CONFIRM FINAL DETAILS 14 days prior to your event date we will reach out to confirm the final guest count, bar service time and location, delivery/pickup time of the bar and prepare your framed custom bar menu.

BAR SERVICES EXECUTION In the morning the bar and ice will be delivered to the event location to allow enough time to get all refrigerators cool enough before service time. Your bartender(s) arrive 2 hours before your bar service time starts. At this time all alcohol/beverages/mixers/garnishes provided by the client need to be delivered to the event location. Bartender(s) will prepare the bar. Let the party begin!

CLEAN UP At the end of the bar service time the bartender(s) will clean up the bar. They will pack and lock up all left over alcohol/beverages.

We work only with experienced and TABC licensed local Moab bartenders whom we fully trust to provide you with the best bartending experience possible.

3 Months prior to your event: The bartender(s) will assist you with planning your bar needs. This includes suggestions for a general drink menu, 2 signature drinks and help with preparing a shopping list for mixers, alcohol and garnishes. 

On the day of your event:  The bartender(s) will arrive at your event 2 hours prior to serving time to set up the bar with all you are providing and they get the bar ready for your event. 

6 hours service time: The bartender(s) will be serving your guests responsibly until last call will be announced.

At the end of the event: The bartender(s) will make sure the bar area is cleaned up and all alcohol, mixers and garnishes are packed and stored away. Bartenders are not responsible for bussing/cleaning tables, collecting glassware or taking out trash.

We are a full service dry hire bar service. We are happy to refer you to other vendors if you are in need of just a bartender.

If your event is on private property and you are not charging your guests for the bar service, you will not need a permit. If you are on public lands, please check with the local authorities regarding regulations and make sure to secure required permits prior to the event.

If your event is on Bureau of Land Management property: Please check first with the local Moab district office if your event location allows for bar trailers. We have an annual commercial vendor permit that allows us operate in several BLM locations. We will require an additional 3% fee on reservations on BLM land.

No. In the State of Utah you must have a state liquor license to sell alcohol and mobile bars can’t obtain such a license. The client will purchase alcohol at retail cost with zero markup. What you purchased is yours to keep and you might be able to return not used bottles for a refund depending where you purchased your beverages. We will assist you in purchasing the right quantities.

No. You must have a liquor license or permit from the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services to serve alcohol (beer, wine or prosecco) on tap. Events (private or public) and premises/venues can try to obtain a permit, but mobile bar units can’t obtain such a permit in the State of Utah.

Self-Serving stations (for non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverages) are not included in our bar packages.

If alcohol is consumed at the event that is not served by one of the Moab Bar Trailers bartender(s) or consumed from self-serving stations, our general liability and liquor liability insurance is waived for that event and the client becomes directly liable for resulting incidents.

We recommend to use self-serving stations only for non-alcoholic beverages.

In locations where there is no drinking water available, we will provide a total of 5 gallons of drinking water for the included 2 water dispenser hydration station.

We include 320 lbs of ice for the hydration station, mixing cocktails and the water station and to chill beverages in two 150 QRT coolers.

We are not providing ice or water for non-contracted services, including client's personal beverage coolers for storage before/during the event, self-serve beverage stations and caterer buffet/dinner requirements like for example reception dinner water service, among others.

For your reference: We estimate approx. 2 lbs of ice per guest. A 150 QRT cooler can fit 124 cans (12 oz) with 82 lbs of ice or 112 lbs of ice only.

14 days prior to your event we will contact you to confirm the final guest count, bar service time, detailed location and delivery/pickup time for the bar. We usually deliver the bar trailers around 10 am in the morning to hook up to power and to allow the refrigerators to get cold enough.

Depending on the guest count and event location our bartender(s) will arrive 4-2 hours prior to bar serving time to start with their preparations.

Unless it’s an emergency, we cannot move the bar once it has been placed. When you make the layout for your event, please consider placing the bar in a flat and leveled area that has easy access for our delivery truck.

The satellite bar “John Wayne” can be moved from the outside to the inside of the venue during inclement weather.

No. Usually the client or a family member or friend deliver everything to the venue for the arrival of the bartender(s) approx. 4 hours before the bar service time starts and the bartender(s) arrives on site. Some venues allow clients to deliver all bar beverages the evening before the event. Please check with your venue if this option is available for your event. At the end of the evening the bartender(s) will pack all leftovers and lock them up at the venue/event location. During the hot Moab summers we ask clients to pre-chill beverages like beer, white wine, champagne and sodas before they deliver.

Yes. To prepare and pour the champagne toast bartender(s) will need to suspend their bar service for approx. 15 minutes (depending on group size). We don’t include plastic champagne flutes in our bar packages as they tip over easily. For champagne flutes rentals contact https://terravidaevents.com

Included in the bar packages are compostable clear 6, 9 and 12 cups (no champagne flutes), drink napkins and eco-friendly compostable straws. During the Moab hot summers with temperatures above 105 degrees the compostable cups will warp and melt. For this reason we will use regular clear plastic cups instead.

We love custom cups and napkins! We prefer 6 oz for wine, 9 oz for cocktails. In the State of Utah we can’t legally serve anything larger than a 12 oz beer, 5 oz pour of wine and no more than 1.5 oz pour of liquor in a cocktail. There aren’t any package discounts if you are using your own cups and napkins.

Depending on your group size (up to 50 guests) and bar menu we offer glassware upgrades at an additional cost. For events with more than 50 guests we suggest to use an event rental company in Moab or Grand Junction. Please remember bartender(s) won't be responsible for rinsing/cleaning/packing glassware provided - make sure to hire additional staffing for this.

Our packages include a free custom menu listing your signature drinks with ingredients, mixers, liquors and beer you are offering. If you are providing your own menu please make sure that it has it’s own heavy stand and is not smaller than 8x10 or larger than 11x 14.

Yes. Our bartenders are happy to provide you with non-alcoholic options and suggestions for mocktails.

Bar packages do not include gratuity for the bartender(s). Gratuities are at the client’s discretion and are always appreciated.

The Mobile bar trailers need 120V power to operate the refrigerators and lights. If there is no power on site, we have a quiet generator or power banks available at no additional cost. For the free standing satellite bar, client is responsible to provide enough lights over the bar area.

The client is responsible for ensuring trash removal services for their event. Moab Bar Trailers is a bar service company and does not have the facilities to haul away or dispose of event trash. Our bartender(s) will work with the client to ensure to place all bar trash securely and neatly in the agreed-upon location during and after the event.

Satellite bar: The client is responsible for alternative location/coverage at the event venue. Mobile bar trailers: We keep the party going if you don’t mind the rain.

Please contact us if your guest count has increased dramatically and we will work on some options for you. In general for more than 100 guests we highly recommend adding a second bartender. For groups over 125, we require this. We don’t like long waiting lines, and neither will your guests. If your guest count has decreased, the bar service pricing will not change.

We have general liability insurance and liquor liability insurance. Please contact us if your venue requires proof of our insurance coverage. We still recommend that clients have their own event liability insurance including liquor liability to protect them against any damages.

If alcohol is consumed at the event that is not served by one of the Moab Bar Trailers bartender(s) or consumed from self-service stations, our insurance is waived for that event and the client becomes directly liable for resulting incidents.

We highly recommend to have assigned drivers or to organize a shuttle for your guests at the end of the evening to make it home safe.

We require a non refundable 25% deposit to confirm your reservation. Final payment is due 60 days prior to your event date.

Cancellation: From the day of reservation to 59 days prior to event date 25 % (non-refundable deposit), 60 to 8 days prior to event date 75% of contract total, less than 7 days prior to event date 100% of contract total.
