Packages start from $400 (Essential), $600 (Signature), $800 (Premier), and $1000 (Full Experience), plus a dedicated Quinceanera and XV package from $1200. Each ladder package is a flat service fee with full setup and breakdown; mixers, fresh garnish, and ice are billed at our cost. Staffing is sized to your event.

Q: What drives the final price?

Three things shape your final quote: your guest count, the number of hours of service, and which package tier you choose. Tell us your date and details and we send a clear, itemized quote.

Q: How does BYOB save money?

Because the bar is BYOB, you buy your own alcohol at retail and we never mark it up, which is where most of the savings come from. You also supply the serviceware. We bring the bartenders, tools, and ice, and bill any cocktail mixers and garnishes at our cost.

Q: How much is the deposit?

A 20% deposit, calculated on your service fee, with a minimum of $100 secures your date. The deposit applies toward your service fee, and a signed contract confirms the booking.

Q: Is there a processing fee?

Yes. A 4% flat processing fee applies to all bookings regardless of payment method, to cover payment handling costs. We accept card and cash.

Short answer: mobile bartending with Palm Beach Cocktails starts from $400 as a flat service fee, staffed to fit your event. You bring the alcohol, and we never mark it up. Below is exactly what is included, what drives the final number, and how the deposit and fees work.

The Full Bar Spec

Full bar is available on the Full Experience package. You supply five core spirits: vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and whiskey or bourbon. We bring the complete mixer and garnish station: club soda, tonic, cola, ginger beer, lemon lime soda, Red Bull, cranberry, orange, pineapple, lime and lemon juice, simple syrup, grenadine, and bitters, plus lime, lemon, orange, olives, cherries, and mint. That covers standard call drinks, your signature cocktails, and beer and wine.

What Drives Price

Three Things Shape Your Quote

Guest Count

More guests means more service, so your guest count is the biggest factor in the final number. Tell us your headcount and we build the quote around it.

Hours of Service

A four-hour party and an all-evening reception are different jobs. The number of hours you need adjusts the quote accordingly.

Tier & Add-ons

Moving up from Essential to Signature, Premier, or Full Experience adds drinks, simple mixed drinks, and a full bar. Staffing is sized to your event, so larger crowds are covered by the crew we bring, not billed per bartender.

Every event is quoted individually from these factors, then sent to you as one clear, itemized number - no hidden line items, no guesswork.

Why BYOB

BYOB Is Where You Save

You buy your own alcohol at retail and we never mark it up - the single biggest way to keep the cost down - and you supply the serviceware (cups, glassware, napkins, straws, and utensils). We bring the bartenders, bar tools, and ice, and provide mixers and fresh garnishes for cocktail packages, billed at our cost. You pay for great service, not a liquor markup.
