Is Your Bar Production Creating an Unforgettable Event Experience?
Don’t leave your guests wondering what drinks they should have—give them the perfect bar experience with a well-crafted production.
There are few questions that come with an invite to a soiree that match “Is there going to be a bar?” From craft beer to trendy cocktails, a well-stocked bar is often the highlight of any event or gathering.
Yet, too many events focus on what’s behind the bar – and not the entire production. A carefully planned bar setup can impress and delight your guests while helping you to create an unforgettable event experience.
But what goes into bar production – and how can you make sure yours is on point? At Barnastics, we are experts in creating a memorable bar experience – and we’ve broken down everything you need to know about what goes into creating the perfect bar experience with a well-crafted production.
The Big Idea: By investing in a professional bar production team, you can ensure that the bar at your event goes beyond drinks – it catalyzes event success. Learn how Barnastics can help you create the perfect bar experience for your event.
It’s All About The Experience
Bar production – otherwise known as cocktail craftsmanship – encompasses a range of elements that contribute to the overall experience. It’s more than just mixology and customer service – it’s also about creating a memorable atmosphere.
When you focus on the bar experience, you are taking into account all the details that make up an unforgettable event – from the bartenders’ attire to the music playing in the background.
Crafting a well-designed bar setup can encourage guests to linger and enjoy their drinks for longer, helping you to create an “it factor” that will be remembered long after your event is over.
What Is The Bar Production Process?
Without the right strategy, events can often flop – even with the best intentions. While there are plenty of elements that go into crafting the perfect bar production, there are some key steps you should always consider:
Concept Development
The vision for the bar begins by deeply understanding the essence of the event itself. This is where essential questions are asked and answered, such as:
What type of drinks and service do you want to provide?
What is the overall vibe and atmosphere that you want to create?
What elements can we utilize in order to bring a unique touch to the experience?
The concept is like a guest in itself – it needs to be nurtured and refined so that it can grow into something that meets the needs of the guests, hosts, and venue. If the “vibe” of your bar production doesn't fit the occasion, you may find that people aren’t as likely to connect with the experience.
Here are just a few concept elements that take an event from basic to remarkable:
Unique beverage service solutions
Engaging, personable bartenders
Creative garnish and drink presentation
Fun and interactive decorations
By exploring these concepts and asking the right questions, you can create an unforgettable event experience tailored to your unique brand and vision. With a little bit of creative exploration, you can make sure that your guests have an amazing time no matter what type of occasion they are attending.
Logistics and Procurement
With the concept defined, it’s time to bring it to life with the necessary ingredients. This is where logistics and procurement come into play. The goal is to bring together the right combination of people, products, and services that will ultimately make for a successful event.
This requires careful consideration on a variety of levels – from selecting suppliers to determining quantities needed to create a timeline for delivery or set up. Ultimately, it’s about ensuring you have everything in place so your concept can be realized without any hiccups along the way.
This is where an experienced bar production service can be invaluable, providing both the logistical support and procurement expertise needed to make your event a success. With their deep knowledge of the industry, they can help you identify potential suppliers, provide guidance for product ordering, and ensure that everything arrives when it’s supposed to.
Operational Execution
The day of the event has arrived – it’s time to pull off the ultimate bar production! By now, you’ve laid out a detailed plan for how the event should run and what items need to be in place.
Working with an experienced bar production service can help make this process smoother and more efficient by providing support with set-up, managing equipment, handling food and beverage orders, and managing staff.
For those special occasions that require extra attention to detail – like weddings or corporate events – having an experienced partner can make all the difference. They can provide guidance on liquor license requirements, offer creative cocktail design solutions, and even arrange for entertainment to keep guests happy throughout the night.
Once the event ends, knowing how best to break down and close out the event is key. An experienced bar production service can help ensure that all items are accounted for, proper clean-up is completed, and any remaining supplies or equipment are returned in good order.
