CONTRACT DETAILS

Legal Compliance

Wild Coast Cocktails will work in compliance with all applicable local health department rules and regulations relating to preparation, service, and COVID restrictions.

Securing Your Event

A non-refundable retainer fee of $250.00 is required to dedicate our services to your event, and unlocks access to customized cocktail menus. If cancellation of services is requested, this non-refundable fee will cover the costs associated with consultation hours, menu creation, and finding a replacement booking for your date. Events booked within 14 days notice may incur an additional service fee. Payments are accepted via e-Transfer to wildcoastcocktails@gmail.com or credit card [Square Invoice + 3% processing fee].

​

Payments

Finalization of event details is requested 2 weeks prior to the event date, with non-refundable full payment of Services + Liquor / Materials requested 1 week prior to the event date. Most unopened liquor is eligible for a full refund credit, sent back to you via e-Transfer within 1 week after event completion.

Tips for Bar Staff

Depending on service requirements [open bar], an 18% gratuity may be added to the total service cost, and tip jars / Square will be at the bar for guests to leave shared cash / card tips for bar staff. If you prefer not to have tip jars on the bar, the gratuity may be adjusted to 20% to accommodate this choice. Wild Coast Cocktails staff are responsible for all liquor service related duties, including responsible beverage service and glassware maintenance, and are often on-site for 8 hours or more [depending on event requirements].

Special Event Permits / Drink Sales

If your event is hosted at a public venue, a Special Event Permit will be required to serve liquor. This permit must be in the name of a sober guest with valid / non-expired Serving It Right certification - if certification needs to be obtained or updated, the 4 hour online course can be found here. If you plan to recover costs by charging for drinks, you will have to declare the charges on the permit and pay the associated sales taxes. Events hosting an open bar pay only the base cost of the permit. For sanitation and liability reasons, Wild Coast Cocktails Staff do not handle cash transactions in exchange for drinks on the bar - if wanting to sell drinks through a Special Event Permit, conversion of cash to drink tickets can be arranged with our bar staff.

If your event is hosted on private property, a Special Event Permit cannot be obtained and liquor cannot be sold. Instead, consider having a donation jar for guests to contribute to your overall event costs.

​

Bar Station Setup + Breakdown Requirements / Coordination with Venue

Our workstations require a flat, covered, 10’ x 10' to 15' x 15' service area, ideally near power, accessible as much as possible with our truck and utility trailer, off-site / vendor parking (40'), and bathroom access for staff. Occasional access to a food safe water area for refilling water dispensers and washing some barware is helpful, but not required.

Depending on equipment and accessibility, pre-event setup can take around 4-6 hours, therefore we request access to the venue earlier in the day [or the day prior] to allow plenty of time to prepare for service. Post-event breakdown and cleanup can take around 3 hours, and will start 1 hour prior to service end - at this time, glassware will switch to plastic cups to ensure all pieces are collected by the end of service. All equipment will be cleared from the venue after service ends, unless otherwise specified.

Selecting Your Menu

Custom menus are created for all tastes and budgets. All craft selections are made with premium ingredients. Hosts are responsible for covering the costs of liquor + fresh materials, costs vary depending on selections. Most unopened liquor can be returned for full refund credit, while open liquor, specialty / local selections, damaged units, and fresh materials are non-refundable.

Average Serving Cost = $2.00 - $6.00 [Average 1 Serving / Guest / Hour]

​

Liquor Quantities

Accurate guest count is vital for calculating accurate total servings. We strive to provide an accurate estimate of how much liquor + materials to supply based on the number of guests, menu selections, and average consumption [light, moderate, heavy], confirmed by the host prior to event service.

If the bar is understocked and runs out of drinks during service, the bar will shut down earlier than the scheduled end time - liquor store runs during service are not allowed, and will not be offered if the bar runs out of drinks before service end time, or if special requests are made outside of the prior discussed and provided drink menu.

If too much liquor + materials is supplied, there is a greater risk of unnecessary waste and large liquor returns [10% restocking fee may be deducted from total liquor return, as per BC Liquor Store return policy].

​
