Can You Hire a Bartender to Serve Alcohol You Provide?

Yes. With Whiskey & Copper’s bartending services, you choose and purchase the alcohol you’d like served at your event. We help you plan a drink menu that suits your guests, then provide the bartending service for your celebration.

How does it work?

Start with your event details: the guest count, service hours, venue, and the kinds of drinks you’d like to offer. Your menu might include beer and wine, two signature drinks, or a broader cocktail selection.

We’ll help you estimate alcohol quantities and organize a shopping list around that menu. You purchase the alcohol directly from a licensed retailer, so you can choose the brands and selections that fit your preferences and budget.

What does Whiskey & Copper provide?

That depends on the bartending service package you select. We’ll spell out the staffing, bar essentials, drink ingredients, and other inclusions in your proposal, so you know what we’re bringing and what you’ll need to purchase.

We can also help you plan signature cocktails and coordinate mocktails or dirty sodas for guests who prefer an alcohol-free drink.

Before you shop

Check your venue’s rules for outside alcohol and bartending vendors. Once the venue and menu are confirmed, we can make the shopping guidance specific to your event.
