Beverage Catering Melbourne FAQs

What is beverage catering? Beverage catering covers everything your event needs in terms of drinks, from menu design and supply to professional bartenders, glassware, bar setup, service, and pack down.

Do you provide alcohol and bar staff? Yes. We supply licensed bar staff, a fully compliant mobile bar setup, and beverage packages including beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails, and non alcoholic options.

Can you customise drink menus? Absolutely. Every beverage menu is tailored to your event style, guest list, and budget. From signature cocktails to themed drink menus, everything is personalised.

Are you fully licensed to serve alcohol in Melbourne? Yes. We operate under full Victorian licensing and handle all compliance so your event remains safe, legal, and stress free.

What types of events do you provide beverage catering for? We cater beverages for weddings, corporate events, product launches, private parties, brand activations, milestone celebrations, and VIP functions across Melbourne.

Do you offer non alcoholic and dietary friendly options? Yes. We always include alcohol free cocktails, premium soft drinks, and options suitable for all guests, including those who don’t drink alcohol.

Can you work in venues without a bar or kitchen? That’s our specialty. Our mobile bar setups are designed for venues without infrastructure, including outdoor locations, warehouses, galleries, and private homes.

How many guests can you cater for? We regularly cater beverage services for events from 20 guests through to 500+ guests, scaling staff, equipment, and stock to suit.

Do you supply glassware and equipment? Yes. We provide all glassware, ice, bar equipment, and service ware required, so nothing needs to be sourced separately.

How far in advance should I book beverage catering? For peak seasons and large events, we recommend booking 6 to 12 weeks in advance. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on availability.

Can you provide branded or themed drinks for corporate events? Yes. We create branded cocktails, colour themed drinks, and customised beverage experiences for product launches, brand activations, and corporate functions across Melbourne.

Do you offer bar hire without food catering? Yes. Our beverage catering and mobile bar hire services can be booked on their own, making it easy to add professional drink service to any event, even if you already have a food caterer.
