FAQ

Q: What is the per hour cost?
A: Day-Of Coordination $750 - 5 hours max (each additional hour $75), TIP Certified Bartenders $40/hr, Wait Staff $30/hr and Pre&Post-Event Cleaners $45/hr (private residence only).

Q: Who manages the Waitstaff and Bartenders while they are on site?
A: This depends on the event. Often it is either the host of the event or a planner/coordinator for the event that the host has hired like Only In My Dreams Events. If you don't need any total day of coordination, you can hire a "staff manger" who will be the point person for a rate of $50/hr.

Q: Are you able to provide bartenders for cash bars?
A: At this point, we can only provide bartenders for open bar events and can offer other bar staff for one with cash bars.

Q: Does the hourly rate include travel time or just time at site?
A: The time billed is only based on the hours spent on site.

Q: Do you carry insurance?
A: If you would like to be covered under our insurance there is an additional $75 fee. This only includes work done by our staff and does not include any liquor liability. 

Q: What do I need to secure a date for an event?
A: A 50% deposit is due at contract singing and the remainder is due one week prior to the event. Any additional hours worked will be billed by us within five days of the event.

Q: Is there a minimum number of hours or staff I have to hire?
A: No, we are able to provide you with any number of staff for just the time needed. 

Q: How far in advance do you need to know my needs?
A: Demand for servers can be very different on a given date, so if you give us at least a month's notice we will do the best we can to provide the servers you request. Please note the closer the date is to the request date, the less likely we will be able to provide servers to fill your needs, so please reach out as early as possible.

Q: Does staff come to my home/location before the event?
A: Yes, we can have one or more staff visit your location – the flat fee for this is $100.

Q: What will staff wear?
A: Staff will wear white tops and black bottoms unless otherwise requested. 

Q: Should I tip?
A: Tipping is appreciated for quality service, but it is totally at your discretion.

Q: Will holidays affect my rates?
A: There are only a few holidays that carry an extra fee, as these are the dates our staff would most like to spend time with their family and friends. These dates are 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Other than Day-Of Coordination which is $1000 (with each additional hour $100) all other staff members carry a $15 per hour additional charge.

Q: What is the next step?
A: Once we hear from you, we will send you a questionnaire about the event and decide on the best staffing plan. We will then forward a contract with specifics of the event.
