Plan your event bar.
Choose bar staff around your drinks menu, guest count and service schedule. One Events helps you arrange bartender hire in Melbourne and Sydney for parties, business functions and venue events.
Request a bar staffing quote with your date, venue, drinks menu and shift times. If staff numbers are undecided, include your guest count and service setup.
Bartending for product launches
A launch often combines a short arrival rush, presentations and a reception afterwards. Plan when drinks are served, whether service pauses during speeches and who clears glassware while guests explore the product. For cocktails, include the menu, ingredients and preparation space so the brief reflects the work involved.
Combine bar service with guest check-in, floor support or wait staff in one brief. Explore product launch event staffing for a coordinated plan around your programme.
Corporate event bartenders
For networking evenings, client receptions and company functions, describe the service standard, dress requirements and venue procedures. Identify the onsite contact, bar opening and closing times, and responsibility for stock, equipment and waste. Use our venue and hospitality staffing page for shifts alongside an existing venue team.

Standard service or cocktail bartenders?
Beer, wine and soft-drink service involves different preparation from a cocktail menu. Tell us the drinks offered, recipes where relevant, service points and equipment supplied. Include preparation, briefing and clearing in the requested shifts. Explore Melbourne cocktail bartender hire or Sydney cocktail bartender hire for local cocktail service planning.
Who supplies the drinks and bar equipment?
Your enquiry should identify who supplies alcohol, mixers, ice, glassware, tools and the bar setup. List any additional services you would like considered, rather than assuming they are included with staff hire.
How many bartenders should I request?
Describe the guest numbers, drinks complexity, busiest periods and any other duties. A reception with an arrival rush and a party with steady service may need different coverage. Include separate bars or event areas in the brief.
Can I combine bar staff with other roles?
Yes. Add wait staff for food service and clearing, event crew for setup or guest-facing staff for check-in. List each team’s duties, headcount and timing separately.
What should I send for a quote?
Share your event date, venue or suburb, guest count, drinks menu, staff numbers if known and start and finish times. Note bar facilities, access, presentation and relevant certification requirements.
