Mobile Bartending Services: The Sippin' Saddle Experience

Please reach us at sarah@thesippinsaddle.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A dry hire is a company that provides only the bartending service and non-alcoholic supplies. We do not provide or sell alcohol. Many companies choose to go this route rather than obtaining a full liquor license and "selling" alcohol. Instead, we are selling the service and the client provides the alcohol. 


Dry hire companies are still certified to serve alcohol and are protected by liability insurance policies. 


Dry hire services can save you a lot of money on your event! Most venues or companies that sell you alcohol packages charge you an amount per person per drink. As we all know, sometimes a good drink can run you $15-$20! Companies often up-charge for events such as weddings as well. 


With our service we help you purchase the amount of alcohol you need and you only pay for the drink service. We can provide all the other items needed, such as ice, cups, napkins, straws, garnishes and mixers. So you pay one price and then the price of your liquor (usually you can get bulk or wholesale prices.) This should save you hundreds if not thousands on your event!


For example: Say you have a party of 100 people and we estimate that about 50% are drinkers. Of those drinkers we estimate most will drink beer and wine. Next we estimate (conservatively) that they will drink about 2 drinks per hour, for a total of 4 hours. That is a total of 400 drinks. If the venue or catering company charges you $10 per drink (which is a low estimate) then you would pay $4000 for drinks. **You would also most likely pay a gratuity fee**


Instead, we price out alcohol for you and let's say you purchase:

1 keg of beer at $150 (which will pour about 165 beers)

24 bottles (12 red and 12 white) around $8 per bottle= $192

4 bottles of Vodka at $10 per bottle= $40

4 bottles of whiskey at $15 per bottle= $60

Total is $442 plus tax


Add a Sippin' Saddle service package at $1800 ($18 per person for 100 ppl) = $2242 total for service and supplies. So compare that to $4000 above and you save over $1700! PLUS, you get to KEEP all the remaining alcohol that is not used after your event. You bought it, so it is yours!



Drinks are our passion and our job! Yes, some venues have in-house bartenders or catering companies can also provide drinks, but this isn't their bread and butter. They have a lot of other factors to worry about when servicing your event. Providing the best drinks and service is not necessarily going to be their top priority, but with The Sippin' Saddle it IS OURS!


We want to make your event unforgettable. We bring the fun and add to the ambiance of your event. We have top-notch bartenders who know how to provide luxury drinks and service to elevate your event to the next level. Your caterer is worried about FOOD, your venue coordinator is worried about the overall success of your event; let US worry about giving your guests the best bar experience in the market!


We have something no-one else has: our beautifully remodeled vintage horse-trailer bar! Your guests will rave when they see the unique concept and we guarantee there is nothing else like it around! Sure, your venue is going to be decorated in most cases, but nothing adds to the ambiance like a fully functional horse-trailer bar pulling up! 


In addition: by providing decoration surrounding our trailer, we can curate a luxurious or rustic setting based on your event space and theme. Our gorgeous picture wall and props add to the fun of any event and will get your guests engaged and having a blast. Who doesn't want an extra backdrop for those amazing professional photos you will have taken? Social media posts? We provide the perfect background! Everything is catered to YOUR tastes and desires.


Don't settle for a boring foldable table or portable bar as your bartending space. Saddle up and choose The Sippin' Saddle mobile bar for your special gathering!
