What Ives Estates hosts get
What a Ives Estates corporate event actually involves
Ives Estates sits about 9 miles east of our Hialeah base, which puts a corporate event here inside the ring we work most weekends — same kit, same crew, same setup window as anything closer in.
North Miami Beach sits about 2 miles from Ives Estates, with Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a corporate event, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
People search Ives Estates because it is where they live rather than because it is a municipality. For a corporate event that means county regulations and then your venue's own view on access, timing and how late the bar may run.
What you actually book for a Ives Estates corporate event is a licensed, insured team, a bar that photographs well, and a drinks list built with you rather than handed to you. What you do not book is a stranger who turns up and asks where the ice is.
You hold a Ives Estates date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the corporate event, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out — the same terms here as everywhere else we work.
Every corporate event bartender we run in Ives Estates 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.
What time do you arrive for a corporate event in Ives Estates?
About 1 hour before service. Over about 9 miles we leave with margin, because arriving early and waiting is a far better failure than arriving late.
We hold that arrival against your run sheet, so if the ceremony or the speeches move, the bar moves with them.
My venue is near Ives Estates rather than in it — is that a problem?
Not at all. North Miami Beach is about 2 miles from Ives Estates, with Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach 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.
Can you design a custom menu for a Ives Estates corporate 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 Ives Estates 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.
When should the bar open at a Ives Estates corporate event?
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.
How much does a corporate event in Ives Estates 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 !!!!
