What is a “dry hire” company?

Hot Mess Xpress operates as a dry hire company, which means that while we provide the mobile bar setup, TABC-qualified bartenders, and all necessary equipment, you are responsible for supplying the alcohol. This approach allows you to choose your preferred beverages and customize your drink menu according to your tastes and budget.

How much does your service cost?

The cost of our service depends on the specific needs and requirements of your event. Factors such as the number of guests, duration of the event, and any additional services or customization will influence the overall price.
