Quote the Event
Turn the event details into a clear quote with your member tools: the Quote Maker, the Event Product & Cost Estimator and the Batch & Liquid Calculator.
Your Packages and Experiences show clients a starting point. The quote is built around their actual event: the guest count, the hours, the setup, the travel and the menu. A quote sent before you know those is a guess.
Your member tools turn those details into numbers. You'll find them under Calculators in your member menu.
Members-only tools. The Quote Estimate Calculator, Event Product & Cost Estimator, Batch & Liquid Calculator, and Business Assistant are available when you're logged in to your FindBartenders account. If you see a members-only message, log in first.

Confirm the event details
Event type, date, location, guest count, hours, and who supplies the alcohol. Missing any? Ask first. See Understand the Event Before You Quote.
Estimate supplies if you provide them
Use the Event Product & Cost Estimator to work out quantities and costs.
Plan any batched drinks
Use the Batch & Liquid Calculator for signature cocktails served at volume.
Build the quote
Use the Quote Estimate Calculator to put it together for the client.
Send it with context
Say what's included, what isn't, and how long the quote is good for. Add your FindBartenders link so the client can see your work, or attach the Event Album from an event like theirs.
A tool gives you a starting point, not your final price. Adjust for your own costs, experience, travel and the details of the event.
Know what clients have already seen
FindBartenders has a public cost calculator that hosts use to estimate bartender pricing from guest count, service level and staffing. Some clients will have looked at it before they reached out to you.
