bar will help you calculate how much alcohol and how many bartenders you’ll need based on your guest count. Typically, 1 bartender per 50 guests is ideal.

3. Check Venue Rules Before booking, double-check that your venue allows mobile bar services and if there are any restrictions on alcohol service or vehicle access.

4. Personalize Your Menu One of the best parts of renting a mobile bar is offering signature cocktails. Create drinks that reflect your personality or theme.

5. Book Early Mobile bars are in high demand! Especially during wedding season. Secure your date early to avoid disappointment!
