Business of Private Bartending: Engagement Party

On March 14th saturday was an engagement party.  The celebration of two young people starting engagment to be married.   The party was so much fun.  The decorations were simple but way cool.   I loved the bails of hay used as seating.   I'm sure thier wedding will be even more beautiful.

The learning lesson for this event.    Arrive as early as possible and reasonable for the client.  

Why?  The location I was informed of was the not location the event took place.   When I arrived I discovered the change of venue.  I was 1.5 hours early to start set up.   Only to find out the venue location was different.  After getting the address, I rushed to the new location.  Luckily it was only 15 - 20 min away.    I got to the location with 1 hour for set up.  Fortunately a bar was already set up and most of the supplies were ready to go. 

 I pre-juice my lemon and lime juice earlier that morning so basicaly once the bottle and kegs were in place we were ready to go.   My assitant arrive just after me so she was indespensible in helping set up.  I already had my supplies of club soda, tonic, and ginger ale, garnish supplies and misc items in boxes for easy to carry packages.  

Be early, prep as much as possible in advance, and always be ready for any changes that could happen.
