Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions we receive from couples and hosts, along with a few things people are often wondering but aren’t sure to ask. If you’re exploring whether a mobile bar is the right fit for your celebration, this FAQ will help you decide with clarity and confidence.

1. What exactly is Koa’s Mobile Bar?

Koa’s Mobile Bar is a professionally staffed, beautifully styled bar service that comes to your wedding or event. We handle the bar setup, licensed bartenders, service flow, and guest experience—so you don’t have to worry about logistics, lines, or awkward self-serve situations.

2. What types of events is the mobile bar best for?

Our mobile bar is ideal for weddings, micro-weddings, elopements, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, birthday celebrations, corporate events, and private gatherings. It works especially well for outdoor, backyard, and non-traditional venues where a permanent bar doesn’t exist.

3. How many guests can your mobile bar serve?

We design bar service around your guest count. Whether you’re hosting an intimate 25-person micro-wedding or a 100+ guest celebration, we’ll recommend the right number of bartenders and service style

to keep lines short and drinks flowing smoothly.

4. Do you provide the alcohol?

Typically, clients provide the alcohol, which helps you control brands and budget. We guide you through exactly what and how much to purchase based on your guest count, event length, and drink menu. In some cases, we can assist with coordination depending on your needs.

5. Can you help us decide what drinks to serve?

Absolutely. We help couples curate a drink menu that fits their vibe—signature cocktails, beer and wine, mocktails, or a full bar. If you’re unsure what makes sense for your crowd, we’ll walk you through popular options and what tends to work best.

6. Do you offer signature cocktails or custom drink menus?

Yes. Signature cocktails are one of our most popular options. We can help you choose drinks that reflect your personalities, wedding theme, or even local flavors. Custom signage and thoughtful presentation can also be incorporated.

7. What types of bar service do you offer?

We offer several service styles, including:

• Beer & wine service

• Signature cocktail service

• Full bar service

• Mocktail-only or sober-friendly bar setups

We’ll recommend the best option based on your event size, timeline, and budget.

8. Are your bartenders licensed and insured?

Yes. Our bartenders are experienced professionals, and we carry the appropriate insurance required for event bar service. We can also coordinate with your venue regarding any specific requirements.

9. Do you handle setup and breakdown?

Yes. We arrive early to set up the bar, organize glassware, chill beverages, and prepare the service area. After the event, we handle breakdown so you’re not left managing cleanup at the end of the night.

10. How much space does the mobile bar need?

Our mobile bar has a relatively small footprint, making it perfect for outdoor venues, private properties, and intimate settings. We’ll confirm space requirements ahead of time to ensure a smooth setup.

11. Can the bar be set up outdoors?

Yes—outdoor events are one of our specialties. We’ll help plan for shade, weather considerations, and placement so your bar feels intentional, not improvised.

12. What happens if it rains or the weather changes?

We plan for real-life conditions. If weather is a concern, we’ll work with you and your venue to identify backup locations or adjustments so bar service can continue without stress.

13. Do you provide glassware, ice, and bar tools?

Yes. We provide the essential bar tools and service equipment. Glassware and ice options can be discussed based on your package and venue logistics, and we’ll make sure nothing important is overlooked.

Bar service length is customizable. Most weddings choose 3–5 hours of service, but we’ll help you decide what makes sense based on your timeline, ceremony start, and reception flow.

15. Can you accommodate non-drinkers or sober guests?

Definitely. Mocktails, non-alcoholic beers, sparkling waters, and thoughtful zero-proof options are increasingly popular—and we’re happy to make them feel just as special as alcoholic drinks.

16. Will there be long lines at the bar?

Our goal is efficient, professional service. We recommend staffing and menu choices that minimize wait times, especially during high-demand moments like cocktail hour.

17. Do you work with our venue and planner?

Yes. We coordinate directly with your venue, planner, or coordinator to align on timing, rules, and layout. This helps your event run smoothly behind the scenes.

18. Is the mobile bar a good fit for small or micro-weddings?
