FAQ

  • How does your mobile bar service work?

    Golden Hour Cocktails brings the bar to you with customizable packages designed to fit your event’s vibe! Whatever package you choose, we’ll handle the setup, service, and all the details to keep the drinks flowing.

    To book, we require a 50% deposit to secure your date, with the final payment due 30 days before your event. About four weeks prior, you’ll fill out a quick questionnaire so we can finalize logistics, drink selections, and any special requests. From there, we take care of the rest—so you can sip, celebrate, and enjoy!

  • Do you provide alcohol?

    Golden Hour Cocktails is a dry-hire mobile bar, which means we do not provide alcohol. Instead, we offer expert bartending services, bar setup, and all the essentials to craft amazing drinks. You supply the alcohol (it’s cheaper this way for you anyways!), and we handle the rest! Need help with your shopping list? We’ve got you covered—we’ll provide a detailed list based on your selected package to make it easy.

  • Do you travel?

    Yes! Golden Hour Cocktails is happy to bring the bar to you. We proudly serve events in and around Hagerstown, Maryland. Travel over 1 hour from Hagerstown will incur a $50 travel fee to cover additional time and expenses. For longer distances that require an overnight stay, additional fees may apply. If you’re unsure whether your location falls within our range, just reach out—we’d love to make it work!

  • What are the service hours?

    Our highest packages include up to 5 hours of drink service, with the option to add extra time for $100 per additional hour per bartender. We arrive about 2 hours before service starts to set up and ensure everything runs smoothly. If you need us for a longer event, just let us know—we’re happy to customize a timeline that fits your needs!

  • What can we serve at our event?

    Anything you’d like! Since you provide the alcohol, you have complete control over your drink menu. Simply choose the package that fits your event, and we’ll help with drink recommendations based on your preferences. Whether you want classic cocktails, signature drinks, or a mix of everything, we’ll make sure your bar is stocked and ready to impress!

  • What is considered a speciality ingredient?

    A specialty ingredient is anything beyond the standard stock mixers (like Coke, Sprite, ginger ale, soda water, tonic, lemon/lime juice, and simple syrups). This could include things like fresh fruit purees, egg whites, specialty bitters, or unique juices.

    Because these ingredients require extra prep and are used to create more complex cocktails, there is a small additional charge for including them in your drink menu. Let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll work with you to craft the perfect selection!

  • Are your bartenders certified?

    Yes! All of our bartenders are certified in alcohol awareness, as required by the state of Maryland. You can feel confident knowing your event is staffed by trained professionals who prioritize safe and responsible service.
