Can I book a bartender in Aberdeen during the Spectra Light Festival (February)?
Yes, you can absolutely book during the Spectra Light Festival. Just be aware that parts of the city centre have temporary road closures. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning the Spectra Light Festival when you book and we can advise on whether to allow some extra setup time.

We certainly can. Student halls, shared houses, rented flats and any other type of accommodation all work perfectly. Your bartenders travel to you with all the equipment needed to prepare your chosen cocktails.
What if my venue in the city centre around Union Street in Aberdeen does not have parking nearby?
No problem at all. Your bartenders are used to city centre setups across the UK. All parking costs are included in your booking and our team will find suitable parking near your venue, whether that is an NCP, pay-and-display, or a residential street. You do not need to arrange anything for us.
Do you cover areas outside Aberdeen?
Yes, we cover all of Aberdeen and the surrounding area. We also offer a cocktail making class in Aberdeen. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!
How far in advance should I book a bartender in Aberdeen?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Aberdeen. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
