Only fill in minors if you want mocktails (zero-alcohol cocktails) for kids, otherwise leave at 0.
Birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, holiday get-togethers — private events run on the host, not a wedding planner or a venue's banquet team. Your bartender arrives about an hour before service, builds a clean bar in your kitchen, patio, backyard or rooftop, and pours until the last toast.
Tell the quote your guest count and hours and it sizes the team automatically — one professional bartender for roughly every 60 guests — then prices the supplies you want us to bring, from mixers and ice to a full portable bar.
Ice is what houses run short of: 51% of what we price includes it, and 50% includes coolers to keep it in.
It is about 13 miles from where we load out to Bal Harbour, measured on the map. Booking a private event bartender at that range changes nothing about what turns up — the full bar, the full kit, and a team with time in hand.
Bay Harbor Islands is under a mile from Bal Harbour, with Surfside and Biscayne Park barely further out. Plenty of Bal Harbour private events actually happen a few minutes over one of those lines — still the same booking, still the same price.
Bal Harbour is a municipality in its own right, which for a private event mostly shows up as parking and curfew. Tell us what the venue has told you and the setup and breakdown get planned to fit inside it.
For a private event in Bal Harbour we build the menu around your guests — classics, frozen drinks, mocktails, whatever the room will actually drink — then bring the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware that make it work.
Plans change. A Bal Harbour private event can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before the date, which is the part of the terms people most often end up needing.
If you are comparing options for a private event in Bal Harbour, price this one first. It takes about as long as reading this paragraph and it hands you a real number to compare against instead of a range.
Yes, and it is one of the things we are booked for most. Bal Harbour is about 13 miles east of our Hialeah base, and a private event here runs on the same kit and the same crew as anywhere else in the county.
You can price yours in the wizard on this page before speaking to anyone.
Not at all. Bay Harbor Islands is under a mile from Bal Harbour, with Surfside and Biscayne Park close behind, and all of them price identically.
Give us the real address when you book and we plan the load-in around that rather than around the search term.
Yes, on every booking. If your Bal Harbour venue wants a certificate, ask and we will send it across.
The crew is on site about 1 hour before service and dresses to whatever code the private event calls for.
It depends far more on the length of service than on the headcount, which is why the wizard asks for hours before it asks for anything else.
Tell it your guest count and how long you want the bar open and it will size the ice, mixers and serveware for you.
Often, if the crew's schedule allows it. Extra time is added at the same hourly rate rather than at a penalty rate.
It is worth deciding in advance where you want last call, because the hour people regret is almost always the last one.
The staff, the bar, and the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware behind it. Setup and breakdown are part of the booking rather than line items.
The drinks list is built with you — classics, frozen drinks and mocktails as the room needs — and the team is on site about 1 hour before service.
Hand-crafted in front of your guests — as beautiful as they are delicious.

Amazing service and presentation. Robert was great !
Thank you so much for delivering the tables and chairs impeccably clean. The delivery was prompt both times. Your employees were professional and friendly. I will continue to use your services for many years to come. I commend you for running your business with the customer being a priority. Doing business with YD cocktails was a pleasure!
Quick response, great prices, everything delivered was clean and brand new. Easy communication and overall and great experience
We had the pleasure of working with YD Cocktails for a recent corporate event on a yacht, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our 50+ guests. We ran into a few scheduling changes and last-minute adjustments on our end, and they were nothing but accommodating throughout the entire process. Their flexibility, communication, and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful situation feel seamless. The cocktails were fantastic, the service was exceptional, and our guests had an amazing experience and the food was phenomenal. We received so many compliments throughout the event. We can't thank the team enough for helping make our event such a success, and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Highly recommend!

Everything went very smoothly With the Chair Rental for our wedding They showed up when they were supposed to, and they left everything neatly stacked.
Awesome service! Equipment was top of the line and everything was delivered and picked up on time!
David thank you!!! Amazing service, quality chairs, and wonderful people to work with! I used them for an event, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. They arrived on time, set everything up smoothly, and made sure the entire process was stress-free. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and top-notch customer service truly stood out. It’s rare to find a company that is both reliable and genuinely caring about their clients’ experience. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again for future events!

Great service and experience with YD cocktails! Delicious drinks and the setup was so nice. They did my sister’s bachelorette and did a wonderful job
I am super happy with the chair rental. You came at the right time and later came to pick up with perfect timing. Everyone was so impressed with your efficiency. I didn't have to get mismatched chairs from everybody's back yard!! I am so appreciative for that. Your price was excellent and I'll try to get some pictures for your website. Once again, thank you . 🙏🏻
Great experience, would highly recommend. Food was excellent.
Bartending starts at $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum — about $255 for a small birthday or backyard gathering. The instant quote on this page prices your exact guest count, hours and venue in about a minute.
A professional portable bar, coolers, ice, mixers, fresh juices and garnish, cups, straws and napkins, and water and soft drinks are all available to add in the quote, along with the bartender. We also carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance if your building or HOA asks for one.
Ice, and something to keep it in. Across the bartending we've priced, 51% added ice and 50% added coolers — at a venue somebody has already thought about both, and at a house nobody has. They're line items, so put your real guest count in and the quote works out the quantities. If your freezer situation is genuinely handled, leave them off and the price drops.
We specialize in weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, private events, festivals, and more. We can accommodate any occasion where drinks are part of the celebration!
Absolutely! Our highly skilled bartenders can design a cocktail menu that matches your event theme or your personal tastes. We also have our signature cocktails that are sure to be hits at most events.
Absolutely, we can do mocktails as well as other soft drinks & juices if requested.
It takes about a minute — no calls, no waiting.
YD Cocktails is spectacular to work with. From the very first consultation, to the follow up by Yovana, to the smallest details and questions they asked. All to ensure that every detail was in place, and it was customized for us, family, and friends. From the display menu to the specialty drinks for the house. The drinks were as appealing to the eye as they were to drink Phenomenal presentation and taste. I don’t think Yovana and David had a chance to stop all night. I swear !!!! Even with that they served all kinds of shots and Cuba Libre (Mentirita) on the dance floor to keep the party going. The attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. I asked to add an extra hour at the very last minute as the guest didn’t want them to leave and that was not a problem whatsoever. Delighted and so happy I went with YD Cocktails. HIGHLY HIGLY RECOMMEND !!!!
