Terms and Conditions

                                                                INSURANCE

Bottles UP Bartending carries $300,000 General liability Insurance, and $100,000 Liquor liability Insurance. If your venue requires to be put on as an additional insurer or to just have a copy of our insurance, please let us know, and we’d be happy to comply.

We reserve the right to have our & others’ business cards, branded matchbooks, & branded menus displayed at every event.

The host is responsible for supplying all staff with convenient parking. You are responsible for all parking fees for all staff.  If you violate this policy, you will be charged an extra $50 per Staff Member. If the lack of convenient parking leads to the staff’s inability to setup on time, they reserve the right to keep the bar closed for the allotted setup time until they are ready to serve.

Bottles UP Bartending  reserves the right to change policies at any given moment. If you have booked prior to the new policy change, you will be notified of the new changes and be obligated to follow them.

Most private events do not require pulling a permit to use a liquor license. If your event is closed to the public & there is no direct sale of liquor, you do not need a permit. Some venues do require you to pull a permit regardless, but that is just their policy and not the law. Pulling a permit might be subject to a fee of up to $500.

For events that require pulling a permit, please book up to 30 days before the actual event to allow for enough time to file the proper paperwork. For events that require pulling a permit booked with less than 30 days’ notice, you may be subject to a rush fee of $100-$500 depending on the timeframe & complexity of the event.

Providing all the necessary information to plan a party is crucial to the success of your event.

Mr. Bartender must be informed of all event details requested via the Mr. Bartender booking form. Especially important details include, but are not limited to: Reason for the Event, Accurate Guest Count, Accurate Event Start Time, Layout of the Event Space, use of Glassware vs Plasticware, Multiple Bar Locations, Logistical Obstacles to Setup and/or Service (stairs, elevators, hills, security doors, long distances between service points, poor dollie access, etc.), if other Bar/Serve Staff is Also Hired, and if the Bar will be Under Direct Sunlight.

Failure to fully disclose event details, providing inaccurate information, or providing intentionally misleading information may result in up to an additional fee of $150/Bar Staff & $75/Serve Staff, depending on the severity of the result of failure to disclose.

Any event taking place at a location that is 30 or more miles from Toledo, OH may be subject to a travel fee. The travel fee is calculated based on staffing requirements, so if the staffing is changed since the initial quote was given, the travel fee may be automatically changed as well.

Should the Client cancel the event within 72 HOURS before the services are required, the Bartender will receive $0, and deposit will be returned. Should the client cancel less than the allotted 72 hours, NO Deposit shall be returned. Any items that have been already prepared or purchased for your event will be charged in full, regardless of the time of cancellation. Cancellation refers to any part of the booking, including, but not limited to, rentals, purchases, ingredient prep, and/or staff. Events that end earlier than initially invoiced are not eligible for a refund of unused time. If you cancel your event, you can still apply the deposit to a future event as long as it falls within 6 months of the original event.

We accept payment in the form of Cash, Money Order, Venmo, and all major credit cards.  A deposit of $50 of the total will be required upon booking. The rest of the balance will be required 72 hours before the event. If balance is not paid, We will NOT proceed with event and no deposits will be returned. Your credit card information will be required upon booking. There will be a payment link sent via email or text for you to complete your payment. If payment is not invoiced or collected at the appropriate time, it is still owed. Unused time is still subject to be charged. We do not refund for staff being sent home earlier than scheduled. If you wish to pay in cash, you must place the cash in a sealed envelope made out to Bottles Up Bartending. 

All staffing & bar rental rates are 50% higher for major holidays & 25% higher for minor holidays.  Major Holiday dates include: October 31st, November 24th & 25th, and December 24th, 25th, & 31st.. Minor Holiday dates include: January 1st & July 4th. These policies are based on how common events are & how difficult it is to find staff on those days, and not on the importance of these or any other holidays.
