Client Policies & Event Disclaimers
We pour our heart into each event — and in return, we ask for mutual respect, clarity, and fairness. Please review the following policies to ensure a smooth and successful experience for everyone.
💲 Fees & Final Invoicing
Initial quotes may change based on add-ons, rising ingredient costs (e.g., ginger beer), or last-minute services. If additional services or items are provided during your event, a final invoice will be sent the next day.
💵 Gratuity Policy
If no tip jar is allowed at your event, a minimum gratuity of $150 is required to help offset guest tipping.
For weddings or larger parties where bartenders are working overtime or handling high guest volume, a gratuity of $200–$300 is appreciated and generally expected in line with industry standards.
⏰ Overtime & Staying Late
If your event runs longer than the scheduled time initially agreed upon, we’re happy to accommodate — but please note:
• Additional time will incur a $50/hour overtime gratuity
• If no tip jar is allowed, this brings the total gratuity to $250 for two extra hours.
🚚 Priority Parking for Load-In
Please provide close parking access to the service area for setup and breakdown. If a solo bartender is required to haul heavy equipment across long distances (fields, stairs, etc.) with no assistance from client, a $100 barback fee will be added to the final invoice to cover the extra labor of a last minute assistant, who will be deployed to arrive and assist.
🛏️ Travel & Lodging
Events located 1.5 hours or more from O’Fallon, Illinois, will require one night of lodging to be covered by the client. This ensures we arrive rested and ready to serve at our best.
🧪 Syrups & Recipe Charts
Each client receives a custom-crafted syrup set and recipe chart for their menu as a complimentary gift.
This is reserved for clients who treat our time, labor, and service with mutual professionalism and respect.
👥 Payment by Third Parties
If someone other than the original client (such as a parent or coordinator) will be handling final payment or reimbursement, we must be introduced to them in advance to ensure clear communication and prevent last-minute confusion

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, Kelsie! 100% recommend!
Recently, I had the great joy of working with Kelsie from Bender Mixology Services! As the pastor at a church, I was hoping to have several "Bible-themed" cocktails and mocktails for a special reception. Kelsie not only met my expectations: she far exceeded them!
From the moment we connected, Kelsie's creativity and enthusiasm shone through. Kelsie took the time to really understand the essence of our event, sharing her fun and collaborative spirit as we imagined every drink reflecting the themes of the event. Kelsie's knowledge of mixology is truly a gift, and her ability to craft unique, flavorful beverages left such a great impression on our guests!
Kelsie worked with a keen attention to detail, bringing a sense of artistry to her work, and ensuring every drink was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Additionally, her friendly and warm personality meant so much to me, and it was amazing to see all of the smiles from our guests as they enjoyed their drinks!
Kelsie's passion as a mixologist is evident in every aspect of her work. I highly recommend her services for any event. Thank you, Kelsie, for your wonderful work and for making our event a resounding success. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

I was amazed at the time and effort Kelsie put in to making a unique drink menu for us. We did a pretasting night to be sure we were on the right track, she made 5 custom syrups to go with our drinks, her mango and watermelon were amazing! She also put together a list of all alcohols needed with estimated costs. And she came a day early to set up the bar so she would have everything where it was needed. So in short, her prep time was substantial. I was very impressed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hired Bender Mixology for a large corporate holiday party with 70 guests, and she exceeded every expectation! From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless and stress-free.
She created a custom cocktail menu, complete with beautifully designed signage that made it easy for everyone to choose their drinks.
During the event, she managed the crowd effortlessly, keeping up with the demand while maintaining a cheerful and professional demeanor. Watching her craft cocktails was a highlight for our guests-her skills are truly impressive!
From start to finish, it was a 5-star experience, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Bender Mixology for any event!
