ASKED
QUESTIONS
Q. how do you drive birdie on the roads?
We don’t. Birdie is transported to every event in a fully enclosed trailer. Once she arrives at the venue, she is unloaded and positioned for service.
Q. how big is birdie?
She weighs approximately 600 pounds and measures about 5 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide and is 10 feet long, allowing her to fit comfortably in many spaces!
Q. how are drinks kept cold?
Birdie was completely customized with a built-in enclosed ice well, allowing us to keep up to nine bottles of champagne or Prosecco perfectly chilled throughout your event.
Q. can birdie be branded with my logo?
Birdie was intentionally designed as a clean slate. While she can be presented unbranded, we are more than happy to work with you to incorporate custom branding on her doors.
q. how far in advance should i book birdie?
Birdie is a one-of-a-kind experience and availability is limited. We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak wedding season and high-demand dates.
Q. can birdie provide alcohol service?
Yes. We work exclusively with a licensed, insured mobile bartending company that can provide a seamless, professional alcohol service experience.
Q. my venue doesn't allow outside alcohol.
No problem! We work seamlessly with various venues to create a styled champagne or signature drink display using the venue’s own alcohol and service guidelines.
