Frequently asked questions
Answers before the first pour.
The practical details behind dry-hire bartending, service, travel and booking.
What is dry-hire bartending?
The Twisted Lily cannot provide or sell the alcohol. You purchase the alcohol using a detailed shopping list we prepare; we bring the service, bar equipment, mixers, garnishes and other package inclusions.
Do you provide the alcohol?
No. The client purchases and provides all alcohol. This gives you control over preferred brands and budget, and you keep anything left after the event.
What types of events do you serve?
Weddings, holiday parties, retirement celebrations, birthdays, quinceañeras, corporate events, showers, open houses and just about any reason you want to celebrate.
Do you offer alcohol-free service?
Yes. We create full mocktail experiences and non-alcoholic beverage stations for family events, children’s parties and alcohol-free occasions.
Where are you located?
The Twisted Lily is based in La Vernia, Texas, just outside San Antonio, and serves surrounding South Texas communities.
How far do you travel?
Standard packages include travel within 100 miles of ZIP code 78121. Travel beyond that radius may be available for an additional per-mile fee.
How long is service?
Standard packages include five hours of service. Additional hours can be added when available.
How many bartenders will I need?
Your quote will account for guest count, menu complexity and venue layout. Additional bartenders are available for larger events.
Do you offer military or first-responder discounts?
Yes. The Twisted Lily offers 15% off for active-duty, retired and reserve military members with identification, as well as first responders.
How do I reserve my event?
Start by completing the estimate form with your date, location, guest count and event type. We will review the details, recommend a service plan and explain the steps to secure your date.
