Four-Oh-Sips Mobile Bartending

We do not! We have a consultation process and in-depth questionnaire that gives us enough information to help you plan how much alcohol to buy. If you are in the Flathead Valley, we will suggest suppliers that offer discounts for weddings/large groups. We offer pickup and delivery service once your order is paid for so you don’t have to worry about it! We do not profit off of the sale of alcohol, and any alcohol that isn’t used is yours to keep or return to the supplier!

We travel all over the state of Montana! If it is 2.5 hours out of the Flathead Valley (one-way, 5 hours round trip), we do require one-night of lodging (one room) the night of the event if we are scheduled to work later than 8:00 PM MST, for the safety of our staff. At this time, we do not charge for gas or mileage.

We like to accommodate the entirety of your event. Our typical hours are 12:00 PM-11:00 PM with set-up starting at 12:00 PM, and bar open by 2:30 PM, take-down/last call at 10:45 PM and shut down at 11:00 PM. This is adjustable depending on the event/contract. If we are asked to stay later on the day of the event, we are happy to accommodate that, however we do charge $200.00 per additional hour.

Each event has a requirement of either two bartenders or one bartender and a bar-back, with the exception of events <75 guests. We may also release a bartender as the party dies down and it becomes more functional with just one. This is at the discretion of the bartenders on shift. We add a bartender for each 75 person increment. Price will fluctuate and staffing will change based on our best judgement and our agreement, plus how many bars you have set up at your event! This is to set your day and guests up for success!

Every contract and invoice go through my platform, HoneyBook. You receive all communications through your email for billing and contracts. We require a 25% non-refundable deposit to book your date and event. The remaining balance is due 10 calendar days prior to your event. We accept Paypal, Visa, MC, AMEX, and Venmo!

This question comes up a ton! Have you ever paid the tab for 200 people at a bar + gratuity? By hiring Tipsy, we assist you in budgeting your alcohol, setting up a custom menu and you get to keep all of the leftover alcohol after the event! When hiring a bar, you will anticipate spending $5,000-$15,000 depending on size including gratuity. We save you literal thousands with our structure and expertise! Bar-staffing an event is essential - most event venues in Montana require a licensed bartending business with certified bartenders and insurance for events that intend on having alcohol.
