Amelia Island BYOB Bartender: Certified, Insured Event Bartending
Amelia Island is a favorite for destination weddings and family reunions, and many of those events happen at beach houses and vacation rentals rather than resorts. Most resort venues on the island handle alcohol in house, so we focus where we're most useful: private homes and rental properties in Fernandina Beach, on the island, and in Yulee.
When the venue is a rental, the bar is often an afterthought until the week of. We help you plan it early — staffing, shopping list, and setup — and our TIPS certified, insured bartenders handle service while your family enjoys the weekend.
Making a Rental Feel Like a Venue
A vacation rental doesn't come with a bar team, so we bring one. We arrive with bar tools, coolers, and a clean setup that turns a kitchen counter or patio table into a proper service station, and we work around the rhythm of a family weekend.
Fernandina Beach and Yulee hosts often have guests flying in and staying for several days. We send a shopping list early so someone can stop at the store once, not three times, and we confirm details by phone 72 hours ahead. If you're planning a reunion, tell us about the youngest and oldest guests — we'll keep service relaxed and responsible for every age group in the house.

Local Planning Tips
Check the rental agreement
Many rentals limit events, guest counts, or alcohol. Read the agreement and confirm with the owner before booking vendors.
Travel timing over the bridge
Traffic to and from the island can slow on weekends. We plan our arrival with extra time for the bridge.
Load-in with property managers
Tell us the property manager's rules on parking, gate codes, and where vendors may set up.
