Sherman Oaks is the Valley's busiest event ZIP for us: Chandler Estates backyards, the hillside streets south of Ventura, and a steady run of 40th and 50th birthdays. The split between flat and hill determines the kit, the crew and the timeline.
Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks bookings — quality doesn't scale without it.
Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks 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.

Intimate is $795 for 30-50 guests over 3 hours with one bartender. Signature is $1,495 for 60-100 guests over 4 hours with two. Those are the two that cover most Sherman Oaks backyards, and both include travel.
Yes, and it is included in every package. For a 100-guest summer event in the Valley that is 150 to 200 pounds — which is exactly the thing hosts underestimate when they try to do it themselves.
Yes, at the same package rates. We run the entire bar as a zero-proof program with fresh-pressed juices, house syrups and the same garnish work.
For a private residential party, generally no. The host buys the alcohol at retail and we provide the labor — that is the dry-hire model under California ABC guidelines. Large events with street closures or amplified sound are a different conversation with the city.
