Frequently Asked Questions
What do you bring if you don’t bring alcohol?
Besides alcohol, my services as a dry hire include bartending and procuring necessary supplies—my pricing is based on what services and supplies you select, it's all about your preferences!

Yes! I can create mocktails for people that don't drink, or anyone under 21
Do you create custom cocktails?
Yes! I can create different cocktails that go with your theme for the event!
Can I tip you?
TIps are appreciated but, not required.
What is a "dry hire"?
A “dry hire” means that you, the client, will provide all of the alcohol needed for bar service at our event. Couture Cocktail Bar will provide the staffing, necessary supplies, and expertise for your event. Couture Cocktail Bar is a “dry hire” because Massachusetts requires a liquor license to vendors who provide the alcohol. This is a legal requirement I must adhere to since Couture Cocktail Bar does not have a liquor license, though is TIPS and ServSafe Certified.
Do you offer an open bar?
Unfortunately, Massachusetts does not allow mobile bars without a liquor license to provide open bar service.
Do you bring a bar with you or do I need to provide a bar area?
I will bring the Couture Cocktail portable bar unless you want to use your own personal one or table.
Do you travel? Where do you travel to?
Yes! Couture Cocktail Bar can join you at your event anywhere within a 120-mile radius of Peabody, MA which includes some locations in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island!
Are you insured?
Yes, we are insured and ServSafe Certified.
Do I need to provide insurance of any kind to hire you?
No, you do not need any supplemental insurance. Couture Cocktail Bar’s insurance covers us both.
Do I need to provide glassware?
Glassware can be rented by us or I can recommend different companies to you but, it is significantly more expensive. Couture Cocktail Bar can provide a variety of disposable cups.
How much alcohol should I provide?
Once I know all the details, I will give you a full list of what and how much to get and if anything specific needs to be bought for the signature drinks!
