- Frequently Asked Questions -
What types of events do you serve?
We can bartend at virtually any event where a bar is needed. Black Orchid Bar Co. handles weddings, private parties, corporate events, festivals – you name it. Whether it’s an intimate backyard gathering or a large gala, our team is equipped to elevate the bar experience for your guests.
What services are included when I hire Black Orchid Bar Co.?
We provide a full-service mobile bar experience, handling everything from planning your drink menu to execution and cleanup at your event. Our team brings professional TABC-certified bartenders, portable bar setup (if needed), all bar tools, and essential supplies. We provide mixers, garnishes, and can take care of ice and cups, creating a complete bar with high-quality ingredients and service.
Are your bartenders certified and insured?
Yes – all of our bartenders are TABC-certified and we carry comprehensive liability insurance, including liquor liability. This ensures you're working with trained professionals and have peace of mind regarding safety and compliance.
Who provides the alcohol for the event?
Due to Texas liquor laws, Black Orchid Bar Co. does not provide or deliver alcohol. At this time, we focus exclusively on bartending services. As we grow, we plan to offer coordination support for alcohol purchasing, including shopping lists and vendor recommendations. For now, you as the host will be responsible for supplying the alcohol.
Do you provide a bar setup, or do we need to have a bar at the venue?
We can provide a portable bar setup if your venue doesn't already have one. If your venue has a bar or counter already in place, we’re happy to use that too. If you're looking for something beyond our standard setup, we’re happy to help you rent a bar that fits your style and event needs. We’ll discuss this during your free booking call and follow up with rental options as part of your custom quote.
How many bartenders will I need for my guest count?
We recommend 1 bartender per 50 guests. For events with 75–150 guests, a second bartender is required to maintain quality and speed of service. For anything over 150 guests, we’ll discuss the appropriate staffing to keep everything flowing smoothly.
When do you arrive to set up, and how long does tear-down take?
Our team typically arrives 1 to 2 hours before the event to set up. This allows us to prepare the bar area, chill drinks, and get ready to serve. Tear-down usually takes 30 minutes to an hour after the event concludes. We handle all setup and breakdown for the bar service.
Can you create a custom drink menu or signature cocktails for our event?
Absolutely! Custom cocktail design is one of our specialties. We'll collaborate with you to create a drink menu that fits your theme and preferences. From signature cocktails to full custom menus, we’ll tailor everything to make your event memorable.
Do you offer non-alcoholic beverages or mocktails for guests who don’t drink?
Yes. We’re happy to offer creative mocktails and non-alcoholic options to ensure all your guests feel included. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll curate options that are just as impressive as our cocktails.
How do I secure my booking? Is a deposit required?
How do I secure my booking? Is a deposit required?
To reserve Black Orchid Bar Co. for your event, a 20% deposit is required. We’ll send you an invoice for the deposit amount, which will officially secure your date on our calendar. The remaining balance is due no later than the conclusion of the event.
What is your cancellation policy? Client Cancellations:
Cancellations made more than 14 days before the event will receive a full refund of the deposit.
Cancellations made 7–14 days before the event will forfeit 50% of the deposit.
Cancellations made within 7 days of the event will forfeit 100% of the deposit.
In some cases, deposits may be applied to a rescheduled event at our discretion.
Service Provider Cancellations:
If Black Orchid Bar Co. must cancel the booking, the client will receive a full refund of all payments made, including the deposit.
Neither party shall be held liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond their reasonable control, including acts of God, weather events, natural disasters, pandemics, or government restrictions.
How far in advance should I book, and can you handle last-minute events?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall). That said, we understand things happen last minute – we’ll do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings when possible.
What areas do you serve? Do you charge travel fees for events outside of Austin?
We’re based in Austin, TX, and serve the greater Austin area and surrounding Central Texas.
For events outside of this region, travel fees may apply. Reach out to us with your event details, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Have a question we didn’t answer?
Feel free to reach out to us directly. We’re happy to clarify anything and help you plan an unforgettable event.
