Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you supply the alcohol for events?

    Due to Colorado liquor laws, Sugar Magnolia cannot directly sell or purchase alcohol for your event. However, we assist every step of the way by creating the shopping list and linking you with trusted vendors and guiding you through the selection process to ensure the best beverage choices for your guests.

  • Is a booking deposit required?

    Yes! To reserve your mobile bar and/or bloom bar rental, a signed contract and a 50% deposit is required. The remaining balance must be settled 30 days prior to your event. For events scheduled within 30 days, full payment is required at the time of booking. Need flexible payment options? We’re here to help!

  • What kind of insurance do you have?

    All of our certified bartenders are licensed to serve alcohol in Colorado. Additionally, we carry general liability insurance, as well as liquor insurance, to ensure safety at your event. We are fully insured and bonded for your peace of mind!

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Cancellations made 90 days or more before the event will receive a full refund of the deposit. For cancellations made 31-89 days prior, a 50% refund of the deposit will be issued. Cancellations within 30 days of the event are not eligible for a refund.

  • How do I book Sugar Magnolia?

    It’s easy! Fill out our contact form, and we’ll be in touch to discuss your event details and create a custom quote tailored to your event (or choose from one of our pre-set packages). Our team will assist every step of the way to ensure a successful event!

  • What types of beverages can your mobile bar serve?

    Our mobile bar is equipped with 6 taps, allowing us to serve a wide range of drinks, from cocktails and prosecco to draft beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options like mocktails, juices, and sodas.

    Keep in mind that due to state laws, you, your venue, or your caterer must supply the alcohol. When you book our mobile bar for your event, we can connect you with suppliers to purchase beverages at wholesale prices and arrange delivery.

  • How much space does the truck need to park and operate?

    To ensure a smooth setup, we ask for a 10’x20’ space with clear, ground for parking and guest interaction. The truck can fit comfortably in most driveways, courtyards, and event venues. We’ll coordinate with your planner or venue contact ahead of time to make sure access is easy.

    We handle all the heavy lifting, you just focus on enjoying the experience.

  • How can I determine the amount of alcohol needed for my event?

    Figuring out how much alcohol to provide can be challenging! Our drink calculator is here to assist you in estimating your needs. It takes into account:

    - The number of guests
    - Average consumption habits
    - Preferred beverage types
    - Duration of service, and more!

  • What are the requirements for setting up your mobile bar at the venue?

    Our setup works indoors or outdoors and setup typically takes about 45–60 minutes. Teardown is usually complete within 30–45 minutes after service ends.

    For indoor events, we need an entryway that is at least 5 feet wide. Our truck is considered “off-grid” and does not require power, providing ultimate versatility for any event location.

    We don’t require water hookups, and while power isn’t mandatory, we do appreciate access to a standard 110V outlet, if available, for the aesthetic under-lighting.
