Consultation & Complimentary Estimates
After you submit a form, we will reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation where we can discuss event-specific details and get to know each other.
Within 48 hours, we’ll send over a personalized service estimate outlining the anticipated costs based on the details of your event. From there, we can continue refining the proposal together to ensure every detail aligns with your vision, preferences, and event needs.
During this step of the process, we help anticipate inventory quantities and cost, along with any add-on services such as glassware rental, styling, and service requests.
Lock in Your Date
Once the final details have been confirmed in your service proposal, we’ll send over our standard Service Agreement via DocuSign, along with a secure request for your Date Deposit. Both must be completed to officially reserve your date.
Dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and our Spring and Summer dates tend to fill quickly. We recommend securing your date as soon as possible to ensure availability.
Event Prep
Approximately 3–6 months before your event, we’ll schedule a time to connect and finalize your menu preferences and service details. During this time, we’ll also confirm your event inventory and provide sample tastings, allowing us to fine-tune the menu and ensure every detail is just right for your event. Depending on the size and flow of your event, we’ll also finalize your recommended staffing plan. We typically recommend 1 bartender for every 50 guests to ensure smooth service and minimal wait times.
If styling is included, we’ll also send over concept and layout directions for your bar setup, along with any relevant styling details and recommendations. From there, we’ll collaborate on the final look and feel, ensuring the bar is thoughtfully designed to complement your event.
Event Day
On the day of your event, our team will arrive approximately 2 hours before the event start time to handle setup, styling, and final preparations. We’ll ensure the bar is fully stocked, polished, and ready to welcome your guests before the first pour.
Throughout the event, our bartenders will provide polished, attentive service while keeping the bar stocked, organized, and running smoothly. From setup to the final pour, we’ll handle the details behind the scenes so you and your guests can simply enjoy the celebration.

How does purchasing alcohol work?
In accordance with Colorado state liquor laws, The Good Bar does not purchase or resell alcoholic beverages at any time.
Instead, all beverages for your event are purchased directly by you from a licensed retailer or vendor. This keeps everything fully compliant with state laws and gives you complete transparency on costs.
Here’s how the process works:
1. We Help You Plan the Order
Based on your guest count, menu decisions, and service style, we create a detailed beverage recommendation and quantity estimate to be approved by you directly before it’s submitted to a vendor.2. You Purchase Directly From the Vendor
We submit the recommended order to a licensed retailer on your behalf, but payment is always made directly between you and the vendor. This can usually be done via phone call or email. You receive a receipt as the authorized purchaser in the transaction.3. We Handle the Logistics
Once purchased, we coordinate transportation logistics and manage your inventory according to your preferences — from pick up through last call.A Few Important Notes
• We do not mark up, resell, or profit from alcohol purchases.
• All payment, return, or credit questions are handled directly with the retailer.
• You own all alcohol purchased for your event. Unopened product returns are facilitated directly between you and the vendor.Why We Do It This Way
This process ensures full legal compliance while giving you complete control over your beverage selections and costs. It also allows us to be as helpful to you as possible in making selections, writing order quantities, submitting orders & transporting heavy boxes of liquid. We do it all - You just have to buy it and receive a receipt.
