BAR OPTIONS
Terri Lynn`s Catering by Design, Inc. does not have a retail liquor license to sell liquor. We can, however provide licensed bartenders to serve the liquor which you have purchased and transported to the job site. The rate is $30 per hour per bartender with a minimum of 3 hours. This price includes a professionally uniformed bartender, bar towels and miscellaneous equipment such as bottle openers, stirs and napkins. Cups are not included because you may want glass, as opposed to disposable, and therefore we bill them separately. Clean ice for pouring of drinks is included in the bartender rate. Ice for chilling bottles of wine and kegs of beer is not included. We prefer that all alcohol be iced and ready to be served upon our arrival. However, we can provide this service for an additional $0.50 per guest.
Ice and tubs to chill beer and wine $0.50/guest
Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Tonic and Soda $1.45/guest

All leftover product will remain property of Terri Lynn`s at the end of the event. Of course, we can also provide any special request items for your bar.
DECORATIONS AND FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS
We can design fresh floral arrangements for your event. A large centerpiece for the food table usually starts at $100 and can go as high as desired. We use decorative serving pieces in our food displays as well as fresh greenery and candles as part of our regular set up. Therefore, a centerpiece is not always needed. It just depends on your budget. Guest table decorations can also be provided.
