Booking a corporate event bartender here
What a Medley corporate event actually involves
The run to Medley is about 7 miles, short enough that a corporate event here is an ordinary date on the calendar rather than a logistics problem. What we plan around instead is your timeline: when the room opens, when the food lands, when the bar needs to go quiet.
Medley has Doral and Hialeah Gardens close at hand, the nearest about 2 miles out. Guests coming from that direction arrive together, so we build the corporate event bar to absorb a front-loaded rush rather than a steady stream.
Medley 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 corporate event before you fix a start time; we will build the bar around whatever schedule it leaves you.
Booking a corporate event bartender in Medley 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.
Plans change. A Medley corporate event 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.
You can have a price for your Medley corporate event before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
What time do you arrive for a corporate event in Medley?
About 1 hour before service. Over about 7 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.
What do you need from a Medley venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a corporate event 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.
Do you clean up after a Medley corporate event?
Breakdown is part of the booking — the bar comes down, everything returns to the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
That holds at about 7 miles out as firmly as it does next door to the yard.
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 corporate event 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.
How long does breakdown take after a corporate 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.
When should I book a Medley corporate event?
Earlier than feels necessary. December is our heaviest month for bartending quotes — 13% of them — and weekend crews run out before dates do.
A 25% deposit holds it and stays refundable until 7 days out, so booking early costs nothing but a decision.
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 !!!!
