- How much does it cost to hire Rimdrip for my event? +
- Most events run between $600 and $2,500 depending on guest count, hours, and package. Our starting wedding package is $1,200 and covers two bartenders for 5 hours. For an exact quote, pick your date on /book and fill in the details — you'll see a full price instantly.
- Do you provide the alcohol? +
- No — California ABC licensing makes it simpler and cheaper if the host provides the liquor. We'll send you a customized shopping list once you book, based on your guest count and menu. If you prefer a BYO-mixer-only package, that's fine too.
- How far in advance should I book? +
- Weekends book up 6–12 weeks out, especially from May through October. We do accept last-minute bookings when available — check the calendar on /book to see live availability.
- Do I have to pay anything up front to book? +
- No deposit required to inquire. Fill out the booking form on /book and the owner will call or email you within 24 hours to confirm availability, walk through the menu, and agree on final pricing. Payment details are discussed directly with the owner once your date is locked in.
- Do you travel outside Los Angeles / Long Beach? +
- Yes. We regularly service all of Southern California — LA County, Orange County, Long Beach, Inland Empire, San Diego, and Ventura. Events more than 40 miles from our home base in Bellflower include a small travel fee.
- Are you licensed and insured? +
- Yes. Rimdrip carries full general liability and liquor liability insurance. We'll provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for any venue that requires one at no extra charge.
- Do you do non-alcoholic events? +
- Absolutely. Our aguas frescas, mocktails, and michelada-mocktail bar are a huge hit at quinceañeras, baby showers, and corporate daytime events.
- What's included in every package? +
- Every package includes professional bartenders, all bar tools, cups, ice, garnishes, mixers, setup, and breakdown. You provide the alcohol and a ~6 ft table (though we can provide a branded bar setup for an add-on fee).
- Can you customize the cocktail menu for my event? +
- Yes — and we recommend it. On our pre-event call we'll design a 3–6 drink menu around your theme, colors, and guest preferences.
- How is Rimdrip different from other SoCal bartending services? +
- Most mobile bartenders just pour beer and serve a basic margarita. Rimdrip is known for chamoy-rimmed cocktails, Mexican-inspired micheladas, and aguas frescas — a true SoCal flavor profile your guests won't get anywhere else.
