Mobile Bartending FAQ | Coastal Winos St. Marys GA

Question 1

How far in advance should I book Coastal Winos?

Accepted Answer

For weddings and large events, we recommend booking at least 3–6 months in advance to secure your date. For smaller private parties, 4–6 weeks is usually sufficient. That said, reach out regardless — we'll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when our schedule allows.

Question 2

How do I get a quote?

Accepted Answer

Simply fill out the contact form on our Contact page or give us a call directly. We'll ask a few questions about your event — date, location, estimated guest count, and type of service — and get back to you with a custom quote, usually within 24 hours.

Question 3

Do you require a deposit to hold my date?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a deposit is required to officially reserve your event date. The deposit amount and payment terms will be outlined in your service agreement. We accept multiple payment methods for your convenience.

Question 4

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Life happens — we understand. Our cancellation and rescheduling policy is outlined in your service contract. In general, we work with clients to reschedule when possible. Cancellations made well in advance may be eligible for a partial deposit refund.

Question 5

Is Coastal Winos licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coastal Winos is a registered LLC and carries full liability insurance. We can provide proof of insurance to your venue upon request — this is a common requirement for many event spaces and we're happy to accommodate it.

Question 6

Do you have a liquor license?

Accepted Answer

Mobile bartending services in Georgia operate under the host's liquor license or the venue's license. We can walk you through exactly what's needed for your specific event and location. In most cases, private events on private property have straightforward requirements.

Question 7

Can you serve at venues that require proof of insurance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We carry general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance naming your venue as an additional insured. This is a standard request and we handle it regularly.

Question 8

What's included in your mobile bar service?

Accepted Answer

Our service includes full bar setup and breakdown, professional bartending, all necessary bar tools and equipment, and plastic ware. We'll discuss what works best for your event and budget.

Question 9

Do you bring your own bar setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We bring a complete, professionally styled bar setup to your event. Whether it's a sleek modern bar or a rustic coastal-themed setup, we work to match the aesthetic of your event.

Question 10

How much space do you need?

Accepted Answer

Our standard bar setup requires approximately a 10x10 foot footprint, though we can adapt to smaller or larger spaces. We'll discuss your venue layout during the planning process to ensure everything fits perfectly.

Question 11

How long does setup and breakdown take?

Accepted Answer

Setup typically takes 1–2 hours before the event begins, and breakdown takes about an hour after service ends. We factor this into our scheduling so it never impacts your event timeline.

Question 12

Can you create custom signature cocktails for my event?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and it's one of our favorite parts of the process! Harold will work with you to create custom cocktails that reflect your event's theme, your personal tastes, or even your love story for weddings. We'll do a tasting consultation to dial in the perfect menu.

Question 13

Do you offer non-alcoholic options?

Accepted Answer

Yes, always. We offer craft mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages to ensure every guest feels included and has something delicious to enjoy. Just let us know your preferences when we're building your menu.

Question 14

Where does Coastal Winos serve?

We're based in St. Marys, Georgia and regularly serve events throughout Southeast Georgia and Northeast Florida — including Kingsland, Brunswick, Woodbine, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Jacksonville, and Yulee. Not sure if we cover your area? Just ask — we're often willing to travel for the right event.

Question 15

Is there a travel fee for events outside St. Marys?

Accepted Answer

For events within our standard service area, there's typically no additional travel fee. For events further afield, a modest travel fee may apply — we'll always be upfront about this in your quote.
