FAQ
How does the Alcohol Blueprint work?
Our Alcohol Blueprint is basically your event’s drink game plan.
Instead of guessing how much alcohol to buy, what mixers you need, or how everything should be set up, we help map it out for you based on your event details.
We look at things like your guest count, event length, drink preferences, menu style, and the type of experience you want your bar to have. From there, we create a simple guide that helps you understand what alcohol, mixers, garnishes, and supplies may be needed for your event.
The goal is to make the bar feel planned, polished, and prepared without you having to figure it all out alone.
What’s included in the Alcohol Blueprint?
Once you complete the Alcohol Blueprint, you’ll instantly be able to view your suggested shopping list based on the event details you entered.
After that, our team reviews your information to make sure everything makes sense for your guest count, event length, drink menu, and overall bar setup. Once reviewed, we’ll send a copy of your shopping list to your email, most likely as a PDF, so you have an easy version to save, reference, or shop from.
Your blueprint may include:
-
Recommended alcohol quantities
-
Mixer and garnish suggestions
-
Signature cocktail planning
-
Bar setup notes
-
Shopping guidance
-
Prep recommendations
-
Drink menu direction
-
Event-day alcohol readiness checklist
-
The goal is to give you a clearer picture of what your bar needs before the event, so there is less stress, less overbuying, and fewer last-minute surprises.
Do you provide alcohol?
Due to Texas alcohol laws, The Aurum Collective does not directly sell or provide alcohol. Clients are responsible for the purchase of their own alcohol.
That said, we do offer options to make the process easier. Through our Alcohol Blueprint, we help guide you on what to purchase based on your guest count, event length, drink menu, and overall bar needs.
We also offer alcohol procurement and concierge options, where we can assist with organizing the alcohol order, coordinating details, or picking up alcohol on your behalf when available. This allows you to stay in control of the alcohol purchase while still having support through the planning process.
What is your cancellation policy?
Retainers are non-refundable. Cancellations made closer to the event date may still be responsible for a portion of the remaining balance based on the notice provided. Full cancellation terms are outlined in the service agreement.
Can I reschedule my event?
Events may be rescheduled with advance notice and based on availability. Rescheduling requests submitted too close to the event date may be subject to fees or treated as a cancellation under our policy.
Can I make changes after booking?
Yes. We understand events evolve during planning. Changes to guest count, menu selections, rentals, or service details must be submitted before the final planning deadline to guarantee accommodation.
What happens if my event runs longer than planned?
Additional service time may be approved based on staff availability and will be billed at the agreed extended-service hourly rate.
