Hire us

You bring the story. We make the night.

Two ways to work with us. Both start with a free call.

Private celebrations Cocktail storytelling

01

Private celebrations

No standard packages. No borrowed personalities.

A birthday, a wedding, an installation or a company night. We write the cocktails around the people in the room and set up a bar that looks the part. Need help with a venue or something else? Ask. If we can help, we will.

  • Cocktails written for the occasion
  • A mocktail version of every drink
  • A bar set up and styled for the night
  • Our bartenders on the night

Cocktail storytelling

A story, served differently.

We turn a piece of your story into cocktails. A place, a first date, a family recipe, a club's cause. Each drink carries one part of it, and a small card beside it tells your guests which part.

  1. Your story
  2. Our questions
  3. Your drinks

How a story card works

Every Sunday, Grandma baked pandan cake, drank her kopi black and grew calamansi by the window.

Pandan: the baseKopi: the bitter edgeCalamansi: the brightness

Illustration only, not a client's story. The blacked-out words are the ingredients. Guests work it out as they drink.

Questions

Good questions.

Before you book

How much does it cost?
Every night is designed from scratch, so there's no price list. On the free call we'll ask about your guests, your night and your budget, and walk you through the price. No standard packages.
Is the call really free?
Yes. 30 minutes, no cost, no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
What if we don't have a story?
Everyone has one. It can be as small as the first drink you shared or the street you grew up on. Finding it is our job.
How early should we book?
Two weeks or more is ideal. Less than a week is possible, with a rush fee. We'll tell you on the call.

The drinks

Do you only do cocktails?
No. We design whole nights. Cocktails are one of the ways we tell the story.
Can guests who don't drink join in?
Yes. Every drink on your menu has a mocktail version that tells the same story.
Who can be served alcohol?
Only guests aged 18 and over. We check ID at the bar.
Is the tasting free?
Yes, for the drinks on your menu. If your night has three drinks, you taste those three. Trying extra drinks is charged.
Can you come to our venue?
Usually, yes. Some venues have their own rules about outside bars, so tell us where it is and we'll check before you pay anything.

Money and dates

How does the deposit work?
A 50% deposit, paid at least two weeks before the event, holds your date. You're welcome to pay in full upfront. Otherwise, the rest is due within 7 days after the event.
What if our plans change?
Moving to a later date: we'll try to do it at no cost, subject to availability. Cancelling more than 14 days before: we refund half your deposit. Within 14 days: the deposit isn't refundable, because we've bought your ingredients. Within 7 days: the full fee is due, less any unopened stock we can return.
How do we pay?
PayNow or bank transfer.

Free 30-minute call

Tell us your story.

Two quick steps. Answers first, then pick a time for your free call.

  1. Step 1 of 2: About your night
  2. Step 2 of 2: Pick a time
What are we celebrating?
Roughly how many guests?

For example: "my dad finally dances" or "the new team stops talking about work".

Tell us a bit more (optional, about a minute)

We'll only use it about your event.

Where will it be?

Tell it like you'd tell a friend. "Grandma's kopi, always black" beats "a family tradition".

Have you set a budget yet?
How did you find us?

What happens next

We read your answers before the call, so we can spend the 30 minutes on ideas, not forms.
