How to Book Lemon and Lime Bar: A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Party Started 🍋🍸

Step 1 — 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 you’re unsure about guest count, pick the bracket closest to your estimate — we’ll confirm final numbers later.

Step 2 —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

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

Step 3 —Request a quote (quick & simple)

Use our contact form or email us with:

  • Event type & date

  • Package you’re interested in (or “help me pick”)

  • Guest count and any add-ons you want

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

Step 4 —Review the quote & ask questions

We’ll include everything in writing. Review:

  • What’s included (bar setup, glassware, garnishes, staff hours)

  • What’s not included (venue corkage, gratuity, alcohol cost if you’re supplying it)

  • Timeline (arrival, service window, breakdown)

  • Payment schedule and deposit amount

Ask anything — menu choices, drink limits, timelines, or special requests. We’re happy to tweak.

Step 5 —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

  • We’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 —Plan your menu and timeline

After booking, we’ll schedule a quick planning call or exchange emails to finalize:

  • Signature cocktails (we’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 —Confirm final guest count and logistics (usually 2–4 weeks before)

About 2–4 weeks before your event we’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

We’ll also confirm staff arrival time and the final invoice (balance due date).

Step 8 —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 — we’ll handle the drinks, service, and cleanup.

Step 9 —Final walk-through and post-event follow up

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