Frequently Asked

Questions

Why do I need a licensed bartender?

The bar is one of the “hot spots” of your party. By hiring a reputable bartending company, you’re ensuring that your guests have a fun and safe experience while they are celebrating with you. There is a lot of liability when it comes to having alcohol at your event. By hiring us, our $1 million liability policy helps protect you.

Why do you charge what you do?

Our prices reflect our commitment to providing our guests with the highest standards of safety and reliability. We provide our staff with fair and competitive wages as well as continuing education opportunities for both bartenders and management. All of our bartenders are licensed, professional, and covered by our insurance.

Do I have to supply the alcohol?

When you hire Party on the Rocks, you have the option of purchasing alcohol directly from us or supplying your own. Upon booking, we work with you directly to determine the amount of alcohol your event needs and to customize a drink menu that you and your guests will love.

What areas does Party on the Rocks service?

Party on the Rocks serves Seattle and the Greater Puget Sound area, including all of King County, Pierce County, and Snohomish County. If your event falls outside of this area, please contact us for specific pricing.

How many staff do I need for my event?

Let us know how many guests you’ll be having, what kind of food you’re serving and if there are any special requests. We’ll let you know how many staff you’ll need to ensure that all your guests, including you, are wowed by the service they get.

I want to make sure that my home is secure when bringing in people I don’t know.

All of Party on the Rocks staff have been completely vetted by a third-party administrator. We run national background criminal history screening and all have been trained on the job by one of the partners. We also carry a million-dollar liability policy that backs us up.

I’m looking for a sophisticated Bartender for a Dinner Party I am Hosting. Will I find one with your staff?

Our Bartenders vary in age, style, and skills. This is to ensure that we have the right fit for every event. Let us know what kind of party you’re hosting and we’ll make sure we have the right team member.

What if I don’t want to have a tip jar at my home party?

We have lots of clients who just want their guests to enjoy a safe and fun event at your house. We will simply charge you a 25% gratuity and if a guest asks about tip our staff will let them know it has already been taken care of by their host.

Can I provide beer and wine, and have Party on the Rocks bring liquor?

Of course you can! We have many clients who supply the beer and wine for happy hour and then have Party on the Rocks supply the liquor during dinner, or vice versa! This is a great way to keep your costs down while offering a full array of beverages to your guests.

Do you have a Washington State Liquor License?

Yes! Party on the Rocks is one of the only bartending services in the Seattle area that possesses a liquor license. This means that we can provide the liquor, beer, and wine to our private event clients. We offer competitive pricing and can provide everything you need for a full-service bar.

It was a pleasure to work with Josh. He was knowledgeable, professional yet social, and provided high quality service. He also was willing to go above and beyond to assist in the set up and clean-up of our event. I look forward to future events with Party on the Rocks and hope that we can request for Josh specifically for future events!

I had the honor of working with Party on the Rocks at a wedding recently and they are great! There were 300+ guests, and they were able to serve everyone quickly and efficiently. They arrived on time, handled all of the set up the bar areas, and were ready to go when the guests starting arriving. They were really accommodating during planning, quick to respond and really knew all of the details for the day. I'm excited to see such a great new bartending service in the area, and look forward to working with them again!

- Candi B.

Party on the Rocks truly rocks. They were referred by our Day of coordinator and I'm so happy that she did. I can't express how hard this team works and also their level of customer service. Truly professional and I love the family feel. We had a great bartender and two servers. So accommodating and considerate. I would definitely recommended them to anyone.

We hired Party on the Rocks to provide setup, tear down, and server service for my daughter's wedding. Claire and her team were awesome. They were super friendly, observant, and provided spot-on service for our guests. Plates, glassware, etc. were picked up in a timely fashion, and they even went above and beyond and provided beverage service for my 87-year-old mother who couldn't stand in line at the bar! I would highly recommend Party on the Rocks and would hire them again! Thank you Claire and team!

- Jeannie C.

I cannot more highly recommend this event company! They were easy to work with scheduling and everything went smoothly. Claire was amazing and no less than a dozen guests commented to me how awesome she was and very, very helpful. Thanks Party on the Rocks!!!

- Russell J.

These guys are the real deal. We worked together for a wedding and we were thrown tons of curve balls! But these guys rolled with all of the challenges with a smile on their face. Definitely recommend!!!

I worked with Party On the Rocks recently and their bartender KaDeana did such an amazing job. Guests were commenting on how amazing the drinks were, and the clients were so impressed with how clean everything was throughout the night!!

- Torry W.

Claire and her team were so awesome. We hired Party on the Rocks to provide set up, tear down, and serving for my daughter's wedding. Their staff were super responsive, friendly and totally observant. In fact, they noticed that my 87-year-old mother's soda glass was empty, went to the bar and got her a fresh one, and brought it to her. She was thrilled and pleased! Above and beyond!

- Jessica C.

Try as I might I couldn't find a 6th star to click. Claire was wonderful to work with! I reached out to her about two months ahead of my wife's 50th birthday with a pleading, "Help I have to plan something epic and I'm unsure where to start!" From brilliant ideas, to managing absolutely everything, to the execution of an absolutely flawless event, Claire handled absolutely everything flawlessly. Ours was comparatively smaller than some of the other examples here with only about 40 guests. People were praising me throughout the incredible event and I routed all praise right to Claire. THANK YOU!
