BZ Mobile Bar Rental & Dry Hire Bartending Services Deposit
Payment Plans available through Shop Pay!
This $1,000 non-refundable deposit reserves your event date for our Dry Hire Bartending Service, which includes the 8ft Bar Rental. This is not the final price. It secures your date while we finalize the full quote.
What the Final Price Covers
This deposit covers date reservation only. Your full quote will include:
- Base service for your selected duration (3-4, 5-6, or 7-8 hours)
- Per-guest charge ($10/guest, or $14/guest for heavy drinker events)
- Additional bartender for events of 50+ guests
- Any add-ons selected (Hydration Station, Specialty Ice, Branded Coasters/Cups, etc.)
- 20% gratuity
- Travel ($200 standard, free when bundled with a BZ tent rental)
- After-midnight surcharge if applicable
Service fees, per-guest charges, add-ons, gratuity, and travel are all itemized in your quote and invoiced separately from this deposit.
⚖️ Extended Service Hours: No 5-Hour Cap
Because BZ Tent Rentals provides bartending services under a dry-hire model (you provide your own alcohol; we provide the bar, bartenders, and premium ingredients), we are not subject to the 5-hour service cap that applies to licensed caterers under M.G.L. Chapter 138, §12C. Your event can run as long as you need, whether that's a 3-hour cocktail hour or an 8+ hour wedding reception. Additional hours beyond 8 are available at $215/hr for a single bartender, increasing by $130/hr for each additional bartender required by your guest count (a second bartender is added at 50+ guests, a third at 125+).

What Happens After Your Deposit
Expect our first follow-up within 24-48 hours of your booking to confirm event details and start menu planning. We'll walk through your signature cocktail menu, finalize any add-ons, and lock in logistics. Final menu and event details are confirmed 14 days before your event when the balance invoice is sent.
Delivery & Setup
If you're bundling with a BZ tent rental, your bar will typically be delivered and broken down alongside the tent setup. For events without a tent rental, the bar is set up the day of your event and broken down after service ends.
Note: Booking this deposit without completing the quote calculator first will require a follow-up call to gather event details and may delay your reservation.
