Event bartending, Ottawa

Hiring a bartender from the Edit in Ottawa

Five steps from the first message to the last glass. Only the first one is yours.

Step by step

From first message to last glass

  1. Step 1: Request a quote

    You send the date, the guest count and the venue. We confirm availability, recommend a package and send a price.

  2. Step 2: Before your event

    We build the plan: the drink list, how much to buy and what the bar needs from the room. Buy it yourself with our quantity guide, or on The Curated Edit we shop and pick it up for you, at cost, from a budget you approve.

  3. Step 3: While guests arrive

    We arrive early, set the bar, chill and prep, and are pouring before the first guest looks for a drink.

  4. Step 4: During the celebration

    Drinks made to order, glasses cleared, bar kept tidy, guests served responsibly. Nobody queues.

  5. Step 5: At the end

    Bar broken down, surfaces wiped, recycling sorted, everything out. The space is left the way we found it.

What we need from you

Three things, before anything else

  • The date and the hours

    When guests arrive and when the bar should close.

  • The guest count

    A real number, not a guess. It sets the staffing and the quantity guide.

  • The venue

    Address, whether there is running water and power, and any bar requirements of its own.
