Wedding Bartender, in Tamiami
What a Tamiami wedding actually involves
A wedding in Tamiami means about 14 miles across the county for us. We plan the arrival backwards from your start time rather than forwards from ours, which is the entire reason your schedule survives contact with traffic.
University Park sits about 2 miles from Tamiami, with Sweetwater and Kendale Lakes following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a wedding, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
There is no Tamiami city hall to call — it is an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade. For a wedding that usually simplifies things: one county rulebook, plus whatever your community says about vehicles and hours.
What you actually book for a Tamiami wedding is a licensed, insured team, a bar that photographs well, and a drinks list built with you rather than handed to you. What you do not book is a stranger who turns up and asks where the ice is.
You hold a Tamiami date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the wedding, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out — the same terms here as everywhere else we work.
Every wedding bartender we run in Tamiami is quoted from the same rate card as the rest of Miami-Dade, so the number the wizard gives you is the number we honour when you book it.
Do you do weddings in Tamiami?
Yes, and it is one of the things we are booked for most. Tamiami is about 14 miles south of our Hialeah base, and a wedding here runs on the same kit and the same crew as anywhere else in the county.
You can price yours in the wizard on this page before speaking to anyone.
How long does setup take for a wedding in Tamiami?
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 14 miles of drive home notwithstanding.
How many bartenders for a Tamiami wedding?
It follows the guest count and how long the bar stays open. The wizard on this page sizes it as you fill it in.
Half the bartending quotes we write are for 50 guests or fewer, which is usually one bartender working steadily.
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.
When should the bar open at a Tamiami wedding?
Usually as guests arrive, and then it follows your run sheet from there — quiet for the speeches, busy again afterwards.
Tell us the shape of the evening and we will staff the peaks rather than spreading the same crew flat across the night.
What is included in a Tamiami 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 !!!!
