Booking a mobile bar isn’t something you do every day — so how do you know you’re getting the right fit for your celebration? Asking the right questions upfront can save you time, money, and stress on the big day.

1. What’s Included in the Rental?

Some mobile bars are full-service, others are more bare-bones. Always clarify if staffing, setup, breakdown, supplies, alcohol and gratuity are part of the package.

2. Do You Provide the Alcohol?

Massachusetts has specific alcohol laws. Some mobile bar companies are dry hire, others source it for you. Make sure you know which applies so you’re covered legally and logistically.

3. How Many Taps or Serving Stations Do You Have?

The number of serving points determines variety. A tap truck might have multiple taps, a trailer may have different stations — the key is enough for your guest count to keep lines short.

4. What Areas Do You Serve?

Confirm coverage: Worcester, Boston, Cape Cod, Southern New Hampshire, Southern Maine — every company has its boundaries. Don’t assume, always ask where they will travel to, and if there are any associated fees.

5. Can I Customize the Menu?

The best part of hiring a mobile bar is making it yours. From signature cocktails to non-alcoholic options, ask how flexible the menu is.

The right mobile bar will be transparent, flexible, and excited to bring your vision to life. Ask these five questions and you’ll feel confident in your choice.
