How does a consumption bar work?
Our consumption bars are great option if you have a strict budget, not sure exactly how many guests are attending, or you want guests to pay for their drinks or want to recover your event costs. We charge a service hire fee to cover our fixed costs such as staff & equipment, and a minimum spend which can be used as a pre paid bar tab or if your guests pay for their drinks we can reimburse you the minimum spend once it is reached.
How do unlimited bar services work?
Our unlimited bar service packages are fixed cost packages, great for budgeting as you know exactly what your event is going to cost you up front.
