Question 1

What exactly is a mobile bar?

Accepted Answer

A mobile bar is a fully functional, fully equipped bar that travels to your event, bringing a unique touch to any occasion. We start by curating an experience tailored to your event and stay until the last drink is poured and we're on our way. It's all about creating memorable moments with a touch of rustic charm.

Question 2

Do you supply the alcohol for events?

Accepted Answer

No, we don't supply the alcohol. Mobile bars like ours aren't licensed to sell liquor without a brick-and-mortar location. You'll provide the alcohol, and we'll handle everything else. We'll help customize your menu so you know exactly how much to order, and we can even pick up and deliver it for a fee.

Question 3

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

We are located in the beautiful Berkshires. This gives us an advantage of being able to travel to different surrounding states within our mileage radius. We service all areas within 25 miles, but are willing to travel outside of that service area for an additional $1.50 per mile.

Question 4

What type of events do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in weddings, private and social events, and corporate events. If you can dream it, we can serve it.

Question 5

Do you have insurance coverage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we carry general and liquor liability insurance. We're happy to coordinate the details with your venue to ensure everything is covered.

Question 6

What does your trailer require for set up?

Accepted Answer

Stormy is a big girl - more to love. She is 17 feet long and 6 feet wide. We require a wide, easy to travel road, lawn or flat ground with ability to drive in or back into an area. We need a dedicated 120-volt hook-up within 100 feet. If electricity isn't available, we can provide a generator for an additional fee.

Question 7

What is your policy for rain dates?

Accepted Answer

Due to our advanced booking model, we can't accommodate rain dates. If the weather turns, the host is responsible for providing a tent cover for the bar. We're happy to collaborate with your tent vendor to ensure the right fit.

Question 8

What size events can you handle?

Accepted Answer

All sizes! We supply two bartenders for events up to 100 people (included in price). We require additional bartenders and bar backs for events over 100 people with additional fees, but not to worry, we will work out the logistics together.

Question 9

Do you provide non-alcoholic services?

Accepted Answer

We sure do. Our bars can be used for mocktails, hot chocolate, cider, lemonade, and more. If you can dream it, we can make it happen. In fact, we love a good mocktail and can convert most of our drinks into mocktail versions. Cash bar unless decided otherwise.

Question 10

What is your payment and refund policy?

Accepted Answer

We require a 50% non-refundable retainer to reserve your event date The contract balance is due 30 days before your event date via invoice.

Question 11

Can I rent the trailer?

Accepted Answer

You sure can. Stormy can be used for anything from farmers markets to photography backdrops, and anything in-between. Hourly rentals (without staffing or packages) are $200 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum. This includes drop off & pickup within the 25 mile radius. We DO NOT allow outside bartenders to serve out of our mobile bar. If you're a photographer-email us, we want to chat.

Question 12

Why do you ask for my entire guest count, even if they're under 21?

Accepted Answer

We supply plenty of mixers and garnishes for even your youngest guests to order a mocktail from the bar. This count ensures that we are covered with all soda and juices that are included with your package, and help us plan for water, etc.

Question 13

How long does it take to set up?

Accepted Answer

We plan for 1 hour for set up to allow time to gather the alcohol, set the trailer up, and get the beverages chilled so that we are ready to serve when your guests arrive.

Question 14

How is gratuity handled?

Accepted Answer

Gratuity of 18% is included in your invoice. A tip jar is discreetly placed on the bar during the event. If you would prefer that a tip jar not be placed, let us know, we will add in the additional 2% to the invoice total.

Question 15

Why don't you provide pricing on your website?

Accepted Answer

We do that because our service is not always one size, fits all. We want the opportunity to connect with you about your event to determine your budget and cost so we can tailor our service for you.
