Frequently asked questions.

What does your bar service include?

Each of our packages includes our signature bar setup, licensed bartenders, curated mixers, garnishes, eco-friendly drink ware, and all necessary tools for service. Alcohol is not included due to California licensing, but we guide you through exactly what to purchase.

Do you provide alcohol?

No - we are a dry hire service, meaning alcohol must be provided by the client. We’ll send a detailed shopping list tailored to your menu, guest count, and preferences.

How do I book Shore Spirits?

Start by filling out our inquiry form. We’ll send a custom proposal, and once your 50% deposit and signed contract are received, your date is officially reserved.

Can we customize our cocktail menu?

Yes - we love creating bespoke menus that reflect your tastes and event aesthetics. You can choose from our seasonal selections or let us design something completely original.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Shore Spirits is fully insured, and all bartenders are certified to serve alcohol in the state of California.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. However, if your date is sooner, feel free to inquire - we may still have availability.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

We’re based in San Diego, CA and happily serve surrounding areas. Travel outside of San Diego county may include an additional fee.

Can you work with my wedding planner or venue?

Absolutely. We love collaborating with planners and venues to ensure your bar is cohesive with your overall event flow and design.
