Planner's guide

THE COCKTAIL AGENCY | VENDOR ANALYSIS

PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT

Best For: Corporate networking events and product launches, Private celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, engagements), Team-building events with interactive elements, Wedding receptions and upscale dinner parties

What planners usually like:

  • Dual offering of bartending service AND interactive workshops creates flexibility—you can hire them purely for drink service or add an engaging guest activity
  • Amsterdam-based with 24/7 availability across the week means easier coordination for local events without needing to source vendors from outside the city
  • Creative beverage focus allows for customization beyond standard bar options, which helps events feel distinctive and memorable
  • Direct event planning support alongside catering reduces the need to coordinate multiple vendors separately

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request a detailed breakdown of what's included in different package levels—cocktail catering can vary widely in terms of number of drinks, bartender hours, and setup/breakdown costs
  • Confirm minimum guest counts or event minimums, as these directly impact pricing and whether they can accommodate smaller intimate gatherings
  • Ask about their experience with your specific venue type (whether it's a restaurant private room, outdoor space, corporate office, etc.) since setup requirements differ significantly
  • Clarify the workshop format—how many guests can participate simultaneously, what's the typical duration, and whether it works for your guest mix and event timeline

Common questions

Do they provide just bartending service, or is a full catering kitchen setup required?

The Cocktail Agency specializes in beverage solutions, meaning they focus on cocktail service and may not provide full food catering. For events requiring both food and drinks, you'll want to confirm whether they can work alongside a separate food caterer or if your venue handles food service. This is a key detail that affects your overall vendor coordination.

What's involved in their "cocktail workshop" offering, and is it suitable for all guest types?

While specific workshop formats aren't detailed online, cocktail workshops typically involve guided drink-making stations where guests learn techniques and create their own drinks. Confirm the group size they can accommodate in a single workshop session, the duration, and whether it works for mixed-ability groups—some guests may prefer drinking while others want hands-on participation.

Are they equipped to handle large corporate events, or do they work better for smaller gatherings?

Their availability across all seven days suggests capacity for various event sizes, but you should ask directly about their typical event scale and whether they have enough staff for your expected guest count. This determines whether they can simultaneously run a bar service and workshop, or if they focus primarily on one service per event.

How far in advance should I book, and what's their typical lead time?

Contact them directly to understand their booking calendar, especially if your event falls during peak season (May-September in Amsterdam). A 4-6 week lead time is standard for most catering services in Amsterdam, but confirming availability early prevents disappointment.

Can they accommodate specific drink preferences, dietary restrictions, or themed menus?

Ask whether they can create a custom cocktail menu matching your event theme, provide non-alcoholic mocktail alternatives, and accommodate guests with dietary restrictions (sugar-free options, vegan drinks, etc.). This shapes the guest experience significantly and should be discussed during initial consultation.

What's included in their event planning support, and when do I need to involve them in the planning process?

Clarify the scope of event planning assistance—do they help with vendor coordination, timeline creation, or just the beverages portion? Understanding their role relative to other planners you may hire prevents overlapping responsibilities and gaps in coordination.
