F.A.Q.

Do you supply the alcohol?

Yes. When Bar Magnolia provides the alcohol, we manage the selection, quantities, and service for you. If you prefer to purchase the alcohol yourself, we can provide a detailed shopping list based on your guest count and menu.

Can you host a cash bar?

Yes. We can provide cash bar service and handle the necessary permitting and alcohol requirements for your event.

Where are you located and will you travel?

Bar Magnolia is based in the Nashville area and serves events throughout Tennessee and beyond. Travel within 30 miles is included in our standard pricing. For events outside that area, an extended service area fee may apply.

Can you serve coffee?

Yes. We offer full-service coffee bars with espresso drinks, seasonal lattes made with locally roasted coffee. Coffee service can be booked on its own or added to another Bar Magnolia service.

What is your payment and refund policy?

For events booked more than 30 days in advance, a 50% retainer is required to secure your date. Events booked within 30 days are due in full at booking, and all remaining balances must be paid in full prior to the event.

If plans change, we’ll do our best to accommodate a new date based on availability but deposits are non-refundable.

Do you have a rain date policy?

We’re unable to hold backup dates. If weather affects your plans, your event can be rescheduled to another available date. For outdoor events that move forward as planned, the host is responsible for providing appropriate coverage for the bar in case of inclement weather.

What are the technical requirements for the bars?

Our bars require a flat, level surface and clear access for setup and breakdown. Bar access must be stair-free, and any elevators used for load-in must be large enough to accommodate the bar. Some services, including espresso service, may also require access to dedicated power.

How far in advance do we need to book?

Peak dates can book well in advance, so we recommend reaching out as soon as you know your event date. That said, availability changes throughout the year, and we’re always happy to check your date.
