FAQs

Where are you located? What areas do you serve?

We are based out of Boyne City, Michigan. The primary regions that we serve include Charlevoix County and the surrounding counties. We are willing to travel throughout Michigan for additional cost.

What are your fees?

Our packages are customized based on a variety of factors, including location, hours, number of guests, number of bartenders, and the services you are requesting. Visit the event information form page, and fill out information form. Once received, one of our Gals will set up a consultation call to discuss your event and put together a customized quote.

Do you provide the alcohol?

No, our packages do not include any alcohol. You will need to purchase the alcohol from a separate vendor (store, your caterer, your venue), which will then be mixed and served by our bartenders. However, all of the prep work leading up to your alcohol purchase will be done by us—if needed we will help you to decide what you need to order, how much you need to order, and when/where it should arrive.

Do you provide the bartenders?

Yes, we provide the appropriate number of TBAC certified bartenders needed for your event. Giddy Up Gals is set-up to accommodate up to two bartenders working out of the trailer. It has one bar on the long side of the trailer and one bar at the rear of the trailer. This allows for 2 beverage lines to form, for less wait-time and more party-time for your guests! If your event requires more than two bartenders, we can set-up additional bar stations outside of the trailer, as needed.

What type of events are you able to serve?

We are able to serve at private events. This includes weddings, birthday parties, baby or bridal showers, corporate parties, fundraisers, graduations, block parties, non-profits, engagement parties, etc. Events must not be operating as a "cash bar", as we are unable to sell alcohol from our trailer.

I love the idea of fun custom cocktails! Can you help me choose?

Absolutely! We love creating custom cocktails that you and your guest will be raving about! We are glad to take your guidance, if you have a certain cocktail in mind, or we can mix up a handful of fun options for you to choose from during your consultation.

I have no idea how much alcohol to order! Can you help with the decision making?

Yes! Part of our service is to walk you through the process of planning all things beverage-related. We are glad to help you to decide on the amounts and types of alcohol, mixers, juices, etc. Our goal is to make this part of the party planning easy and fun!

What is the process to reserve a date?

Once you have taken a look at what we have to offer take a look at our event information form page and fill out the short information form. Once our Gals has received your information form we will set up a consultation call to discuss the details of your event (date, time, venue, number of guests, services desired, etc.), we will send you a custom quote. A non-refundable deposit along with a signed contract will be required in order to hold your date.

Can we add decorations to the trailer?

Yes, you are welcome to add decorations to the trailer to help match the look of your event. However, the trailer is designed to be able to stand alone without any additional décor. Our custom trailer serves as a great backdrop for Instagram and Facebook worthy photos. Any decorations added by the client must be hung without using nails, glue, or anything that would permanently alter the trailer. We also offer a selection of décor that can be added to your package for an additional cost (chalk board signage, vintage wooden crates, standing beverage coolers, customized floral arrangements, holiday decorations, etc.).

Can you serve beer out of kegs?

Yes. Giddy Up Gals is equipped with four taps that are linked to a kegerator. The kegerator can fit four half kegs.

Where can the trailer be positioned?

When unhitched, The Giddy Up Gals trailer is approximately 12 feet long by 8 feet wide and 7 feet 8 inches tall. We can position the trailer anywhere that allows enough room to drive the towing vehicle out of the party area after unhitching (or allows us to back the trailer into place). Flat open space is ideal, but we should be able to maneuver the trailer into most spaces.

Is electricity required?

We prefer to be located within 100 feet of a standard 110V outlet, which will allow us to power our kegerator and frozen beverage dispenser. In addition, we have extra outlets of all types within the trailer, which can provide power for additional appliances (espresso machine, coffee machine, speakers, etc.).

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Giddy Up Gals is licensed and insured. Giddy Up Gals carries General Event Insurance, Liquor Liability Insurance and our bartenders are TABC Certified.

Do you refund for rain?

No, we have awnings covering the front and side bar area.

Do you provide serving products?

Yes! We provide cups*, napkins, stir sticks and straws, garnishes, ice.
