Reviews

What our clients say

★★★★★

From the moment we met with Free Spirits Hawaii we knew we wanted them to be our bartenders for our wedding. Derrick and his team are incredible and professional. The service exceeded our expectations and everyone loved the Mai Tais and Strawberry Peach Sangrias!

Renee InoueWedding
★★★★★

I was seriously disappointed with almost every vendor I contacted for this event. The one ray of light in this planning experience came from Derrick of Free Spirits Hawaii. He responded immediately, provided creative ideas and great drink suggestions, and was extremely helpful at every turn.

StephanieWeddingWire review
★★★★★

If you need bartenders I definitely recommend FSMB. They’re quick to respond and very affordable compared to other mobile bartenders. I’m not a drinker, and the two cocktails they made were so good I wanted more. Everyone loved it at the wedding too.

CourtneyWeddingWire review
★★★★★

The employees are always professional, courteous, and skilled at crafting specialty cocktails. From setup to last call, everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any event big or small.

What a fantastic company! My work takes me to a lot of social events around the island, and if there’s ever a bar, these guys are the ones running it. From upscale galas to backyard get-togethers, they bring the same energy and top-tier service every single time.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies the alcohol for a hosted bar?

You do. You buy the beer, wine and spirits and we pour them on your behalf. We’ll give you a shopping list sized to your guest count, event length and drinks so you don’t over- or under-buy. Planning a cash bar where guests pay for drinks? Ask us early, since it takes extra lead time.

Can you make signature cocktails for my event?

Yes. We’ll help you pick themed or signature cocktails for your occasion, your bartenders arrive ready to make them, and we’ll provide a custom shopping list for your guest count.

What do you bring to the event?

Every package includes the essential tools: wine keys, bottle openers, spill mats, pour spouts, shakers, ice bucket and scoop, and cutting boards. Ice, cups, mixers, juice, garnish, extra coolers and bar setups are available as add-ons, from bartender-only to fully stocked service.

What does your bar setup look like?

Our standard setup is a 6-ft bar table with fitted black or white linen and dual drink stations for 1 to 2 bartenders. Each extra bar setup is $150.

Will my bartender arrive early?

Yes. Bartenders arrive 60 to 90 minutes before service to set up, and that setup time is included in your booked hours.

Are your bartenders trained?

Yes. Our bartenders have at least 2 years of service experience and complete responsible alcohol service training such as TIPS or ServSafe. They arrive clean, on time and professional.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We carry general liability, liquor liability (up to $2M) and workers’ comp. We can name your venue as additional insured on a certificate of insurance (COI) for $150.

How do I book and pay?

A 30% non-refundable deposit holds your date, and the balance is due 7 days before your event. Pay online by card (3% card fee), or by check or cash. Deposits can be transferred to a rescheduled event within one year.

Which islands do you serve?

We serve all of Oahu, from town to the North Shore. We’ve also worked events on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island; ask us about neighbor-island events.
