Bar service
Four ways to run the bar
Licensed bartenders at $28 per hour each and a $150 setup fee on every package. Pick the one that fits the crowd and the budget.
Please send the venue address and floor plan at least 20 days before the event so we can plan the bar and staffing. Bar packages are available for corporate events too.
Service ware and staff
Themed packages come with standard service ware: disposable plates, cups, silverware, linen-like napkins, chafing racks and sternos. For $4 per guest, upgrade to china plates, mason jar glasses, premium flatware, stainless chafing dishes and drink dispensers; or add just the roll-top stainless chafers for $100 per event. Beverages (lemonade, iced tea, water and ice) are $1 per guest. Premium Dinner includes the vintage china package.
Servers are $22 per hour plus an 18% service fee. Most weddings staff the whole evening: set, serve, clear, pack out. We'll recommend a crew size once we know the venue and headcount.
Questions couples ask
Is there a guest minimum?
Themed packages start at 30 guests. There's no upper limit we've found yet; our kitchen is set up for large guest counts and we'll bring the crew to match.
Can you handle dietary restrictions?
Every menu has vegetarian options, and gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy-aware plates are routine for us. Tell us who needs what and we'll plate and label accordingly.
Is dinner served buffet-style?
Yes. Everything we serve, including the Premium Dinner, is served buffet-style, with staff on hand to keep it stocked and looking good.
Do you work with our venue?
We cater at barns, halls, country clubs, backyards and tents across the Indianapolis area. Send the venue name and we'll tell you whether we've been there.
