Booking a private event bartender here
What a Country Club private event actually involves
We are based under a mile from Country Club, so booking a private event bartender here involves no travel calculation on our end. It involves your run sheet, your guest count, and what you want standing behind the bar.
Country Club has Miami Lakes and Miami Gardens close at hand, the nearest about 2 miles out. Guests coming from that direction arrive together, so we build the private event bar to absorb a front-loaded rush rather than a steady stream.
People search Country Club because it is where they live rather than because it is a municipality. For a private event that means county regulations and then your venue's own view on access, timing and how late the bar may run.
Booking a private event bartender in Country Club starts from your timeline rather than ours — when doors open, when the food lands, when the bar goes quiet for speeches, and where last call should sit. The staffing and the menu are built around that.
Setup starts roughly 1 hour ahead of your start time, and we hold that against your run sheet rather than our own. If the ceremony, the speeches or the entrance move, the bar moves with them.
If you are comparing options for a private event in Country Club, 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.
How far will you travel for a Country Club private event?
Country Club is under a mile from where we load, and we cover the whole of Miami-Dade. The distance shapes our morning, not your rate — bartending is $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum.
Miami Lakes, Miami Gardens and Hialeah Gardens are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
How long does setup take for a private event in Country Club?
The window is about 1 hour before service, and it has to cover the carry from wherever we can park, the build, the ice and the garnish.
Breakdown runs the same way in reverse, and the space is left as we found it — under a mile of drive home notwithstanding.
Can you design a custom menu for a Country Club private event?
That is how we normally do it — the list is built around what your guests will actually drink, mocktails and frozen drinks included.
The mixers, juices, garnish and ice to run it arrive with the bar, portioned to your headcount.
What if my Country Club guests want something not on the menu?
Within reason the bar can handle it — the mixers, juices and garnish we bring cover a good deal more than the printed list.
If there is a drink that really matters to you, tell us early and we will make sure the ingredients are on the truck.
How long does breakdown take after a private event?
Less time than setup. The bar comes down, everything goes back on the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
If your venue has a hard curfew, tell us and we will work backwards from it rather than from last call.
How much does a private event in Country Club cost?
From $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum, around $255 at the floor. The hours, the guest count and what you have us bring do the rest.

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 !!!!
