    About Us

    Blue Label Bartending

We can serve private parties anywhere from our Tulsa and Oklahoma City offices. We provide licensed bartenders and supplies for private parties and carry a $1 million commercial liability insurance policy and a $1 million liquor liability insurance policy. Our bartenders are experienced, energetic individuals and will make your event a success. We come to your location and professionally serve drinks. Customers provide the alcohol, soft drinks, garnishes, and mixers while we can provide everything else. We can serve everything from beer and wine to martinis, tropical drinks, craft cocktails, signature drinks, and much more. No party is too big or too small; we are excited to serve a personal pool party or a corporate event with several thousand guests. We always follow your suggested dress code.

    Does Blue Label Provide Alcohol, mixers, or garnishes?

     No. 


    We are a bartending service, not a caterer. Only a caterer with an off-site liquor catering license can provide both the service and the alcohol, mixers, and/or garnishes in Oklahoma. 

    The customer is responsible for purchasing and transporting all alcohol, mixers and fruit garnishes. 


    Take advantage of our highly-regarded Suggested Shopping Lists, tailored to your party, so that you know what type and how much to purchase. Request one at any time once you have booked with Blue Label Bartending. 


    What About Cash Bars?

    We generally discourage the use of cash bars. Even if your party is a private event there are special licenses needed for you to have a cash bar. Unless you are an organization with a Special Events Liquor License or a licensed caterer you should consider having an open bar (free drinks for your guests). If you want a cash bar and do not have a catering or special events license we will not serve your cash bar. 

    Where do you serve from?


    Customer will ensure there is at least one to two tables available per bartender, a bar at the venue, or a bar rental.  Customer is responsible for any linens or tablecloths for bar tables.

     

    If there are multiple bar locations additional bartenders and/or bar backs may be needed. 


    Outdoor bars will be subject to additional fees. 

    How Do I Deal With Ice?

    Other than the alcohol, ice is one of the most important yet often overlooked items needed for your party.  For your convenience ask about having Blue Label Bartending provide ice and coolers for your event. Please note that we do not provide ice for beer kegs; the customer is responsible for keeping the keg chilled. 


    If you are providing ice we will need ice and a cooler to chill beer, wine, and/or champagne, and clean drink ice for mixed drinks. Please provide at least one 100-quart ice chest with 50 lbs of ice per 50 guests.  

    How Do I Deal With Cups?

    Blue Label offers multiple cup packages. 

    Our standard package of clear plastic cups includes 9oz for wine, and 12oz for mixed drinks and beer.


    We can recommend rental accommodations for glassware. 

    What If I Want Kegs?

     

    Kegs can be easier to deal with than bottles/cans, but this depends on several factors.  If you decide to have kegs, you will need to either secure a professional keg service, a commercial jockey box, or rent our stainless steel keg taps.  Nothing ruins an event quicker than warm beer or a cheap delivery system that breaks soon after the event starts. 


    If you don’t go through a professional keg service and want to provide the kegs yourself, here’s what you’ll need to think about: 


    • Kegs take a very long time to chill.  You will need to ensure the kegs are encased in ice and stable for at least 6 hours prior to the party. 


    • You will need to provide something leak-proof in which to house the kegs, such as large trash cans with plastic liners.  


    • You are responsible for all ice for the keg both before and during the party.  


    • Lastly, if you do not have professional jockey box service you will be required to rent our keg taps. The plastic taps which typically accompany keg rentals  are flimsy and break easily. Again, the last thing we want is to be in the middle of your reception, have a keg tap break, and therefore become unusable. Our taps are made of chrome, are very durable, and up to  twice as fast to pour a drink.  They work on all American kegs. Please let us know if you need a European style keg tap.

     

    How Do I Tip?

    In order to ensure that the bartending staff is adequately compensated for their work, it is often the practice of event hosts to add a 25% gratuity to the bill for service as a tip. 

    If guests are tipping at a host bar, $1 - $5 per drink is standard, depending on the complexity of the drink. 

    Event Policies

    • Add minimum 25% gratuity on total charge if tip jar not allowed. 
    • Increased rates for events held on holidays.
    • When a wedding ceremony and reception are at the same venue, the wedding ceremony is included in the event time.
    • Under no circumstances are guests allowed to serve their own alcohol. All alcohol will be under the care of the bartender and served only by a Blue Label bartender at all times.
    • Bartenders reserve the right to refuse service to anyone regardless of reason, close the bar early if necessary, and/or report to security or law enforcement. Bartenders will not serve minors or intoxicated guests.
    • All alcohol service must end at or before 11:00 pm, or will incur additional charges.
    • Open bottles of beer and champagne will be discarded at the end of the event if the event is a rented location (not a residence). Unopened or resealable bottles will be packaged for transportation away from the event.
    • In accordance with Blue Label policy, all guests must have valid identification in order to be served alcohol, including the bride/groom/wedding party and/or host.  In all circumstances, in accordance with state and federal guidelines, anyone under the age of 21 or those guests who are unable to present a valid ID will not be served or allowed to consume alcohol.
    • A nonrefundable retainer fee due upon booking. The remaining balance is due the Monday before the event. A weekly 15% late fee will be added to any late payments and any discounts will no longer apply.
    • Full contract details will be emailed. 

    Do you serve LGBTQ+ couples?

    Yes! It would be our privilege.
