What Miami Gardens hosts get
The bar we build for a Miami Gardens private event
Miami Gardens is effectively our own neighborhood, about 5 miles from where we load. For a private event that means the drive is never the variable: we plan backwards from your timeline instead of forwards from ours.
There is some room around Miami Gardens — about 3 miles to Opa-locka, then Country Club and Ives Estates. Guests traveling in for a private event arrive more staggered here, which is easier on the bar and harder on your timeline, so we plan the pour rate accordingly.
Miami Gardens is a municipality in its own right, which for a private event 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.
The private event bartender you book for Miami Gardens arrives with everything the bar needs already on the truck: menu agreed in advance, kit checked before it leaves, and a crew that has run this setup across Miami-Dade often enough to know what the room will ask for.
You hold a Miami Gardens date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the private event, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out — the same terms here as everywhere else we work.
If you are comparing options for a private event in Miami Gardens, 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.
What time do you arrive for a private event in Miami Gardens?
About 1 hour before service. Over about 5 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.
How long does setup take for a private event in Miami Gardens?
The window is about 1 hour before service, and it has to cover the carry from wherever we can park, the build, the ice and the garnish.
Breakdown runs the same way in reverse, and the space is left as we found it — about 5 miles of drive home notwithstanding.
Can you design a custom menu for a Miami Gardens private 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 Miami Gardens 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.
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 do I book a private event in Miami Gardens?
Price it here, then hold the date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the private event.
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 !!!!
