Doral celebrations
Your celebration in Doral, start to finish
Doral sits about 9 miles south of our Hialeah base, which puts a celebration here inside the ring we work most weekends — same kit, same crew, same setup window as anything closer in.
Doral has Medley and Fontainebleau 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.
Doral is a municipality in its own right, which for a celebration 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 celebration in Doral 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.
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 celebration in Doral, 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 Doral celebration?
Doral is about 9 miles 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.
Medley, Fontainebleau and Virginia Gardens are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
What do you need from a Doral venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a celebration that is usually the whole of it, and knowing it in advance is the difference between a calm setup and a scramble.
We will also ask what surface the bar sits on and whether there is cover, since both change the build.
How many bartenders for a Doral celebration?
It follows the guest count and how long the bar stays open. The wizard on this page sizes it as you fill it in.
Half the bartending quotes we write are for 50 guests or fewer, which is usually one bartender working steadily.
What if my Doral 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 celebration?
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 do I book a celebration in Doral?
Price it here, then hold the date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the celebration.
The deposit is fully refundable until 7 days out, and the date can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before.
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 !!!!
