Planning your own event can be incredibly rewarding—but also stressful without the right tools and support. Whether it’s a backyard wedding, milestone birthday, or a corporate gathering, you don’t have to go it alone. At Boss Bar Hire, we help DIY event planners create memorable celebrations with stylish mobile bars, bartending services, drink packages, and more.

Here’s what people often search for when planning a DIY event—and how we’ve got your back.


1. What Do I Need to Plan a DIY Event?


Most people start by asking, “Where do I even begin?”


Start with:

  • A guest list

  • A budget

  • A theme or vibe

  • Food and drink options

  • Entertainment

  • Setup and logistics


How Boss Bar Hire helps:We simplify the drinks side of your event. Our mobile bar hire service includes sleek, stylish setups like the White Ripple Bar that elevate any venue, even your own backyard.


2. How Do I Serve Drinks Without a Full Bar?

That’s where we shine. You don’t need a venue with a bar—we’ll bring one to you.


Solutions we offer:

  • Mobile bars with setup and delivery

  • Bartending services so you can enjoy the party

  • Beer taps and kegs with popular brands on tap

  • Glassware hire so you don’t have to stress about breakables or washing up

We even offer custom cocktail packages with easy-to-choose menus designed for events with style.


3. How Do I Keep Costs Down But Still Impress Guests?


Hosting a DIY event doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself—it means making smart choices that give you the most value for your money.


At Boss Bar Hire, we’re a premium service that brings professional polish to your event. While we may not be the cheapest option, we help you get the most out of your budget by reducing stress, eliminating waste, and creating an unforgettable guest experience.


Smart strategies for impact without the overwhelm:

  • Choose one signature cocktail to simplify ingredients and bar setup

  • Hire glassware instead of buying disposables—elevates the look and saves you from washing up

  • Opt for beer kegs over bottles to reduce costs and environmental waste


Boss Bar Hire upgrades that impress without overdoing it:

  • Add a champagne tower for a wow moment that guests will rave about

  • Use our custom quotes to mix premium service with budget-friendly planning

  • Streamline your setup with all-in-one bar packages—drinks, bartenders, and glassware included


DIY doesn’t mean cutting corners. It means smart planning.


4. What Should I Ask Vendors?

Here are some things our clients often ask:

  • Do you deliver? (Yes!)

  • Can you staff the bar? (Absolutely—our team is RSA-certified and professional.)

  • Can I customise the drink menu? (Of course!)
