Gratuity & Guaranteed Minimum
Gratuity & Guaranteed Minimum
To make planning effortless and ensure our team is fairly compensated for their hard work, we established a Guaranteed Gratuity Minimum for all private events.
Long before the first drink is poured, our bartenders are hard at work planning your event, shopping for supplies, transporting heavy equipment, and managing the entire setup and breakdown. This baseline ensures they are recognized for the extensive behind-the-scenes effort required to give you and your guests an exceptional experience.
