Kendale Lakes weddings
What a Kendale Lakes wedding actually involves
There is about 17 miles between our Hialeah base and Kendale Lakes. On a wedding at that range we load early and leave early, so the setup window carries slack rather than optimism.
The nearest places we serve are Kendall West, Tamiami and University Park, starting about 2 miles away. If your wedding guest list is spread across them, nobody is making an unreasonable journey — and arrivals bunch rather than trickle, which is exactly when a second pair of hands behind the bar earns its keep.
Kendale Lakes is an unincorporated area rather than a city of its own, so county rules cover your wedding and the tighter restrictions come from the venue or the HOA. We ask about both before the truck is scheduled.
Booking a wedding bartender in Kendale Lakes covers the whole shift — setup, service, and a breakdown that leaves the space as we found it. You are hiring the people and the equipment, not renting an hourly rate.
Plans change. A Kendale Lakes wedding 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 wedding in Kendale Lakes, 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.
Can you handle a large wedding in Kendale Lakes?
Yes — staffing scales with the headcount and the bar is built to match. For context, half the bartending quotes we write are for 50 guests or fewer, so a bigger room is a question of more hands and more ice rather than a different service.
Put the guest count and the timeline into the wizard and it prices the staffing for you.
What do you need from a Kendale Lakes venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a wedding 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.
Are your bartenders licensed and insured?
Yes, on every booking. If your Kendale Lakes 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 wedding 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 wedding 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.
Can the bar stay open longer on the night?
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.
How much does a wedding in Kendale Lakes 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 !!!!
