If you're planning a wedding, engagement party, birthday or corporate event, a BYO bar package can be a cost-effective way to provide drinks while still enjoying professional bar service.
One of the most common questions we receive is: "What is included in a BYO bar package?"
At Boss Bar Hire, our BYO Bar Package includes everything required to run a professional mobile bar service, while allowing you to supply your own drinks.

Mobile bar hire
RSA qualified bartenders
Glassware
Ice for bar service
Bar equipment
Delivery, setup and collection
Public liability insurance
Our team takes care of the setup and operation of the bar so you can focus on enjoying your event.
Does A BYO Bar Package Include Bartenders?
Yes.
All BYO bar packages include experienced RSA certified bartenders. The number of staff required will depend on your guest numbers, service duration and drink selections.
For events serving cocktails, additional staff may be recommended to ensure smooth service.
Does A BYO Bar Package Include Glassware?
Yes.
We provide the glassware required for service, including:
Wine glasses
Champagne flutes
Tumblers
Glassware is included as part of the package and supplied based on your selected drinks.
Does A BYO Bar Package Include Ice?
Yes.
Ice required for bar service is included.
However for events with more than 50 guests, all beverages must be pre-chilled before our staff begin setup. For larger weddings and events, we often recommend hiring a cool room to ensure drinks remain cold throughout the event.
What Drinks Do I Need To Supply?
With a BYO Bar Package, you supply all beverages.
This may include:
Beer
Wine
Sparkling wine
Spirits
Soft drinks
Cocktail ingredients
If you're unsure how much alcohol you'll need, we can help estimate quantities based on your guest numbers and event duration.
Is A BYO Bar Package Cheaper Than A Drinks Package?
A BYO Bar Package can be a great option for clients who want complete control over their drink selections and beverage budget.
Many clients choose a BYO package because it allows them to purchase their preferred brands directly while still receiving professional bar service.
What Is Not Included In A BYO Bar Package?
The main item not included is the alcohol itself.
Clients are responsible for supplying all drinks unless they choose one of our Drinks Packages.
All beverages must be chilled and ready for service before our team arrives.
