Booking a corporate event bartender here
What a The Hammocks corporate event actually involves
Running a corporate event bartender 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.
Kendall West sits about 3 miles from The Hammocks, with Kendale Lakes and Richmond West following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a corporate event, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
People search The Hammocks because it is where they live rather than because it is a municipality. For a corporate event that means county regulations and then your venue's own view on access, timing and how late the bar may run.
What you actually book for a The Hammocks corporate event 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.
Pricing a corporate event 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.

What time do you arrive for a corporate event in The Hammocks?
About 1 hour before service. Over about 21 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 corporate event 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.
How many bartenders for a The Hammocks corporate event?
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.
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 corporate event 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.

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 !!!!
