Corporate events, such as holiday parties, product launches, or networking mixers, often have a bar for employees and guests. Ideal Party Store offers bar services for these gatherings. We provide a wide variety of liquor, wine, and beer, as well as key extras like cups, napkins, and required bartending equipment. Here is what to look for when choosing a bar service for a corporate event:
Qualified Bartenders
Experienced bartenders understand the basics of mixology and can quickly make drinks for several guests. The bartending team at Ideal Party Store is certified in TIPS and TAM, alcohol training programs for responsibly serving drinks. Bartenders make sure guests do not become overly intoxicated to keep your party running smoothly. They are also insured to protect against alcohol-related accidents.
Spirit Variety
Bartenders come ready to serve several guests with a large array of high-quality alcohol. Ideal Party Store has everything from the most popular brands of spirits to hard-to-find, premium liquor. We can also supply beer kegs and fine wines.
Choose a customized bar package for your events based on guest count and budget. Packages include different types of spirits, wines, and beers, as well as any selected mixers. A variety of drinks makes sure all guests have something they can enjoy. Select Michigan-made craft beers or wines for guests who prefer lighter drinks. Bartenders are also trained to mix drinks and cocktails like an old-fashioned or a gin and tonic.
Bartending Equipment
When scheduling bar services for your event, Ideal Party Store will bring the necessary equipment to mix and serve drinks. Standard bartending equipment includes:
Mixing Equipment
Bartenders mix cocktail ingredients using tools such as shakers. Some mixed drinks also require a squeezer, strainer, peeler, or muddler. Jiggers, spoons, and ice scoops or tongs are also frequently used. We equip our qualified bartenders with all the necessary equipment to keep your event running smoothly.
Glasses and Napkins
Bartenders come equipped with enough glasses for the different types of alcoholic beverages served. If you have selected a variety of wines, then your bar service will have wine glasses ready. Beer usually needs to be poured into pint-size glasses. Whisky is often served in a distinct tumbler, while other drinks are served in cocktail glasses. For casual or outdoor parties, we can also provide plastic drinkware. Napkins should be given out to event-goers to be used as coasters.
Garnishes and Mixers
Ideal Party Store provides its bartenders with the garnishes and mixers needed to create several different concoctions. Some mixers include fruit juices, ginger beer, or cola. Garnishes vary by drink, so if you want mojitos or martinis, make sure your bartender brings mint leaves, olives, and toothpicks. Other garnishes include lemon and lime wedges, maraschino cherries, or celery stalks for bloody Marys.
