Cocktail Catering Packages and Pricing Considerations
Guest numbers & duration
More guests require more stock, ice, glassware and bartenders. Longer events need additional stock and staff rotation.
Cocktail selection
Premium spirits and complex signature cocktails affect pricing compared with a simpler classic cocktail menu.
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.
Location & mix
Travel logistics vary across Kenya. Alcoholic, mixed or fully non-alcoholic menus are priced to what your event actually needs.

How pricing works
Hauchi Kay does not offer a single fixed price for cocktail catering.

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.
