University Park corporate events
What a University Park corporate event actually involves
University Park is about 14 miles south of our Hialeah yard: far enough that a corporate event here gets its drive written into the run sheet, close enough that the drive is never the story of the day.
This is a tightly packed corner of the county: Sweetwater, Tamiami and Fontainebleau are all a short hop away, the nearest about a mile out. For a corporate event that usually means shared parking and a load-in that has to be pointed at the right door, so we ask which entrance is ours.
University Park is an unincorporated area rather than a city of its own, so county rules cover your corporate event and the tighter restrictions come from the venue or the HOA. We ask about both before the truck is scheduled.
What you actually book for a University Park 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.
Plans change. A University Park corporate event 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 University Park corporate event before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
What time do you arrive for a corporate event in University Park?
About 1 hour before service. Over about 14 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.
Can the bar go outdoors for a University Park corporate event?
Usually, and most of ours do. Let us know the surface and whether there is shade — a bar on grass and a bar on a patio are built differently.
Ice and coolers are portioned to your guest count either way, so the drinks stay cold from setup through to last call.
How many bartenders for a University Park 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.
Can we taste the cocktails before the corporate event?
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 University Park corporate event?
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 University Park corporate event 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 !!!!
