Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are your bartenders certified?
We only provide the most experienced and professional bartenders for your party.  
All of our bartenders hold certifications from various bartending schools and
programs, but all of our bartenders have many years of on the job experience and are
more than qualified to handle your event.

2.  How far in advance do I have to reserve your services?
The more notice you give us, the better.  Planning a party takes work and the more
planning you do the better the party.  We suggest reserving your date as soon as the
party is confirmed.  Try to contact us at least 2 weeks prior to your event, but don't be
afraid to call us at the last minute.  We'll do our best to help you out!

3. How many bartenders do I need for my party?
As a general rule you should hire one bartender per 100 guests.  If you are expecting
a lot of guests please try to notify us well in advance so that we can arrange the
schedules of several bartenders.

4. Can I buy my own alcoholic beverages?
Yes, in fact we require that you do. We are in the process of acquiring a liquor
license, so we can not supply  liquor, but we'll be more than happy to assist you in
buying the correct quantities and selections to fit your needs.  You will provide the ice
and all the mixers such as soda, water, and juices.  You also provide garnishments
such as cherries, limes, olives and those cute little umbrellas.  Tell us what you need
and we'll arrange it.

5. The theme of my party is Beauty and the Geek; will your
bartenders dress up like a Geek for my party?
Certainly.  Our bartenders love to dress up and will be more than happy to
accommodate theme parties.  We suggest providing any costumes as we charge a
costume fee to rent something appropriate.  Generally our bartenders will arrive in a
tuxedo or nicely fitted suit.  

6.  My party is going to be pretty casual, does your bartender
have something other than a Black/ Whites?
Yes. Our bartenders can come dressed in  jeans, Hawaiian shirts to fit your island
theme, or anything you require.  Our bartenders  are professional, but also want to
have a great time and will wear anything you want.  Let your imagination go.

7. Do you charge a gratuity on your invoice?
We do not put gratuities on our invoices unless directed to do so by the client.
Gratuities are left to your discretion, but  A gratuity of $100.00 per 5 hours  is
standard  if client is tipping bartender. However we do ask that you allow our
bartenders to display a professional looking tip jar so that guests can tip if they so
please.  Generally tips from the party thrower are not expected if a tip jar was
present.

8. Do you require a deposit?
All parties will be required to sign a contract with Kevin's Bartending Services. This is
why a deposit  is generally not required. Kevin's Bartending Services has dozens of
satisfied customers and repeat customers from San Diego, Orange County, and Los
Angeles counties. We guarantee that you will be satisfied with our complete service
or we'll give you
1 FREE HOUR, at  your next party.

9. What happens if someone gets drunk at my party?
Our bartenders are certified at bartending schools to silently monitor what each
guest drinks and will politely refrain from serving beverages to those guests who are
pushing the limit to lessen the liability of the person providing the alcohol.  If a
situation occurs our bartenders are trained to diffuse the situation in a friendly and
tactful manner.

checks payable to: Kevin's Bartending Services

for the job.  We only hire professional, experienced, friendly, energetic and mature
bartenders.  Personality is first to knowledge.  You must be 21 years old to serve
