Q: How many people should I invite?

We find an ideal size somewhere between 6 and 16 people. We can accommodate more but beyond that, 1:1 coaching attention begins to decrease.

Question 1

What types of events have you been hired for?

Accepted Answer

By people: Birthday parties, family reunions, holiday parties, and just because. ​ By organizations: to thank donors or members, engage clients, team building and professional development with employees, conference or post-retreat entertainment.

Question 2

Why should I hire Decoding Cocktails?

Accepted Answer

Whether you’re new to drink-making or know your way around the home bar, we specialize in breaking down cocktails in an easy-to-understand and repeat way. ​ We do not focus on helping you create one-time masterpieces but develop a better understanding of fundamentals so you become a more confident home bartender.

Question 3

Where are they held?

Accepted Answer

Most often, we come to a client’s home or place of work.   We do have a couple of third-party locations we can use on days they are not booked for an additional fee.

Question 4

How many people should I invite?

Accepted Answer

We find an ideal size somewhere between 6 and 16 people. ​ We can accommodate more but beyond that, 1:1 coaching attention begins to decrease.

Question 5

Who provides the alcohol?

Accepted Answer

In a majority of cases, we provide everything. In some instances, we may allow clients to provide the alcohol, which can help reduce the cost of class.

Question 6

My budget is constrained. What can I do?

Accepted Answer

Putting on an in-person class takes five hours of labor start to finish.   These expenses makes up a decent portion of your quote. It is best distributed by adding attendees or shifting to virtual.

Question 7

What platform do you use?

Accepted Answer

We've found Zoom to be the best platform, but have worked on all of them.

Question 8

Do you host or do we?

Accepted Answer

When a client has a paid zoom account, we recommend you hosting so when class ends and your group wants to continue hanging out, it is a seamless experience.

Question 9

What about ingredients and equipment?

Accepted Answer

Our baseline class is designed to rely on things most people have or can bring into their homes at little expense. In addition to alcohol, that means fresh citrus, sugar, a cocktail shaker or mason jar, etc. ​ Bespoke fulfillment: we have worked many clients to arrange the shipping of ingredients and equipment. Some state laws can make shipping alcohol complicated but a quick call helps determine what is possible.
