Frequently Asked Questions
✅ Do you work alone or have a team?
I personally bartend most events to ensure every detail is handled with care. For larger events, I bring in trusted freelance staff, but I remain the lead mixologist on-site to maintain consistency and service quality.
✅ What happens after I book?
We’ll start with a consultation to ensure we’re the right fit for each other. From there, I’ll send over a service agreement and deposit request. Once confirmed, I get to work on your menu! I provide regular updates, create an itemized inventory list tailored to your event, and make sure everything reflects your style and story.
✅ What makes Bender Mixology different as a mobile bar service?
Unlike many mobile bar companies that focus on novelty setups (like horse trailers) or have limited bar experience, I bring over a decade of hands-on bartending expertise, advanced mixology certifications, and a focus on craft-first service. Every menu is curated with care, and every drink is designed to impress.
✅ What’s the difference between a bartender and a mixologist?
A bartender is skilled in service and speed—an essential part of any event. A mixologist takes things further, specializing in recipe development, flavor balance, and the art of crafting cocktails that are memorable and unique. With me, you get both.
✅ What types of events do you specialize in?
I work primarily with private parties, luxury gatherings, and intimate weddings. If your event values creativity, style and quality over volume and mass production, I’d love to be part of it.
✅ What types of drinks can you make, and can I customize them?
Absolutely! Menus range from extravagant cocktails (like espresso martinis with cold foam, boozy ice cream cocktails, or Italian-inspired bubble foams) to beautifully executed classics. You’ll always have the option to customize your menu to fit your theme and taste.
✅ What does your typical menu consist of?
Most six-drink menus include two signature cocktails, two timeless classics, and a couple of approachable crowd-pleasers, depending on your budget and preferences. One thing every menu has? Our signature Old Fashioned.
✅ Are you licensed and insured?
Yes—both general liability and professional insurance are in place to protect you and your guests.
✅ Are you willing to travel? What’s your service area?
Yes! We serve private events in the Metro East, corporate parties throughout Chesterfield and the West County area, parties and community events in St Louis, and weddings across Southern Illinois. In general, our service area covers the broader tri-state region.
✅ Do you offer full mocktail setups?
Absolutely! With my extensive training and fresh approach, I craft mocktails for just about every menu. From sustainable options made with teas and tonics, to sophisticated zero proof cocktails made with slow steeped base substitutions, such as my botanical Gin substitute. You get all of the flavor with zero alcohol.
