Miami Shores, specifically
The practical side of a Miami Shores event
Miami Shores sits about 10 miles southeast of our Hialeah base — close enough that the drive never dictates the schedule. The crew loads, arrives, and has the bar standing while the room is still being dressed.
You are under a mile from El Portal here, and Biscayne Park and North Miami sit just past it. In a cluster this dense the address alone rarely tells us where to unload, so we ask which entrance is ours and we take the answer seriously.
Being incorporated, Miami Shores answers for its own streets — which mostly reaches you as parking. Where a truck may legally stand for the load-in is a local question, and your venue almost always knows the answer. We only need it asked before the day rather than on it.
The team aims for site 1 hour before your first pour, and we confirm that against your run sheet rather than the other way round. If the speeches, the entrance or the food service move, the bar moves with them.
Booking runs like this. A 25% deposit holds your date, the balance falls due 48 hours before the event, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out. The same terms apply in Miami Shores as anywhere else on this list.
For scale: we have priced 8,203 bartending quotes across Miami-Dade, and a Miami Shores date is quoted from the same rate card and the same catalog as every one of them.
Can you cover a Miami Shores event at short notice?
Often, yes. Miami Shores is about 10 miles from where we load, so the limit is crew availability rather than logistics, and weekend dates are the ones that go first.
A 25% deposit holds the date. It stays fully refundable until 7 days out and the balance is not due until 48 hours before the event.
Can you set up outdoors in Miami Shores?
Yes, and most of what we do is outdoors. Tell us what the ground is like and whether there is shade — a bar on grass and a bar on a patio are set up differently, and we would much rather know beforehand.
Ice and coolers are portioned to your guest count either way, so nothing is warming up while the sun is still on the yard.
How many bartenders will I need in Miami Shores?
It follows the guest count and how long the bar is open more than anything else, and the wizard on this page sizes it as you fill it in.
For a sense of scale: half the bartending quotes we write are for 50 guests or fewer, which is usually one bartender working steadily rather than two standing idle.
How do I book a date in Miami Shores?
Price it in the wizard on this page, then hold the date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the event.
The deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out, and the date can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before it.
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 !!!!
