Holiday party season is our busiest stretch, and for good reason — a seasonal cocktail menu and professional bar staff turn a standard office party or family gathering into something guests remember. Event Bartenders staffs holiday parties across the Denver metro from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, building festive drink menus (think spiked cider, seasonal punch, and classic winter cocktails) around your event, whether it's a company-wide celebration or a family gathering at home.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book a holiday party bartender?
As early as possible — ideally 6-8 weeks ahead for December dates. Holiday season is our busiest stretch and popular dates (especially Saturdays in December) book up fast.
Do you staff New Year's Eve events?
Yes — NYE is one of our most-requested dates. Late-night service through midnight typically carries premium pricing given the demand.
Can you build a seasonal cocktail menu, like spiked cider or holiday punch?
Yes — seasonal cocktail menu planning is included, and it's one of the most popular parts of booking a holiday event with us.
Do you offer company invoicing for corporate holiday parties?
Yes — POs, net-30 invoicing, and itemized receipts are all available for corporate holiday events.
Can you staff both a company party and a family gathering in the same season?
Yes — we regularly staff both for the same clients across the holiday season. Just book each date separately as early as you can.
What if our holiday party venue requires proof of insurance?
We carry general liability and liquor liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance to your venue or building management in advance.
Do you offer non-alcoholic options for family holiday gatherings?
Yes — a mocktail or hot-drink menu (think spiked and unspiked cider side by side) works well for mixed-age family events.
Is holiday season pricing different from the rest of the year?
December dates, and NYE specifically, typically carry premium pricing given demand — we'll always be transparent about this when you request a quote.
What's the latest we can book if our date is close?
It depends on availability, but we recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date — even last-minute requests are worth asking about, especially outside of peak December weekends.
