Booking Process
Curious about what it’s like to partner with Coastal Spirit? Take a look at our client journey below, from your first inquiry to the final toast.
Inquiry
Your first step is to reach out to us. Fill out our short inquiry form or drop into our inbox and tell us a bit about your event. Once we have received your inquiry or email, you will have the opportunity to schedule a short call with us to further discuss your vision for the perfect bar experience. We can’t wait to hear what you have planned!
Proposal
Based on the info provided in your inquiry form and details provided during our phone consultation, we will create a fully customized proposal brochure for your review and approval. We will be available for any questions you may have during this time.
Booking
If you love what you see and are ready to book, select your desired package and any add-on’s you would like to include from your proposal and submit back to us. Once we have received your package choices, we will send your contract accompanied by the invoice for the total investment. You can then submit a retainer of 50% through the invoice with the remaining balance due 30 days prior to your event. Upon signing the contract and submitting the retainer, your date will be reserved with us.
Event Questionnaire
During the planning phase, we will send you a more detailed event questionnaire. This helps us get a better idea of your taste preferences, what you would like served, and event specifics. Using this info, we will build a comprehensive shopping list with suggested quantities for alcohol, brand recommendations and a list of preferred retailers (although you may purchase the alcohol from wherever you like).
Consultation/Tasting
If you selected a cocktail tasting add-on service, we will meet in person to finalize your signature cocktail menu all while sampling some of our delicious libations. During this time we will have one final event consultation where we will align expectations, finalize details and answer any remaining questions. If you chose to pass on the cocktail tasting, don’t fret, we can do the final consultation over the phone, or via your preferred method of communication.
Event Day
We will arrive approximately 1.5 hours before your event to receive the alcohol, set up the bar/bar space, chill any product and stock the bar. Once its show time, our staff will be ready to ensure an incredible bar experience for you and your guests. Let’s get spirited!
After Hours
After the festivities have concluded, and we are doing our usual break down process, we will be happy to pack up any remaining alcohol and leave it in a designated area or vehicle for you to take with you. If you purchased from one of our preferred vendors, you will be able to return any unopened alcohol if you so wish. We hope that we helped make your day as magical as you had envisioned and left you with incredible memories. We love hearing from our amazing clients and would be delighted if you could share your experience with Coastal Spirits on Google, Facebook, or any other business directory where we are listed. Your kind words help us continue to provide exceptional service.
