In Ontario, there are generally two ways to provide beverage service at a private event.

With a guest-supplied alcohol event, the host purchases and provides the alcohol while Gilded Glass Affairs supplies the professional bartenders, cocktail preparation, mixers, garnishes, equipment, and beverage service expertise.

With a licensed event, Gilded Glass Affairs supplies the alcohol and manages the beverage program in accordance with applicable Ontario regulations and licensing requirements.

Both options provide exceptional service. The right choice depends on your event goals, venue requirements, and preferred level of involvement.

Yes.

For qualifying events, Gilded Glass Affairs can provide licensed beverage catering services, including alcohol procurement, menu planning, service execution, and bar management.

We also offer service-only packages for clients who prefer to purchase and supply their own alcohol.

During the planning process, we will help determine which option is best suited to your event.

Absolutely.

Many of our clients choose to supply their own wine, beer, and spirits while relying on Gilded Glass Affairs for professional bartending services, cocktail preparation, bar setup, service staff, mixers, garnishes, ice coordination, and beverage logistics.

This approach combines flexibility with the confidence of experienced hospitality professionals managing the bar.

Both options have advantages.

Guest-supplied alcohol service often provides greater control over beverage selection and purchasing decisions, while licensed beverage catering offers a more turnkey experience where we manage the beverage program from start to finish.

We are happy to discuss your event, venue, guest count, and goals to determine the most appropriate solution.

Our mobile bar service allows us to bring a professional cocktail experience directly to private residences, wedding venues, offices, event spaces, outdoor celebrations, cottages, and unique venues throughout Ontario.

We provide the staffing, equipment, planning, and operational expertise necessary to create a seamless bar experience almost anywhere.

Every event is unique.

Pricing depends on factors such as guest count, event duration, staffing requirements, venue logistics, beverage selections, and whether the event is licensed or guest-supplied.

Following an initial consultation, we provide a customized proposal designed around your event and service requirements.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for weddings, corporate holiday events, and peak summer dates.

Popular weekends often book months in advance. Early planning allows us to secure staffing, develop custom beverage menus, and ensure every detail is executed flawlessly. However, short notice consultations are available.
