Packages

Cocktail Catering Packages and Pricing Considerations

Quoted to event

Guest numbers & duration

More guests require more stock, ice, glassware and bartenders. Longer events need additional stock and staff rotation.

Quoted to menu

Cocktail selection

Premium spirits and complex signature cocktails affect pricing compared with a simpler classic cocktail menu.

Quoted to setup

Staffing & bar complexity

A single compact station costs less than a multi-station bar with full signage and décor. Staffing follows guest numbers and pace.

Custom quote

Location & mix

Travel logistics vary across Kenya. Alcoholic, mixed or fully non-alcoholic menus are priced to what your event actually needs.

Bar setup

Cocktail Bar Setup & Mobile Service

A well-designed cocktail bar should look inviting, function efficiently, and suit the style of your venue. We bring a self-contained bar that can be adapted to almost any space.

Portable bar counter

Sized and styled to your venue and guest numbers, with one or more cocktail stations for busy periods.

Glassware, ice and tools

Glassware suited to each cocktail, ice storage, shakers, strainers and bar tools used throughout service.

Garnishes, signage and décor

Garnish displays, drink dispensers, menu boards, linen and décor styled to your colour scheme or theme.

Private homes

A proper cocktail bar at a family garden or private residence that would not otherwise have one.

Hotels and offices

Corporate venues, conference spaces and hotels staffed and stocked ahead of your event.

Outdoor and wedding venues

Gardens, estates, exhibition spaces and outdoor weddings without permanent bar infrastructure.

Trends we are seeing

Signature cocktails as a centrepiece, locally inspired flavours, stronger mocktail menus, styled bars and interactive service.

Worth booking when

Proper staffing ratios, stock planning, consistent drink quality, clear communication, tidy presentation and a clean handover.

Event bartending

Guest interaction, efficient queues, replenishment and careful glassware handling from one bartender to a full team.

Waste and cleanup

Waste collection keeps the bar tidy throughout service. The area is cleared once the last drink is served.

Responsible service

Monitoring consumption and service pacing so the bar stays professional from first pour to last.

Typical package

Menu planning, cocktail preparation, bartenders, bar setup, glassware, ice, garnishes, mixers, service and cleanup.

Pricing

How pricing works

Hauchi Kay does not offer a single fixed price for cocktail catering. Packages are built around guest numbers, event duration, cocktail selection, number of bartenders, bar setup complexity, venue location and alcoholic versus non-alcoholic mix. We put together a tailored quote so you only pay for what your event actually needs.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Cocktail Catering in Kenya

Does Hauchi Kay provide the alcohol and mixers, or do we need to supply our own?

In most cases, Hauchi Kay sources all spirits, mixers, garnishes and ice as part of the cocktail catering package. We can also work with client-supplied alcohol if preferred; this is discussed and agreed during menu planning.

How many bartenders will we need for our event?

This depends on your guest numbers and event duration. As a general guide, we recommend staffing levels that keep queues short even during peak periods, such as immediately after a wedding ceremony. We confirm exact staffing during the planning stage.

Can you cater events outside Nairobi?

Yes. While much of our work covers cocktail catering in Nairobi, our mobile cocktail bar service can travel to venues across Kenya, including private estates, hotels and outdoor venues outside the city.

Do you offer non-alcoholic cocktail options?

Yes. Every cocktail menu we design includes non-alcoholic cocktail options, and we can also build a menu that is entirely mocktail-based for non-alcoholic events.

How far in advance should we book cocktail catering?

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for weddings and large corporate events, so there is enough time for menu planning, staffing and setup logistics. We do accommodate shorter-notice bookings where possible.

What is included in a typical cocktail catering package?

A typical package includes menu planning, cocktail preparation, professional bartenders, bar setup, glassware, ice, garnishes, mixers and on-the-day service, with clearing and cleanup included at the end of the event.
