Cocktail Bar Hire in Berkshire

The 43 Club is a mobile bar with one aim and one aim only - to shake up the event industry. They also have some useful advice on what you should be including in your requests when speaking to a supplier.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

It really depends on the event. A standard event we require a date, location, number of guests, timings and a rough idea on the drinks they want. When it's a wedding then this can sometimes have a few more layers. Are we just involved with the pre-wedding breakfast reception, or do they want us from pre-wedding breakfast reception through to the end? If it's just the reception then do they need us loaded in and set by a certain time or are we able to set and load just before the start of service. Also information on caterers, we may have worked with them before in which case super easy, if not worked with before then its a case of calling them up and understanding how catering and bar can work in synergy to deliver the best possible experience for the couple.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure the company you go for is reputable, there are a lot of cowboys out there. Don't always be price driven as so often we have had calls a day or two before the event saying they have been let down by the "company" they initially booked, sometimes we have even been called on the day.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Someone once told me - do what you love and everything else will fall into place. I still stand by that today and now my team around me breathe that philosophy. We are all incredibly passionate about the hospitality industry and really know what it means to work in it. We are here to make sure you are left with the most wonderful stress-free memories an event could ever ask for.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Despite being an Add to Event member for some time, we are really only starting out on our Add to Event journey. We have had a few bookings through the platform with the most incredible feedback, annoyingly we have only just started using Add to Event properly to know that you need to confirm a job to gather official reviews. Here's to helping create many more memories through Add to Event.
