AWARD WINNING BARTENDERS

 

The Invisible Hostess offers award winning bartending services for your event.  We attribute our success to the holistic way we approach your event.  We care beyond the bar, wanting to understand the different elements to your party so we can offer the best service possible.  

 

WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE LEVEL?

 

We've carefully selected bartenders to handle any complexity level you require.  From basic beer and wine pourers to full open bars, we source professionals from the Seattle and Bellevue bar scene.  With our network, we can handle whatever you throw at us.

CAN I MEET MY BARTENDERS BEFOREHAND?

 

Our rates don't include a pre-event meeting with your bartender.  However, you are welcome to have a phone conversation with your bartender to cover drink questions or general event information.  If you would prefer an in-person meeting, let us know and we can arrange it for a flat site-visit fee.

DOES YOUR INSURANCE COVER ME?

 

We are an insured company, which means our policy only covers The Invisible Hostess and the employees under that umbrella.  You, your guests or your venue are not covered in our policy.

 

Some venues request to be added to our insurance policy, which we will accomodate for no additional charge.

 

We can not add a client to our policy or any other vendor other than your venue.  If your venue is requiring you to carry your own event insurance, you need your own 24-hour policy and they are very easy to obtain.  Here is a reliable, and instant, resource: https://www.theeventhelper.com

WHAT DOES YOUR BARTENDING AGREEMENT LOOK LIKE?

 

We abide by the law as well as implement our own company policies to protect our business.  Before we can serve at your event, each client is asked to sign a bartending agreement in addition to our normal operations contract.  We will not show up if the agreement is not signed.  View agreement here.
