Reasons
to
Go
with
a
Professional
Bartender:
You might know a friend who has a Class 12 MAST
permit.
* Can
they tell
you everything you need to make sure you have on hand and in what
quantities?
* When they show up and find cases of liquor, coolers of ice and tables
strewn about the bar area, will they be able to get it organized,
chilled and be up and serving efficiently in 1 hour?
* Can they manage thirsty crowds up to 200, or will the line
at the bar back up while they're chatting with their friends?
* Will they want to work all
night while
all of their other friends get to party?
With Bartending by Mallard, you get dynamic, attractive,
engaging personalities who know the business of successful bartending.
You only
get one try to make your party a success. Make certain that quality
professionals
handle your liquor service.
We strive to make every event special. From custom cocktail menus
and signature cocktail drinks, all created in conjunction with your
desires, to efficient, outstanding service that demonstrates a passion
for what we do.
Special Note for All
You Brides to Be:
Many caterers will give you a quote for food service and tell
you "bar service is included". That alone should send up a big red
flag. Someone has to tend the bar, and rest assured, they're not
doing it for free. "Bar service included" means the cater tacked the
bartending labor cost onto the food service estimate and is hiding it
from you.
I constantly bristle when I listen to other vendors tell
me
how they
up charge all of their weddings. Yes, weddings tend to involve more
effort, but gouging brides simply because it's a wedding is poor
business practice. I charge the same rate, regardless if I'm
pouring wine at a birthday party for 10 or making mixed cocktails and
mojito's all evening
at a wedding for 400. Do yourselves a service and don't tolerate add-on
fees or up-charges!
Most vendors will be eager to work within the
budget you provide as opposed to losing your business. To test, tell a
caterer you want to subtract one of my bartending quotes from a
caterer's "Bar service included" estimate and see if they decline your
business. It won't happen.

Musings from
Mallard:
Bartenders
are
the
life
of
any
restaurant
and
or
bar.
Why
aren’t
they
being
sought
for
their
personality
behind the bar at your wedding? Identifying
bartenders who are engaging and charismatic offers an added touch for
your next
wedding, party, corporate event or fundraiser.
Flair bartenders are bartenders who perform tricks. They
can pour drinks
into stacked glasses from one or two feet above the drinks. They may
flip and
catch bottles and service tins in creative patterns (think Tom Cruise
in the
movie "Cocktail"). They may even light stacked glasses on fire. Flair
bartenders are highly skilled professionals who take the time to learn
how to
catch glassware, tins, bottles and other items behind their heads,
stacking
martini glasses on their foreheads and pouring drinks into the very
glasses they
are balancing. They can make a huge impact on the ambiance for any
party or
bar.
Bartending
is a craft. A lifestyle. Bartending is a career, a passion,
and a wonderful way to meet people.
