How much is this actually going to cost?
Typical Pricing Ranges (2026)
Hourly rate: $40–$70 per bartender (most common in DFW).
Flat-fee packages: $300–$700 for smaller parties; $800–$2,500+ for weddings with 100+ guests.
Per-guest pricing: $12–$45 per person depending on whether it’s dry hire or full-service.
Factors that move the price: event duration (4-hour minimum is standard), number of bartenders needed (1 bartender per 75 guest recommended), location (travel outside DFW metro adds a small fee), and whether you want premium cocktails or just beer/wine service.
