“Celebrating a 40th Birthday at home with friends & family, Tipsy Parties really did deliver an exceptional service for us. Our mixologist was a brilliant guy called Carlos, he was, on time, friendly, professional and hit with all of our guests as he engaged with everyone while mixing up some super cocktails! Brilliant and entertaining. Thank you so much only wish we could do this at home every Friday!!”

“We booked tipsy parties for a hen do one Warminster and were looked after by Silviu. We had a brilliant time! Silviu himself was really thoughtful and fun, he brought hen themed goodies with him and took our lead in terms of when we wanted time to chat versus shake cocktails. The cocktails themselves were great as well, including alcohol free options (Silviu shared lots of knowledge as well). It was great to be able to amend the cocktail names to fit our hen theme. All in all it was a fab event!”

“I honestly can’t thank Tipsy Parties enough for helping make my 40th birthday so incredible! A huge thank you to Russell, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I had quite a specific idea of the cocktail menu I wanted, and Russell was so accommodating, helpful and informative throughout the whole process. He was always on hand to answer questions, make suggestions and help me get the menu just right. Then, on the night itself, we had Lucas as our bartender and he was absolutely incredible. He was super cool, calm and collected, even with a very lively party, and delivered the most delicious cocktails all night. The Espresso Martinis were genuinely phenomenal and the Margaritas were exquisite! Thank you so much to Tipsy Parties, Russell and Lucas. You helped bring my vision to life and played such a big part in giving me the most amazing 40th birthday celebration. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough!”

Questions

Do you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?

Yes, we’re clued up on allergies and dietary requirements. Just let us know about any dietary requirements after booking and we’ll take care of the rest.

What if my bartender can’t make it?

Don’t worry. We’ve been doing this for over a decade and have such a depth of cover from reliable bartenders that, in the unlikely event of an unavoidable, unforeseen issue like a car breakdown or illness, we simply cover your booking without any fuss. We even cover other companies’ bookings sometimes, to lend a hand when they’ve let their customer down, even on the same day. Your event is in safe hands.

Can I choose which cocktails are made?

Yes! You can choose which cocktails are made on our tipsy cocktail class and tipsy gold service. You can view our menu here, and you can select your cocktails after you have made your booking. Please provide your choices to us at least 10 days before your party, or at the time of booking if you’re booking with less than 10 days’ notice.

For some of our more tailored packages, for example our gin tasting, we have a set cocktail menu which complements the gins used on the session. Just let us know if you have any specific questions on any of our packages and we will be happy to help.

Please note if you received your quote before 28th July 2026 then you would choose from our previous menu.

Can I still make a booking if I don’t know the full address of my venue?

Yes! We would need to know the nearest town, city or village in order to provide a quote for you, but we know that rental properties don’t always supply you with the complete address until just before the party. When making a booking online you can tick “I don’t know the full address”, then just complete as much of the address as you do know.

What do I need to provide?

For our cocktail classes, all you need to provide is table space. We take care of everything else, right down to the ice! If you don’t have spare tables, no problem! We can bring them along for just £40 per table; each table will accommodate 8–10 guests. Access to a sink is usually required, though we can work around this if we know ahead of time.
