Full-service bar catering built for the DTLA law firm holiday party, the Culver City studio wrap, the Century City product launch and the El Segundo team retreat. One all-inclusive invoice, W-9 and compliance paperwork on file inside 48 hours, zero gratuity surprises.
The default move for a corporate event in Los Angeles is to book a hotel ballroom at the Beverly Hilton, the Fairmont Century Plaza or the Intercontinental DTLA, then pay the hotel's F&B department $38 per cocktail with a 24% mandatory service charge on top. For a 150-person holiday party that is a $9,000 bar tab before anyone takes a second drink. Full-service bar catering with a mobile vendor runs on completely different math — one all-inclusive package, the company buys the alcohol at retail in the company name, and the mixologists stay on-site for the entire window with no clock-watching.
There is a second structural reason mobile beverage catering wins corporate work in LA: your office is already the venue. The DTLA law firm rooftop, the Culver City studio soundstage, the Santa Monica WeWork mezzanine, the Burbank media district event floor — none of them have a built-in bar. Rather than relocate the entire team to a hotel, we bring the full bar to the office. The team keeps their badges, parking stays comped, nobody books an Uber at 10pm. Three specifics that matter for corporate buyers:
Roughly half of our LA calendar is corporate. The split across the year:
Three tiers tailored for corporate buyers. Each is all-inclusive on the service side — bar, mixers, glassware, ice program, garnish, mixologists, setup and breakdown. The company provides the alcohol at retail. Gratuity is appreciated but never automatically added to the invoice.
For small team happy hours under 50, our $795 Intimate tier covers it. For enterprise and multi-city rollouts, we quote custom.
Corporate clients increasingly treat the bar as a brand surface. The signature cocktail is where that shows up. Standard on our Grand package, available as an add-on at Signature:
Corporate buyers have a vendor-onboarding checklist. We hit all of it the week you book:
Mobile bar catering means the office is often the venue, but we also work the full LA corporate venue circuit. Load-in planning, dock booking and freight elevator scheduling are our job, not yours.
For a Hummingbird Nest Ranch corporate retreat, a Vibiana client gala, or a Montage Beverly Hills closing dinner, our compliance paperwork and vendor packet are already on file with each venue's events team.
Our LA corporate calendar skews across six industries that each have their own event rhythm:
Yes. We issue a standard company invoice with net-15 terms by default (net-30 by request), accept ACH, wire, corporate credit card, or company check. We provide a W-9 before the first invoice and a compliance paperwork within 48 hours of request for your venue or building management.
Yes. We accept purchase orders from Fortune 500 procurement systems — Coupa, Ariba, SAP, Workday — and are set up as a vendor with multiple LA studios, law firms, and real estate groups. Share your PO process and we will match it, including net-30/60 terms where required.
Our Corporate Signature package starts at $1,495 for a 50–100 team event and is the typical minimum for a staffed bar with mixologists. Smaller team events (under 50) can book our $795 Intimate tier. We do not quote per-drink or per-hour rates — one all-inclusive number, no gratuity surprises.
Yes. We run full zero-proof bar programs for dry events, in-office daytime launches, wellness-brand parties, and company environments where alcohol is off-limits. Craft mocktails, functional elixirs, espresso martini zero-proof, kombucha-based cocktails — the mixologists treat the menu the same way they treat the full-strength list.
Yes. If your office or event space already has a built-in bar (common in DTLA law firms, Century City penthouses, and WeWork event rooms) we send bartenders only — same RBS-certified crew, discounted rate. We also do the reverse: dry-hire bar rental without staff for self-serve corporate open houses.
Share the date and the headcount and you will have a real price the same day — not a brochure, not a callback next week.
