How does the booking process work?
No. Sabores operates as a dry hire mobile bar in accordance with Massachusetts law.
We provide everything needed to create an exceptional bar experience, including professional bartenders, mixers, syrups, garnishes, fresh ingredients, bar tools, cups, napkins, and ice, while you purchase the alcohol separately.
If required by your venue or town, we are also knowledgeable in the process of applying for one day alcohol permits and meet all the requirements typically needed for applications.
To make the process simple, every booking includes a customized alcohol shopping list with recommended brands and quantities based on your guest count and menu.

Do you travel?
The number of bar staff recommended for your event depends on your guest count, beverage menu, service style, and selected package.
To ensure a seamless guest experience, we typically begin with two bar staff for events of up to 50 guests. For larger events, we'll recommend additional bartenders and barbacks as needed to keep lines short and service running smoothly.
During your consultation, we'll determine the ideal staffing plan based on the unique needs of your event, so you can enjoy your celebration while we take care of the rest.
How many bartenders will my event need?
Absolutely.
Our packages begin with four hours of bar service, and additional service hours can be added before or during the planning process, depending on availability.
Can I extend my service time?
Your remaining balance is due a week or 7 days before your event as outlined in your service agreement. We'll send reminders leading up to your event so everything is taken care of before celebration day.
When is my final payment due?
Absolutely.
Creating personalized cocktails and mocktails is one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Whether you'd like signature drinks inspired by your love story, favorite flavors, cultural traditions, or event theme, we'll craft a menu that's uniquely yours.
Can you create a custom cocktail menu?
Yes. Our bartenders are TIPS certified, and Sabores carries both general liability and liquor liability insurance for your peace of mind. Certificates of insurance can be provided to venues upon request.
Are you licensed and insured?
