Add-ons (ice, mixers, etc.)	$1-4/guest

Why BYOB Mobile Bartending Is Cheaper Than a Caterer

The biggest difference between us and a traditional caterer or venue bar: we don't sell alcohol. You buy it yourself at retail prices.

Here's a real comparison for a 50-person event:

With Mobile Bar Orlando (BYOB): - Bartender + bar setup: $250 - Your alcohol at Costco: ~$150-200 - Mixers add-on: $200 - Total: ~$450-650

With a typical Orlando caterer: - Per-person bar package: $20-25/person = $1,000-1,250 - Bartender fee: $150-350 - Gratuity (20%): $200-250 - Total: $1,350-1,850

That's $700-1,200 in savings for the exact same result: a professional bartender serving drinks at your party.

What Affects Your Price

Guest Count

Under 100 guests = 1 bartender ($250 base). 100+ guests = 2 bartenders ($500 base). We'll serve 2 people or 300 — there's no minimum.

Duration

4 hours is included in the base. Need more? It's $50/hour (or $100/hour if you have 2 bartenders).

Add-Ons

All optional. Only pay for what you actually need: - Ice & coolers: $2/guest - Mixers (sodas, juices, tonic): $4/guest - Garnishes & citrus: $2/guest - Hydration station: $100 flat - Disposables (cups, straws, napkins): $1/guest

Real Package Examples

Budget Birthday (30 guests): $250 base + $60 ice + $30 disposables = $340

Backyard Wedding (75 guests): $250 base + $150 ice + $300 mixers + $150 garnishes + $75 disposables = $925 (for full-service bar — still half what a caterer charges)

Big Graduation Party (120 guests): $500 base (2 bartenders) + $240 ice + $480 mixers + $120 disposables = $1,340 (try getting 2 bartenders from a caterer for under $2,500)
