ARE YOU INSURED AND CERTIFIED?

WHAT DOES YOUR STAFF WEAR WHILE WORKING EVENTS?

Our bartenders hold a standard of professionalism in their uniform that suits any situation. All of our staff at Mon Cherrie MBS, LLC wear black shirts, black pants and black shoes while working at events.

WHAT DOES THE BARTENDER DO VS THE BARBACK

The bartender will focus on serving your guests - whether that is cocktails, beer, wine, or other drinks. The barback usually helps out behind the bar where needed, such as restocking drinks, opening bottles, or even serving customers simple things like beer, wine, or soft drinks if needed.

DO YOU SUPPLY THE ALCOHOL?

No, due to states liquor laws we cannot carry a liquor license but that's okay! Part of our services includes a shopping list, so while we don’t provide the alcohol, we give you a customized list to stock the bar! The best part… You can purchase it at any store you want, saving you a ton of dough!

IS OUTSIDE ALCOHOL PERMITTED?

No, we do not allow any consumption of outside alcohol once our bartenders are on the premise. If guests are found with any outside alcohol, they will be asked to discard it.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING GUEST(S) DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH TO DRINK?

The Host! Mon Cherrie MBS, LLC is trained in alcohol awareness to assist in any situation. I am TAM-certified (Techniques of Alcohol Management). Mon Cherrie MBS, LLC reserves the right to refuse service to guest(s) who, in our professional judgment, appear to have had too much to drink or seem impaired.

DO I REALLY NEED A BARTENDER? CAN MY FRIEND JUST BARTEND?

So you have a friend who has some bartending experience and you're thinking about him or her manning the bar at your event? Short answer - don't. Depending on your guest list, you may have a large portion of your guests who spend a good bit of time at the bar. The interaction that your guests have with the bartender can set the tone for your event. We don't just pass out drinks, We interact with your guests so that everyone is having a good time. Professional bartenders will make your life much easier. Mon Cherrie MBS, LLC is a professional, full-time mobile bar service. We carry the legal liquor liability insurance required by most local venues for bar staff. We are certified, which means that we have passed the states requirements for legal and responsible alcohol service. Part of a professional bartender's job is making sure that your crowd doesn't get too drunk. We have years of experience in serving crowds large and small over long events, and doing so in a way that still give a great event experience while still complying with the law. In other words, with Mon Cherrie MBS, LLC, you can leave the work to us and let your friends and family enjoy the event.

WHY HIRE YOUR BARTENDING SERVICES OPPOSED TO JUST GOING THROUGH OUR CATERER/DIRECTOR?

2. Do they have liquor liability insurance?*

3. Are their bartenders knowledgeable and trained specifically to tend bar?

4. Do they fully set-up and clean-up the bar areas and provide their own bar tools, accessories?

*Both are required by local venues
