Service Policies

What to expect

Dry-Hire Service

Hidden POURfections is a dry-hire mobile bartending company.

  • Clients provide all alcohol; we do not sell it.
  • We provide the staff, tools, mixers, garnishes, and supplies included in your package.
  • Alcohol recommendations and shopping guidance may be included with your experience.

Guest Count & Staffing

We provide one certified bartender per 50 guests. Your layout, number of bars, menu complexity, and timeline may require additional staff and fees.

Service Fee

Events exceeding 100 guests are subject to a 15% service fee to account for the additional preparation, staffing coordination, setup, breakdown, and operational requirements associated with large-scale service. This fee is not a gratuity.

Pricing & Add-Ons

All package prices are starting rates. Your personalized quote reflects guest count, location, hours, staffing, travel, service fee, add-ons, and special requests.

Booking & Payment

Your date is secured after the signed agreement and 50% non-refundable deposit are received within 24 hours of your quote.

The remaining balance is due 72 hours before the event. Services will not be provided with an outstanding balance.

Cancellations & Date Changes

All deposits are non-refundable. Cancellations, credits, postponements, and date changes follow your signed service agreement and are subject to availability.

Service Time

Contracted time includes the agreed arrival, setup, service, and breakdown period.

Extra service is $100 per hour, requires client approval, and depends on bartender availability.

Travel & Outdoor Events

Outdoor events include a $50 fee and require a safe, weather-protected workspace.

Travel fees depend on the event location and will appear in your quote when applicable.

Workspace & Setup

Unless otherwise agreed, the client or venue must provide:

  • A safe, stable, level work area with reasonable event access
  • Water and electricity when required
  • Weather protection for outdoor service

We handle bar-area setup and breakdown when included in your package; general venue cleanup remains the client's responsibility.

Equipment & Supplies

Our equipment, décor, barware, and supplies remain our property. Client-purchased alcohol, beverages, décor, and supplies remain the client's property.

Safety & Professional Service

We may refuse service to anyone who appears intoxicated, is underage, lacks valid identification, or cannot legally be served.

Our bartenders are licensed, certified, and insured. Unsafe or disrespectful conduct toward staff may end service without a refund.
