What areas do you serve?

We’re based in Weymouth, MA and proudly serve all of Massachusetts. Travel fees may apply depending on distance. The first 25 miles from our location in Weymouth are free! After that it’s the Federal Mileage Rate per mile.

Do you provide the alcohol?

No — due to state laws, clients must purchase and “supply” the alcohol. But don’t worry! We set up an order form that you will complete. Then we pick it up and transport it to you. Legally has to be purchased by you (the client).

What’s included in your service?

All packages include a fully mobile bar setup, professional bartending service, mixers, garnishes, ice, custom cocktail menu planning, bar tools, and all necessary servingware (cups, straws, napkins, etc.). We handle the setup and cleanup, too.

What about non alcoholic/mocktail service?

We understand not everyone enjoys drinking, or cant! Some of our cocktails can be made into a mocktails. Just make sure to include that in the inquiry form!

Do you offer custom cocktail menus?

Absolutely. Customization is what we’re all about. We’ll work with you to design a drink menu that fits your event’s vibe — whether it’s signature cocktails, a themed drink, or a modern twist on a classic.

Can you serve beer and wine too?

Yes! We’re happy to serve beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options alongside our cocktails. That said, Zapphire™ Mixology specializes in craft-made cocktails designed to elevate your event. While we’re always glad to accommodate your beer and wine preferences, our true passion (and what sets us apart) is handcrafting exceptional cocktails.

Do you carry insurance?

Yes. Zapphire Mixology is fully insured with General and Liquor Liability. Proof of insurance can be provided upon request.

What kind of events do you work?

We do it all — weddings, private parties, corporate events, backyard celebrations, holiday parties, and more. If you’re throwing an event and want people to talk about the drinks, we’re your team.

How much does it cost?

Pricing starts at $500 for basic beer and wine service, with custom cocktail packages starting higher depending on guest count, travel, event length, and any additional add on services. Every event is unique, so reach out for a personalized quote.

-Please note: a 20% gratuity is added to all final pricing.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as soon as possible. We recommend a month in advance to secure your date, especially during peak event seasons. But don’t hesitate to reach out last-minute — if we’re available, we’ll make it happen.

When do I pay?

To secure your date, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This deposit confirms your event and allows us to begin planning all the details.

The remaining balance is due 14 days before your event. We’ll send a reminder invoice ahead of time to keep everything smooth and stress-free.

If your event is booked less than 14 days out, full payment will be required upfront.

Why is the deposit non-refundable?

The 30% deposit goes directly toward planning and prepping for your event. Once you book, we immediately start:

• Reserving your date and turning away other clients

• Planning your custom cocktail menu

• Sourcing ingredients, garnishes, mixers, and supplies

• Ordering any specialty glassware or décor

This upfront investment ensures your event is tailored, stocked, and ready to impress. Because of the time and materials already committed, the deposit is non-refundable.

We appreciate your understanding — it helps us deliver the elevated experience Zapphire Mixology is known for.

What Forms of Payment do you accept?

We gladly accept cash or check as our preferred forms of payment.

If you choose to pay by credit or debit card, please note that a 3% processing fee will be added to your total invoice amount. This fee covers the costs charged by our payment processor and allows us to continue offering exceptional service without raising base prices for all clients.

You will be able to opt-in to card payments when submitting your deposit or final balance. If you have any questions about payment options, feel free to reach out!

What if I have to cancel?

We get it — life happens! Here's our cancellation/reschedule policy to keep things clear and fair for everyone.

A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. This deposit is not refundable under any circumstances.

1. The remaining balance (70%) is due 14 days before your event.

2. If you cancel more than 14 days before the event, you will receive a refund on any remaining balance you have already paid beyond the deposit, according to the following schedule:

48 Hours or less NO REFUND

* This refund only applies to payments made beyond the initial 30% deposit.

• If you cancel less than 48 hours before the event, no refunds will be issued (since the remaining balance would be already paid).
