    Perfect Bar Service

    Straight Up Sideways was the perfect bar services & beverages provider for our wedding. From the beginning, they worked closely with us to understand our budget and vision, and then delivered an exceptional experience for our guests. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and creative - they crafted unique signature cocktails that perfectly complemented our wedding theme and personal tastes. Throughout the night, the bartenders were friendly, outgoing, and attentive, ensuring our guests never had an empty glass. We couldn't have asked for a better bar services partner to help make our special day truly memorable.

Guest Supported Gratuity Policy For guest-supported gratuity events, a minimum gratuity of $250 per bartender is required. Guests are welcome to tip throughout service; however, should the minimum gratuity amount not be met by the conclusion of the event, the remaining balance will be billed directly to the client immediately following the event. Example: • 2 Bartenders = $500 minimum gratuity • 3 Bartenders = $750 minimum gratuity This policy helps ensure fair compensation for our bartending staff while still allowing guests the opportunity to contribute voluntarily throughout service.
For summer and fall weddings, we recommend at least 10 months in advance.
We provide complimentary travel within a 35-mile radius of zip code 55338. Any mileage beyond this distance will be billed at the current government rate of $0.67 per mile.
Your booking will be considered confirmed once both parties have read, agreed to, signed, and returned the contract within the specified timeframe. A deposit amounting to 50% of your personalized package and any add-ons must also be received within this period. Once these conditions are met, you will receive an email confirming your booking and providing additional information. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable. The remaining balance is due no later than 30 calendar days before the event. If final payment is not received by this deadline, your booking will be canceled immediately.
