How to Book Lemon and Lime Bar: A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Party Started ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿธ

Step 1 โ€” Browse our packages and decide what you want

Start by checking our packages on the Services page. Think about:

  • Event type (wedding, party, corporate, festival)

  • Guest count (how many will drink?)

  • Vibe (classic cocktails, craft signature drinks, BYOB support)

  • Add-ons you might want (custom menu, themed decor, non-alcoholic options, extra staff)

Tip: If youโ€™re unsure about guest count, pick the bracket closest to your estimate โ€” weโ€™ll confirm final numbers later.

Step 2 โ€”Check availability for your date

Once you have a date and venue, reach out to us with:

  • Event date & start/end time

  • Venue name and address (does it have parking / load-in access?)

  • Estimated guest count

Weโ€™ll check our calendar and let you know if weโ€™re available. If your date is popular (spring/summer wedding season), early booking is best.

Step 3 โ€”Request a quote (quick & simple)

Use our contact form or email us with:

  • Event type & date

  • Package youโ€™re interested in (or โ€œhelp me pickโ€)

  • Guest count and any add-ons you want

Weโ€™ll send a personalized quote that includes package pricing, staffing, travel fees (if any), and policies on deposits & cancellations.

Step 4 โ€”Review the quote & ask questions

Weโ€™ll include everything in writing. Review:

  • Whatโ€™s included (bar setup, glassware, garnishes, staff hours)

  • Whatโ€™s not included (venue corkage, gratuity, alcohol cost if youโ€™re supplying it)

  • Timeline (arrival, service window, breakdown)

  • Payment schedule and deposit amount

Ask anything โ€” menu choices, drink limits, timelines, or special requests. Weโ€™re happy to tweak.

Step 5 โ€”Reserve your date with a deposit

Happy with the plan? Secure your date by paying the deposit. Once we receive it:

  • Your date is locked in

  • Weโ€™ll send a booking confirmation & contract to sign

We recommend reading the contract closely for cancellation and weather policies (important for outdoor events).

Step 6 โ€”Plan your menu and timeline

After booking, weโ€™ll schedule a quick planning call or exchange emails to finalize:

  • Signature cocktails (weโ€™ll give suggestions based on your theme)

  • Non-alcoholic options and mocktails

  • Service timeline (when the bar opens, last call, breakdown)

  • Any special dietary or allergy considerations

We can create a printable menu for your cocktail station and help with cocktail names if you want something playful.

Step 7 โ€”Confirm final guest count and logistics (usually 2โ€“4 weeks before)

About 2โ€“4 weeks before your event weโ€™ll ask you to confirm:

  • Final guest count (for staffing & ingredient orders)

  • Venue contact person and arrival details

  • Parking/load-in instructions and any venue rules

Weโ€™ll also confirm staff arrival time and the final invoice (balance due date).

Step 8 โ€”We arrive, set up, and run the show

On the day:

  • Our team arrives at the agreed time to set up professionally and on schedule

  • We bring everything we need (bar, tools, glassware, garnishes, signage if requested)

  • We coordinate with the venue or planner so service is smooth and unobtrusive

You relax and enjoy โ€” weโ€™ll handle the drinks, service, and cleanup.

Step 9 โ€”Final walk-through and post-event follow up

After the event weโ€™ll break down and leave the venue as we found it. If thereโ€™s anything you want us to follow up on (photos, final receipts, feedback), weโ€™ll reach out so we can make future events even better.
