The Hammocks celebrations
Your celebration in The Hammocks, start to finish
Running bartending services out to The Hammocks is about 21 miles southwest of work before the bar is even built. That is our side of the arrangement and not yours — but it is why we would rather have your venue details a week out than an hour out.
The Hammocks has Kendall West and Kendale Lakes close at hand, the nearest about 3 miles out. Guests coming from that direction arrive together, so we build the celebration bar to absorb a front-loaded rush rather than a steady stream.
There is no The Hammocks city hall to call — it is an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade. For a celebration that usually simplifies things: one county rulebook, plus whatever your community says about vehicles and hours.
Booking bartending services in The Hammocks 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.
Pricing a celebration in The Hammocks starts at $85/hour against a 3-hour minimum, and the wizard below gives you your own number before you talk to anyone. Distance across the county does not move the rate.
If you are comparing options for a celebration in The Hammocks, 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.
How far will you travel for a The Hammocks celebration?
The Hammocks is about 21 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.
Kendall West, Kendale Lakes and Richmond West are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
How long does setup take for a celebration in The Hammocks?
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 21 miles of drive home notwithstanding.
Do you clean up after a The Hammocks celebration?
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 21 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 celebration 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.
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.
What is included in a The Hammocks celebration 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 !!!!
