Encino splits in two for events: the flat streets south of Ventura with deep lots and pool decks, and the Encino Hills above Mulholland where load-in is a driveway problem before it is a bar problem. We quote both differently because they are different jobs.
Encino events demand a level of polish that generic caterers simply can't match. Our founder personally oversees every 90210 event, from the initial cocktail-pairing conversation to the final glass polished at midnight. This is why we cap our monthly Encino bookings — quality doesn't scale without it.
Encino is not just a ZIP code — it's a set of expectations. Trophy kitchens, museum-quality art, guest lists that read like a Vanity Fair issue. The bar has to match. Our founding-client rates in Encino reflect what your neighbors are paying: below the invisible five-figure minimums that established BH-only caterers quote, but with the same white-glove standards.
Our dry-hire model was built for Encino hosts who want great cocktails without the 300% catering markup on liquor. You buy the alcohol at retail (many stores accept returns on unopened bottles), and we bring the bartenders, portable bar setup, premium mixers, fresh garnish, ice program, glassware and menu design. Everything except the bottles.

Usually yes, but tell us before you book. Some hillside drives above Ventura will not take a 12-foot double bar, so we quote the 8-foot setup with a second service point instead. The price does not change — the kit does.
Yes. Amestoy Estates, Royal Oaks and the other gated associations in Encino require vendors on a list in advance. Send us the association name at booking and we submit everything ourselves.
Most Encino backyard weddings land on Signature at $1,495 (60-100 guests, 4 hours, 2 bartenders) or Premier at $1,950 when the guest list passes 100. Travel is included — Encino sits inside the Signature radius.
Los Angeles city noise rules apply. For residential events we plan last call so breakdown finishes before 10pm on weeknights, later on weekends with neighbors notified.
