Frequently Asked Questions
DOES LIFTED SPIRITS COMPANY SUPPLY THE ALCOHOL?
Our bars are "dry hire" mobile bars, which means that either you, your caterer, or your venue must provide the alcohol. We will work closely with you to curate the perfect drink menu, and provide you with an alcohol shopping list based on the details of your event.
WHAT CAN LIFTED SPIRITS CO. SUPPLY?
We provide rental of our signature bars, a base of two bartending staff members, and everything else you'll need for your bar (minus the alcohol). This includes custom cocktail drink menus, disposable drinkware, ice, mixers, syrups, juices, garnishes, napkins, straws, etc. We also offer non-alcoholic options as an add on to the bar as well as upgraded glassware.
WHAT ARE YOUR SIGNATURE COCKTAILS?
We will work with you to craft the perfect signature cocktails for your event based on your palate and alcohol preferences. We want your signature cocktails to be a reflection of you and your special event. We're happy to provide you with recommendations and ideas on what to serve.
CAN YOU HELP ME DETERMINE HOW MUCH ALCOHOL TO BUY?
Absolutely! We will provide a shopping list that thoroughly breaks everything down to help ensure you don't run out of alcohol, but also so you don't overbuy. We take into account several factors such as guest count, hours of service, and the package that you choose for the event.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? WILL YOU TRAVEL?
We are currently located in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Travel within 30 miles of Bend is included in our base package pricing. Additional travel is $2/mile round trip.
WHAT IS YOUR RESERVATION AND PAYMENT POLICY?
LSC will lock in your date once a 33% non-refundable first payment, to reserve your date and bar rental, is received and the service contract is signed by both client and LSC. If multiple people are inquiring about the same date, the first person to provide a deposit and signed service contract will secure the date and bar for their event.
- In addition to the fees described above, an administrative fee of 15% will be added to all invoices to cover additional operational costs, for example, time spent assisting clients in planning, interacting with wedding planners and vendors, local site visits, cocktail recipe crafting, etc. *This is not a gratuity*
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
Plans changed? Things happen! We offer a limited cancellation policy with each booking. Please inquire for details.
WHAT ARE THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BAR?
Our bar requires flat ground for setup and service, clear access for set-up and break down, and enough clearance to tow the bar to its desired location by vehicle. Miley is 8' wide, 13' long, and 10' high -service window is on the passenger side and can back into spots. Millie is 10ft wide, 15ft long, and 9ft high -service window is on the driver side and will need to be pulled in.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY EVENT GETS RAINED OUT?
Our bar is not water tight and has delicate wood pieces that cannot be touched by water and if it rains during bar service time (more than a "sprinkle") please note that we will need to switch service to our portable bar. If weather is predicted and likely to occur, a decision will need to be made regarding the use of any outdoor bar by no later than 9:00 am on the event date. In case of sudden and unexpected severe weather, the bar will be closed and the staff will seek safe shelter. It may be necessary to move the bar service to a safe indoor location for the duration of the event. If the mobile bar cannot be used due to inclement weather and the portable bar will not be under cover, we will refund you the retainer held.
ARE YOU INSURED?
Absolutely! We always carry general liability insurance as well as liquor handling insurance. We can also add your venue as additionally insured under our policy.
