What areas do you serve?
Cocktails at Sunset LA serves Inglewood and communities throughout Los Angeles County. Local travel is included only when the mapped route is within both 25 road miles and 60 expected driving minutes each way. An exact venue address is required before final travel pricing; events outside the local zone receive an itemized route-based travel quote.
Is alcohol included in the starting price?
No. The client or venue normally purchases the alcohol unless provider procurement is specifically agreed to in writing and itemized. We can provide a customized shopping recommendation after the menu and responsibility split are confirmed.
What does the client need to provide?
The quote identifies the exact responsibility split. The client or venue normally provides the alcohol and event-space access. The approved portable bar may be selected when needed. Mixers, garnishes, ice, cups, coolers, and other supplies are added only after current quantity, availability, active catalog price, and responsibility checks.
Can you help determine how much alcohol to purchase?
Yes. Once we know your guest count, service length, menu, and drinking preferences, we can provide quantity guidance and a practical shopping recommendation designed to limit shortages and unnecessary overbuying.
Can you create signature cocktails and mocktails?
Absolutely. We can create a focused menu of signature cocktails and elevated zero-proof drinks inspired by your theme, season, favorite flavors, or event colors.
How many bartenders will my event need?
Staffing depends on guest count, menu complexity, venue layout, and service style. We will recommend the right number of bartenders—and a barback when helpful—to keep lines short and service smooth.
Do you bring a portable bar and supplies?
An approved portable bar is $75 per event, subject to availability. We can also work from a suitable venue-provided bar. Supplies are not assumed: any mixers, garnishes, ice, cups, coolers, or specialty items we provide require an active catalog record and are verified and itemized for the event.
How much setup and breakdown time is needed?
For future events, each bartender is scheduled and paid for one hour before guest service for preparation and setup, plus one hour after guest service for breakdown and cleanup. Venue access, difficult load-in, or unusual equipment needs may require a revised schedule and quote.
Can you work with my venue or event planner?
Yes. We are happy to coordinate bar placement, load-in, service timing, venue rules, and other logistics with your planner or venue contact before event day.
My venue requires insurance documentation. What should I do?
Send us the venue's insurance and certificate requirements with your inquiry. We will review them with you before booking so you can confirm that every venue requirement is covered.
How early should I book?
As early as possible for Saturdays, weddings, holidays, and corporate events. Short-notice requests are welcome whenever the date, staffing, and preparation time allow.
How do I reserve my date?
Start by requesting a quote with your event details. We will confirm availability and explain the agreement, payment schedule, and any retainer required to officially hold the date.
What happens if my guest count or service time changes?
Contact us as soon as possible. We will review staffing, supplies, and timing, then update the quote when needed. Additional service time is subject to availability and the hourly rates listed above.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
Cancellation and rescheduling terms are included in your service agreement. Because the date is held specifically for your event, retainers and payments may be subject to the timing and terms in that agreement.
