Miami Lakes weddings
Your wedding in Miami Lakes, start to finish
A wedding in Miami Lakes is about the shortest run we do — about 3 miles from the yard the truck loads in. The bar, the ice and the glassware are packed minutes from your venue, which is why setups here can start early without anyone leaving home at an unreasonable hour.
The nearest places we serve are Hialeah Gardens, Country Club and Opa-locka, 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.
Miami Lakes 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 wedding before you fix a start time; we will build the bar around whatever schedule it leaves you.
Booking a wedding bartender in Miami 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 Miami 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.
You can have a price for your Miami Lakes wedding before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
How far will you travel for a Miami Lakes wedding?
Miami Lakes is about 3 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.
Hialeah Gardens, Country Club and Opa-locka are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
My venue is near Miami Lakes rather than in it — is that a problem?
Not at all. Hialeah Gardens is about 2 miles from Miami Lakes, with Country Club and Opa-locka 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 Miami Lakes wedding?
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.
Can we taste the cocktails before the wedding?
We build the list with you rather than handing you one, and we will talk through exactly what goes in each drink. Tastings are arranged case by case — ask when you book.
Mocktails and frozen drinks sit on the same list as everything else, so guests who are not drinking are not an afterthought.
What happens if my Miami Lakes wedding runs late?
We would rather stay and clear the bar down properly than leave a job half finished, and the crew plans for the evening rather than for the minute.
Anything beyond the booked hours is agreed on the night and charged at the ordinary hourly rate.
What is included in a Miami Lakes wedding booking?
The staff, the bar, and the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware behind it. Setup and breakdown are part of the booking rather than line items.
The drinks list is built with you — classics, frozen drinks and mocktails as the room needs — and the team is on site about 1 hour before service.
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 !!!!
