Event FAQs

What's your pricing? Can you send me a quote?
We do not send quotes as all our pricing is available online. View our Prices for full details.

Do you supply the alcohol?
South Carolina only issues liquor licenses to brick and mortar establishments. So while we're not legally able to sell alcohol, that does not mean we're not a full-service bar option. We are legally permitted, and fully insured, to pour liquor and provide a bartender service to your guests. We'll work closely with you to create the perfect bar menu that's within your budget. You have the option to choose your own liquor provider or we'll connect you with one of our preferred providers. Either way, you're only paying retail for all alcohol with no markup on our part, unlike traditional bar services. Better still, you're not locked into the brands they want you to have and any unopened liquor can usually be returned for a full refund or better still, you can use it for your after party or any other gatherings you may have while in town, thus saving you even more money.

I'm confused. How the heck does this work and why are you more economical?
Traditional bartender services charge a flat per person, per hour rate, based on what type of liquor they're pouring. Any additional hours are then charged a different per person, per hour rate. They also only provide the bartenders so you still have to rent bar furniture such as a bar to serve from. At the end of the night, even if your guests didn't drink the designated per person, per hour amount, you're still charged for it. That bar service then takes back all that liquor and then re-sells it to someone else.

Just let that marinate.

You pay for liquor and then what you've paid for is re-sold to someone else and you're out that money.

We don't do that. We merely charge for our adorable cocktail caravans and the bartender service. You pay for the alcohol separately and in most circumstances, within 72 hours after your event, we'll return any unopened liquor on your behalf for a full refund.

Or instead of paying for even more liquor for your after party or any other gatherings you may have post event, we'll give you back all your unused liquor instead of you having to buy even more spirits.

Is a deposit required to book a date?
Yup - it sure is. We require a 30% deposit to reserve your desired date. $350 is a non-refundable booking fee. Payment in full is requested 7-business days prior to an event. You will be emailed a contract and separately an invoice directly from Square. You can pay via any credit card. As we're booking into June 2018, we do not hold dates under any circumstances. Please do not ask us to send a contract if you are unable to pay the deposit invoice within 24-hours.

What's your cancellation policy?
We get it. Things happen. And sometimes you may need to cancel or reschedule your big day. But, please keep in mind, once you reserve a date, we hold that date specifically for you and turn away other events.

{minus $350 booking fee}
180 days prior to the event day, you'll receive your deposit in full
179 days or less, you'll receive half your deposit
120 days or less, we will retain 100% of your deposit
30 days or less, the full amount will be owed

We highly recommend you inquire about event insurance due to unforeseen circumstances (I'm talking about you Hurricanes Matthew & Irma). Travelers, Nationwide, Progressive and a variety of other carriers can provide you with an event insurance quote.

Do you have a rain date policy?
Unfortunately, due to our advanced booking model, we can not accommodate rain dates. The host is responsible for tent cover of the bar in the event of inclement weather. We are happy to work with your tent vendor to find the appropriate size tent for your event.

When should I book my date?
We recommend booking as soon as possible. We're already booking into October 2020 and now have three caravans to accommodate our many bookings.

How big are Mini Pearl and Buck?
Please read our in-depth Camper FAQs before booking the campers.

Do you travel outside of the immediate Charleston area?
We do! Our destination fee outside of the immediate Charleston area (Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Daniel Island, Johns Island (Kiawah & Seabrook) and Folly Beach) is based on where you're located. You'll will be required to secure any permits and business licensing if we travel outside our immediate area. We've catered parties all around the Lowcountry. Please contact us for pricing.
