When Is A Dry Bar Package Suitable?
Dry hire packages are ideal when you need everything for a mobile bar except the actual drinks. Many clients opt for a dry hire when they have already selected premium spirits for their wedding bar hire and seek a comprehensive solution for staffing and bar setup for their event.

Dry Bar Hire FAQs
Some questions we get asked about dry bar hire packages:-
Is It Cheaper Hiring Just The Bar Than With Stock?
Determining whether a bar package is ‘cheaper’ depends on your criteria. A mobile bar hire package might be more affordable upfront, but it may not deliver the same value. Crafting a dry bar hire package involves renting individual items such as bar hire, glassware hire, bartenders & waiting staff, ice, and staff setup costs. In contrast, ‘all inclusive’ packages offered by bar companies often combine both stock and dry hire goods into a competitively priced bar package.
Dry hire packages are ideal if you’ve already secured or purchased the stock, eliminating that expense. Additionally, it’s important to consider the logistics of storage, transportation, and disposal of waste like empty bottles and juice cartons. Together, we’ll determine the most cost-effective and service-oriented mobile bar solution for your event.
If your event needs are straightforward, requiring just a bar and serving staff, opting for dry hire packages is certainly the most appropriate choice. When you hire a mobile bar through our dry hire service, you ensure that your event’s specific requirements are met with precision.
Can I Still Have Cocktails With A Dry Bar Hire?
Indeed, you can engage our services to prepare the cocktail base without the main spirit for your event. This approach, facilitated by our skilled mixologist, spares you the trouble of acquiring fresh ingredients and liqueurs necessary for your chosen cocktails.
