Most couples book The Firewell 6–12 months in advance. Peak weekends (spring and fall) fill quickly, so we recommend reaching out as early as possible to reserve your date.

What is your service area?

Accepted Answer

We’re based in Marina del Rey and serve Greater Los Angeles, Orange County, and surrounding areas. We’re open to travel throughout California and surrounding states with advance notice.

Question 8

How does client-provided alcohol work?

Accepted Answer

We do not sell or supply alcohol. You purchase and provide the alcohol for your event, and we handle everything else - including setup, service, mixers, ice, garnishes, and cleanup. We provide a detailed shopping list during your menu consultation so you’ll know exactly what to buy and how much. This BYOB model gives you full control over selection and budget, while we ensure a seamless guest experience. Alcohol order delivery available as an add-on.

Question 9

Can we add our own signature cocktail?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our Premium package includes up to 2 custom cocktails, and you can add a 3rd for a flat fee. We’ll guide you through recipe selection, batch planning, and garnish details to make it truly yours.

Question 10

Can The Firewell be branded for our event?

Definitely. We offer custom vinyl wraps and menu signage as add-ons. Whether you're looking for something fun and playful or sleek and elevated, we can help match the bar to your overall event aesthetic.

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’re happy to create a non-alcoholic signature drink and include zero-proof mixers upon request. Great for family-friendly events or guests who prefer not to drink.

Question 12

Is The Firewell good for indoor or backyard weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Firewell is compact enough to be used indoors at venues with large doors or roll-up access, and it’s ideal for backyard weddings, patios, gardens, and open-air spaces. We’ll confirm access and space requirements during booking to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Question 13

Why is there a 10% service fee?

Accepted Answer

Our 10% service fee helps cover essential behind-the-scenes costs like bar prep, admin time, insurance, permitting, and staffing coordination. It ensures we can deliver a smooth, professional experience from planning through breakdown. This fee is not a gratuity — tipping is always optional and appreciated.

Question 14

Can we tip the bartenders?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — tips are always appreciated but never expected. You’re welcome to tip in cash or via Venmo, whichever is more convenient. Many clients choose to tip at the end of the night or include gratuity in advance. We're grateful for the gesture either way!

Question 15

Why do you require 1 bartender per 50 guests, and why is service capped at 200?

Accepted Answer

For quality and speed of service, we require 1 bartender per 50 guests. This ensures your guests aren’t stuck waiting in line and your drinks are made consistently and safely. The Firewell is best suited for events with up to 200 guests - beyond that, service can become bottlenecked due to the size of the bar. For larger events, we’re happy to offer satellite bar setups or additional service stations as add-ons.
