Booking bartending services here
How we run a Cutler Bay celebration
Cutler Bay sits near the far edge of what we cover, about 25 miles south of the yard. A celebration here is a full day for the crew from the moment the truck is loaded, and it is booked as one — the honest reason dates at this end of the county go early.
Cutler Bay has South Miami Heights and Goulds close at hand, the nearest about 2 miles out. Guests coming from that direction arrive together, so we build the celebration bar to absorb a front-loaded rush rather than a steady stream.
Cutler Bay runs its own book on events — permits, curfews, park bookings, what may be put up in a public space. Ask your venue which of those touch a celebration before you fix a start time; we will build the bar around whatever schedule it leaves you.
For a celebration in Cutler Bay 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 Cutler Bay celebration 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.
Every bartending services we run in Cutler Bay is quoted from the same rate card as the rest of Miami-Dade, so the number the wizard gives you is the number we honour when you book it.
Do you do celebrations in Cutler Bay?
Yes, and it is one of the things we are booked for most. Cutler Bay is about 25 miles south of our Hialeah base, and a celebration 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.
My venue is near Cutler Bay rather than in it — is that a problem?
Not at all. South Miami Heights is about 2 miles from Cutler Bay, with Goulds and Palmetto Estates 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.
Are your bartenders licensed and insured?
Yes, on every booking. If your Cutler Bay 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 celebration calls for.
Do you cater to guests who are not drinking?
Always. Bottled water, soft drinks and a proper mocktail or two are part of how we build a celebration menu, not an afterthought bolted on at the end.
Portions are worked out from your total headcount, so nobody is counting cups at the end of the night.
When should the bar open at a Cutler Bay celebration?
Usually as guests arrive, and then it follows your run sheet from there — quiet for the speeches, busy again afterwards.
Tell us the shape of the evening and we will staff the peaks rather than spreading the same crew flat across the night.
What is included in a Cutler Bay celebration booking?
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.
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 !!!!
