South Africa Event Planning

Overview

The Bartenders Workshop has been operating within South Africa’s hospitality and events industries for more than a decade, handling the bar requirements of thousands of different functions and celebrations. As well as providing a number of courses for bartenders, we cater to corporate, sporting and entertainment industry clients to provide mobile bars for their special events.

Our staff members (10 permanent employees and more than 200 casuals) are trained and experienced in the fascinating art of bartending. They share our commitment to providing a fun, entertaining and professional service, no matter the event or your unique requirements. These bartenders have been trained to handle events of up to 10 000 people, while still providing a full cash bar.

To date, we have trained in excess of 8 000 bartenders. At any event in the country, staff members from our wide-ranging portfolio are employed to perform the following duties and features:

• Cocktails – our competent bartenders will prepare and serve a variety of delicious cocktails for the crowd and guests to sample.
• Mixology – during the cocktail presentation, your guests are encouraged to interact with the bartender; giving this a personalised, comfortable feel.
• Flairtending – bartenders showcase their choreographed moves that include fire and flair routines.
• Standard Bar Operations – pro bartenders will serve drinks and perform the complete range of bar duties.
• Cash Bar Operations – the complete bar management service, including the handling of stock and large amounts of cash, are handled by Bartenders Workshop.

All of our mobile bars are designed to be ergonomic, practical, easy to transport and assemble, and very stylish. Vinyl decals can be added to customise the bars for your specific event or product launch.

Bartenders Workshop’s mobile bars have featured at more than 50 of the country’s largest events. At each function, we are determined to uphold our professionalism and expertise, while handling large stocks and large amounts of money responsibly and honestly. We run cash bars and / or hospitality bars at various sports stadiums around South Africa, including Orlando Stadium, FNB Stadium, and Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, as well as at the acclaimed Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
 
During the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, Bartenders Workshop managed bars at the various football sporting events as well as at three different Fan Parks. We have also run bars for The Super 14™ Final and the Tri Nations™ competition.
