Booking an Event with NoCo Cocktail: How Does it Work?

Point of view: you’re planning a cocktail party, birthday party, or perhaps your wedding in the Denver area and you want a professional, affordable, insured, and experienced bartender to come up with unique cocktails, serve wine or beer, and engage with your guests. NoCo Cocktail is your partner in craft cocktails, affordability, and exceptional service. It can be confusing knowing what is provided in a private bartending service, so I’m here to cover the process of booking with us. 

Discovery Call: First we set up a time to connect with you via phone/zoom/text depending on what you prefer. We ask questions about your event, guest count, venue, and cocktails you love and want to feature. We provide information on our packages, which offer a lot of flexibility and value (we even offer a mocktail menu). During the call, we will discuss pricing details and give you an overview of the services we provide. 

Follow-up Email: Next, we follow up with an email, summarizing the information we talked about so that you can refer to it as we move forward. If you asked for specific package information, a list of cocktail options, or our add-ons list, we will include all of that in the email, as well as the pricing information we discussed on the phone. We also include details on timing, what we will provide, versus what you provide, etc. This is unique and customizable for each event. If we decided on a menu during our discovery call and you asked for an ingredient list, we will provide that in this email. Something to note in our packages, we are happy to provide mixers/garnishes and several other items needed for bartending service.

Customized Package: After you receive the summary and know which direction you’d like to go, we kindly ask that you either give us a call or send us an email back letting us know within 5 business days. We typically respond to requests within 2-4 hours, with the max being 1 day. With your quote finalized, we will send you a confirmation email letting you know you are booked with us for the specified date!

Event Coordination: As we continue to move forward toward the date of your event, we stay in touch with you in case any questions come up or if we need additional information. We confirm venue or residence access and any other details we may need. 

Event Day Setup: We arrive at the event ahead of time - typically 30-45 minutes before guest arrival or the time we confirmed with you specifically. We make sure everything is organized, set up, stocked, and ready to go. 

The Fun Part: We provide friendly and professional service to you and your guests and customize drinks based on requests or menu options we decided on initially. We strive to complete orders quickly and efficiently, keeping the party going. 

Cleanup and Departure: When the event starts to wind down and after last call, we pack up, clean our area, and make sure the space is as nice as we found it. We ask for payment at this time, which we take through a variety of platforms including Venmo, Square, Thumbtack, Apple Pay, Paypal, etc. We also appreciate any gratuity you choose to leave for our staff. 

Feedback: After the event, we may reach out to you requesting a review or feedback. This helps us to continue to offer great service and improve in any areas we can. This is a huge support for our business and we appreciate your help!

We’d love to work with you on your special event to provide great drinks and service. If you're interested in booking an event with us, fill out a free quote request HERE or reach out to Cara directly: cara@nocococktail.com
