Do Mobile Bartenders Bring Their Own Alcohol? Dry Hire vs. Full Service Explained

Short answer: It depends on the package you choose.

  • Dry hire (most common & budget-friendly): You buy and supply the alcohol. We bring everything else—bartenders, mixers, ice, garnishes, cups, tools, insurance, and setup/cleanup.

  • Full-service: We source and supply the alcohol too (higher price, more convenient for some).

Most Texas venues actually prefer or require dry hire because it simplifies licensing and reduces liability for the bartender.
