These are our rates. Please take note of them so you are not surprised when you get a quote. In addition to our rates, please be advised of the following:
- Processing fee: The $35 processing fee is not a deposit and it is not deducted from the bartender's cost. It is non-refundable for cancelled events.
- Taxi fee: For events ending after 10:00pm, we require a taxi fee to help transport student bartenders back to Columbia. This fee is assessed per cab, not bartender.
- Travel time: For events outside of Manhattan and greater than one hour away, clients may be billed for travel time and associated travel costs. Travel time and method of transport will be determined by the Agency and based on readily available information.
- Method of payment: Our bartenders accept cash, check, or any mobile payment form (ex: Venmo or PayPal). Our bartenders do not accept credit cards.
