Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking TOAST.

What exactly is a 'Dry Hire' bar?

Great question! 'Dry Hire' means that you provide the alcohol, and we provide everything else. Due to Texas TABC liquor laws, mobile bars cannot legally sell alcohol. This actually benefits you—it saves you the huge markup venues charge for liquor. You buy the bottles at retail price (from Specs, Total Wine, etc.), and we turn them into a luxury experience.

Do you help us decide how much to buy?

Absolutely. We don't leave you guessing. Once you book, we provide a detailed Custom Shopping List based on your guest count and menu choices. We calculate exactly how many bottles of vodka, tequila, and wine you need so you don't run out or overspend.

How much space does the mobile bar need?

Our standard bar setup requires a 6x4 foot footprint. We need flat ground (no steep hills!) and access to a standard 120V outlet if you want the bar lights or coffee service. If your venue is remote, we can bring a whisper-quiet generator for a small fee.

Can you do both 'Dirty Sodas' and Cocktails?

Yes! This is our most popular 'Hybrid' package. We can set up a TOAST Mini station for the kids (or non-drinkers) with Dirty Sodas and Mocktails, while running a full bar for the adults. It keeps everyone happy and hydrated.

Do you carry General Liability & Liquor Liability Insurance?

Yes, we carry a $1M General Liability policy and Liquor Liability insurance. We can provide a COI (Certificate of Insurance) to your venue upon request.

What is your travel radius?

We are based in Kingwood and the first 20 miles are free. Beyond that, we charge a modest travel fee ($1/mile) to cover gas and crew time.

How do I book my date?

A 35% non-refundable deposit locks in your date. The remaining balance is due 10 days before your event. Dates fill up fast (especially Saturdays), so we recommend booking as soon as you have your venue secured.
