Los Angeles, California

Mobile Bar / Servers

In Los Angeles: Mobile bartending is a thinner market here than the size of the county suggests, and this list reflects that honestly rather than padding it. The reason is structural: a great many venues in this region, particularly hotels and downtown event spaces, hold beverage service in house and will not let you bring your own. Where you can supply alcohol, which usually means private estates, canyon properties and blank-slate sites, you become responsible for buying it, chilling it, and hiring licensed bartenders carrying their own liability coverage. Establish which situation you are in before you price anything, because the two paths have almost nothing in common. Budget $2,500 to $11,000, get licensing and insurance confirmed in writing, and ask who is responsible for cutting a guest off, because on a night when people are driving home across the basin that is not a small question.

Buying the beer, wine and spirits yourself

These are retail sources, not event services — nobody here staffs your bar. Where your venue allows it, buying the alcohol yourself and hiring a licensed bartender to serve it is usually the cheapest way to do this line. The rules vary by state, by county and by venue, so confirm what yours permits — and whether your setup needs its own permit — before you count on the saving.
