Mobile Bartenders Service for Weddings & Private Events in San Bernardino County
Planning a wedding can be both exciting and overwhelming. There are many decisions to make, and one of the most important ones is how to serve drinks at your celebration.
If you're getting married in San Bernardino County, hiring a mobile bartender from By the Hour Bartending is a smart, stress-free choice.
Why Choose Mobile Bartenders for Your Wedding?
Mobile bartenders bring the bar to you. Whether your wedding is at a beach, a park, a private home, or a rented venue, a mobile bartender ensures that your guests enjoy professional drinks without the need for a built-in bar or staff. It saves you time, effort, and often money.

Certified Bartender: All of our bartenders are trained, experienced, and certified to serve alcohol.

Where We Work in San Bernardino County
Our mobile bartending team covers all of San Bernardino County. Whether your wedding is in La Jolla, Chula Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad, or downtown San Bernardino, we can be there.
All we need is a little space to set up and we’ll take care of the rest.
Do You Need a Bar Setup?
We provide bartenders with their essential tools, but we do not provide large bar setups, ice bins, or tables.
However, we work with you to make sure you know exactly what to prepare so everything runs smoothly.
Alcohol and Mixers—Do We Provide Them?
We do not directly sell or provide alcohol. However, we are partnered with Total Wine, which means we can help you order everything you need and have it delivered directly to your event.
This makes things simple and organized.
Non-Alcoholic Drinks and Mocktails
Not all weddings include alcohol, and that’s perfectly fine. Our bartenders can also make fun and flavorful mocktails for your guests who prefer a non-alcoholic option.
Fast and Easy Booking Process
Booking a bartender for your wedding shouldn’t take hours. With us, it’s easy:
Go to our website
Click "Book Now"
Enter your event details and payment
Submit, and you're done!
You’ll also get email updates and support leading up to your big day.
How Far in Advance Should You Book?
We prefer that you book at least 72 hours before your event. But don’t worry,
If it’s a last-minute need, we can still try to help. We’ve covered many weddings on short notice.
Can You Cancel or Change Your Booking?
Yes. If you cancel within 48 hours of booking and your wedding is more than 14 days away,
You’ll get a full refund. If you cancel later than that, a partial refund may apply. You can also make changes to your booking by sending us an email.
