Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Staff?
As industry professionals, we use a network of vetted bartenders to staff for our events. Generally, these people are scheduled for your event based on your needs. We mostly use bartenders who are currently employed in restaurants and bars. Why? Our bartenders have experience setting up and breaking down quickly, as well as proficiently batching drinks and serving guests, so you can be assured you're getting the best service possible. No amateurs here.

We also have our mobile bar available for a $250 rental or 2 covered bar tables for a $50 rental. Additional tables for beer and wine service are available for an additional fee. For our bars, we supply wine and beer openers, spill mats, pour spouts, and other tools we use for clean service that will let us break down and clean efficiently..
When Do You Arrive?
We arrive 60-90 minutes before the scheduled event time unless requested earlier depending on the party size. Your booked time does not include set up and break down time which is billed separately.
Do You Offer Signature Cocktails?
Yes! We have a list of signature cocktails that have been a hit with other groups. We offer numerous base spirit options and flavors. If none of those cocktails fit your need, we can customize some options for you. Signature cocktails are available at a base fee per person and customized cocktails are offered at a small upcharge per person.
Why Do You Batch Signature Cocktails?
While we don't batch single mixers and regular cocktails, we do batch our signature cocktails to ensure the quickest service possible, especially for the first round. We find that a host's biggest concern with their bar is having a long line. In our experience, batching signature cocktails allows your line to move quickly so that everyone can focus on celebrating and mingling.
Do You Require a Deposit? How Do I Pay?
We do require a 30% deposit at the time of booking to secure your booking and lock in your date. The remaining deposit is to be paid the 5 days prior to the date of the event. You can pay via booking link that we will supply after your consultation. We do not accept cash payments beyond the tips the bartenders take in during the event.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
Deposits are non-refundable. You have until 5 days before your event to cancel, after that, all payments made to Cedar & Sunflower are non-refundable. In the event of a natural disaster or other weather related issues, your payments cannot be refunded but can be transferred to a different date.
What Are Your Credentials?
We are industry professionals with experience running bars, managing fine-dining restaurants, and years of experience in executing events. Events we have executed in the past for other companies have been for local businesses as well as well-known global companies with anywhere from 50-350 people in attendance. We have experience seeing whole events through from initial contact to breaking down the events. However, at C&S we only handle the bar, so you can trust us to oversee that and provide excellent service.
