Bow Ties & Bubbles

Fequently asked Questions

What exactly is Bow Ties & Bubbles?

Bow Ties & Bubbles is a mobile tap trailer experience designed for life’s celebrations — weddings, birthdays, showers, corporate gatherings, grand openings, celebrations of life, and everything in between.

We bring the trailer, the taps, the setup, and the experience. You bring the beverages (just like you would for any party), and we handle the rest.

Do you carry a liquor license?

Great news — because we do not purchase, sell, or provide alcohol, we are not required to carry a liquor license.

Our clients provide all beverages for their event, and we provide the mobile tap service and staffed experience.

We do carry:
✔ General Liability Insurance
✔ Liquor Liability Insurance
✔ California RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) Certification

So you can book with confidence.

Do you carry insurance?

Yes — absolutely.

We carry both General Liability and Liquor Liability coverage and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request.

If your venue needs to be listed as Additional Insured, just send us their information and we’ll coordinate it.

What kinds of beverages can be served from the trailer?

Pretty much anything keggable!

Our taps can pour:

🍺 Beer
🍷 Wine
🥂 Prosecco & sparkling wine
☕ Cold brew coffee
🍹 Cocktails
🍸 Espresso martinis
🫖 Teas
💧 Sparkling waters
🍋 Lemonades
🧃 Juices
✨ Mocktails + More

If it can be kegged, chances are we can pour it.

How do cocktails or mocktails work?

Easy!

We have empty 2.5-gallon and 5-gallon kegs available for your event.

We’ll deliver them to you the evening before or the morning of your event, and you’ll use them as your mixing vessel.

Think of it like prepping a large batch cocktail — just cleaner, colder, and way more fun to serve.

Perfect for:
Espresso martinis, margaritas, mimosas, mocktails, sangria, lemonade, and more.

How do I do Prosecco or specialty drinks if they don’t come in kegs?

If Prosecco or sparkling wine isn’t available in keg form locally, we’ll tell you exactly how many bottles to purchase based on your guest count.

We’ll provide the empty keg(s), and you simply pour the bottles in.

Same goes for batch cocktails and specialty beverages.

How do I know how much to buy?

That’s our job to help with.

Once your event details are finalized (guest count, event length, beverage selections), we’ll curate a customized shopping list for you.

That includes:

• Recommended keg sizes
• Number of bottles needed
• Gallon recommendations
• Ice recommendations
• Beverage quantity estimates

We’ll even point you toward local purchasing options like Costco, Food 4 Less, BevMo, Total Wine, and other suppliers.

For Southern California events, we also have access to an Los Angeles keg beverage distributor that can provide kegged Prosecco, cocktails, and espresso martinis.

Who purchases the alcohol or beverages?

Clients do.

Just like hosting any event, you’ll purchase your own beverages and (if desired) ice for pre-chilling.

This keeps things simple, compliant, and flexible — and gives you full control over what’s being served.

How are the kegs kept cold?

Our trailer is equipped with a built-in cold box system (called a jumper box) that keeps your beverages cold using ice — no noisy generators or refrigeration systems needed.

We also have keg coolers for additional chilling support.

Cold drinks. Clean pours. Happy guests.

Will you need electricity?

Good news — nope!

Our trailer is fully equipped for off-grid service.

Because of our built-in cooling system and draft setup, we do not need to plug into your power.

That means easier setup and more flexibility.

Can the trailer go indoors or poolside?

Yes!

As long as there is at least a 6-foot-wide opening, we can pull the trailer right into many indoor or backyard spaces.

We also have an electric dolly that helps us position the trailer exactly where you want it.

Perfect for indoor venues, backyard celebrations, and poolside parties.

If you’re unsure, just ask!

Can I add extra time to my event?

Of course!

If our schedule allows and we don’t have another event immediately after yours, we’re happy to keep the celebration going.

Additional time is billed according to your booking agreement.

Just let us know before we start our breakdown process.

Do you offer Fresno Chamber member discounts?

How much space do you need?

For setup, we typically ask for:

• A relatively level surface
• Room to park and maneuver
• Access for setup and breakdown

Not sure if your space will work? Send us photos — we’re happy to help assess.

How far in advance should I book?

The sooner, the better.

Popular dates (especially spring, summer, and fall weekends) can book quickly.

If you have a date in mind, reach out early so we can reserve it.

Can you work with my venue or planner?

Absolutely.

We love collaborating with venues, planners, coordinators, and vendors to make your event seamless.

We’re happy to coordinate logistics, insurance documents, and venue requirements ahead of time.
