Oakland Event Catering FAQs

Do you provide the alcohol?

No — alcohol is on you, service is on us. It's a dry-hire arrangement: you purchase what you want served, and our licensed bartenders handle the rest, from setup to last call. Our mobile bar packages are priced by guest count and bar style.

What's included in a quote?

Every quote reflects exactly what you're booking — dessert, bar, event staffing, or some mix of the three. Packages booked together typically cost less per guest than booking separately. Tell us about your Oakland event and we'll send real numbers, not a rough range.

Do you carry insurance?

We do — general liability and liquor liability coverage on every event. Oakland venues frequently ask for a Certificate of Insurance ahead of time, and we're happy to provide one whenever it's needed.

What space/venue requirements do you need?

That depends entirely on what you're booking — a dessert cart is compact, a full bar setup with staff needs more room to move. Send us your Oakland venue details and we'll confirm exactly what space and power we'll need.

How far in advance should I book?

Sooner is always safer. A 50% retainer secures your date, and Oakland's wedding-season weekends book up months in advance. We've had clients lock in a date a year out and others just a few weeks before — either way, earlier gives you more options.
