Rates typically range from $35 to $75 per hour, depending on location, event type, and bartender experience. National Bartender Staffing offers transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Additional costs may apply for travel, bar rentals, or extra services like cocktail consultation or bar setup.

We’re not just a staffing agency—we train, mentor, and develop our bartenders through one of the top-rated bartending schools in the country. Our team shows up ready to impress, and we’re known for our reliability, professionalism, and fun energy.

For weekend events, we recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance. For weddings and large events, the earlier the better—ideally 3–6 months out—especially during peak seasons like summer and holidays.

We understand that plans can change. Cancellations made more than 14 days before the event may be eligible for a full or partial refund. Rescheduling is possible based on staff availability. Please contact us as soon as possible to make arrangements.

Our main offices are in Southern California, serving Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego, and Ventura County. We also have offices in and serve Las Vegas, New York and Chicago areas. Reach out for events outside these areas and we’ll let you know if we can accommodate. We can travel!

Yes, we do provide alcohol because our agency holds both a liquor license and liquor liability insurance—something many other bartender staffing companies don’t offer. This allows us to fully stock and serve your event legally and safely. We handle everything from helping you craft a customized drink menu to estimating quantities and sourcing all necessary ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Yes. We carry general liability insurance, and additional insurance coverage can be arranged depending on the venue’s requirements. Please let us know in advance if your venue requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI).

Yes. Our bartenders arrive with their own basic bartending tools (shakers, bottle openers, pour spouts, etc.). If you need a full bar setup—including tables, bar backs, or portable bars—we can provide that as an add-on or recommend trusted rental vendors.

Yes. All of our bartenders are certified through National Bartending School, with training in mixology, customer service, and responsible alcohol service (including TIPS or LEAD certification where required by law). They’re not only skilled but also professional, punctual, and polished.

We staff all types of events, from intimate private parties to large-scale weddings, corporate events, brand activations, music festivals, and more. Whether it's a backyard celebration or a black-tie gala, we have the right bartenders for your occasion.
