Questions
Good to know
How much does mobile bartending cost in Toronto?
In the GTA, starter mobile bar packages commonly run about $575–$850 for around four hours of service, and full wedding bars often run $1,400–$2,000 before alcohol.
Your price depends on guest count, hours, the number of bartenders, how custom your menu is and whether we bring mixers, ice and glassware. Use our Build Your Experience tool for an itemized estimate, then we confirm a final written quote. Market ranges are based on published GTA competitor pricing reviewed in November 2026.
Do you provide alcohol?
No. Sip & Tell provides bartending and everything around the bar. The host buys the alcohol, or a licensed venue provides it.
We send you an exact shopping list sized to your guest count and menu, so you buy the right amount. For events outside a private residence, the host usually needs a Special Occasion Permit from the AGCO (apply at least 10 days before the event). At a licensed venue, the venue's licence applies. We never sell alcohol or run a cash bar.
How many bartenders do I need?
We plan one bartender for about every 50 guests, so lines stay short.
Busy cocktail hours, complex menus or several bar stations may need extra help. We recommend the right staffing in your quote.
Do you offer mocktail-only service?
Yes. We offer a full zero-proof bar with craft mocktails, and every package includes thoughtful non-alcoholic options.
Zero-proof bars are great for baby showers, family celebrations, daytime events and guests who don't drink. Because no alcohol is served, no permit is needed.
How far in advance should I book?
Book as early as you can: about 2–3 months ahead for weddings and peak December dates, and at least 3 weeks for most private parties.
Weekends in December book first. If your event is at a rented venue, leave time for the host's Special Occasion Permit, which must be applied for at least 10 days before the event. Bookings within 14 days may include a rush fee.
