Caterers serve food, we serve experiences. At Smims Mixology, bartending is our main focus, not a side hustle. We bring the energy, craft unforgettable cocktails, and turn your bar into a moment your guests won’t forget.
You buy the alcohol, we'll handle everything else. We provide a customized shopping guide based on your guest count and drink preferences. The best part? You can keep the leftovers or return unopened bottles. Cheers to that!
We learn about your occasion! What you're celebrating, your crowd, the vibe you’re going for, and then we tailor our recommendations just for you. That includes quantities, cocktail styles, and anything else to make your bar feel right for your event. We got you!
Yes! Our mocktails bring just as much flavor and flair, no alcohol needed. Whether it’s for a dry event or just to give guests more options, we craft delicious drinks everyone can enjoy.
If a tip jar isn’t allowed at your event, we add a 20% gratuity to the total service cost. This ensures our bartenders are fairly tipped for bringing great energy and top-tier service. Also, this allows guests to enjoy the event without the hassle of tipping during service.
The sooner, the better! Our calendar fills up fast—especially for weekends and peak seasons. We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance to lock in your date and secure your dream bar team.
We require a 30% non-refundable deposit to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due 3 weeks before your event. Flexible payment plans are available, just ask during booking!
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and bank transfers.
Cancellations must be submitted in writing at least 10 business days before your event to receive a refund—minus the non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made within 10 business days are not eligible for a refund.
Need to reschedule? No problem—you can move your event date once without losing your deposit, but availability isn’t guaranteed.
Depending on the nature of the event, we typically arrive 1.5–2 hours before service to set up and vibe check the space. After the last pour, breakdown takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. We handle it all so you can keep the party going!
It depends on your guest count and the type of service you’re looking for. As a general rule, we recommend 1 bartender for every 50–75 guests. For faster service, craft cocktails, or VIP experiences, we may suggest extra staff to keep the drinks flowing and the vibe strong.
Yes, we carry liquor liability and general liability insurance for our services. All bartenders are TABC & Food Handler Certified.
