Terms of Service & Policies

Last updated: July 16, 2026

These Terms of Service and Policies (the "Terms") govern your use of theluxepour.com (the "Site") and your engagement of private bartending services from The Luxe Pour Affair ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site or booking our services, you agree to these Terms. Booked events are additionally governed by a signed Service Agreement; where these Terms and a signed Service Agreement differ, the Service Agreement controls.

1. Our services

The Luxe Pour Affair provides private mobile bartending services in the Greater Boston area, including TIPS-certified bartenders, styled bar setups, bar equipment, mixers, fresh juice, soft drinks, garnishes, service ware, and setup and breakdown, as described in the client's selected collection.

2. Dry-hire model

We operate as a dry-hire service in accordance with Massachusetts law. We do not sell, supply, or furnish alcoholic beverages. Clients purchase and provide all alcohol for their events; we provide a customized drink menu, alcohol selection guidance, and a detailed shopping list to assist. All alcohol served must be owned by the client and provided to guests without charge; no sale of alcohol may occur at any event we serve.

3. Quotes and estimates

• Figures produced by the estimate builder on our Packages page are estimates only and do not constitute a binding offer. Final pricing is confirmed in a written quote.
• Written quotes are valid for fourteen (14) days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated.
• Published pricing may change; confirmed bookings are honored at their contracted price.

4. Booking, deposits, and payment

• A date is reserved only upon our receipt of a signed Service Agreement and a deposit of fifty percent (50%) of the total.
• The remaining balance is due four (4) weeks prior to the event date.
• No service charge, administrative fee, or gratuity is added to our pricing.

5. Guest counts

• Each collection includes a stated guest count: The Aperitif, up to 40 guests; The Soirée, up to 75 guests; The Affair, up to 120 guests.
• Additional guests are billed at $15 per guest, reflecting the additional mixers, ice, juice, garnishes, and service ware required.
• Final guest counts are due four (4) weeks prior to the event. Guests attending in excess of the confirmed count are invoiced following the event.
• Events exceeding 120 guests are quoted individually.

6. Gratuity

Our bartenders are compensated in full by The Luxe Pour Affair. No gratuity is charged to clients, and none is expected of clients or their guests. A tip jar is placed on the bar for guests who wish to thank the bartending team directly; any such gratuities are voluntary, given at guests' sole discretion, and received by the bartending team.

7. Cancellation and rescheduling

• Deposits are non-refundable.
• Cancellations made thirty (30) days or more before the event incur no charge beyond the deposit.
• Cancellations made fewer than thirty (30) days before the event require payment of the full balance.

8. Responsible service

• All bartenders are TIPS-certified.
• We reserve the sole right to refuse service to any guest who appears intoxicated, cannot produce valid identification, or is under twenty-one (21) years of age. Clients agree to support these decisions.
• We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue service, without refund, in the event of unsafe conditions, harassment of staff, or unlawful conduct.

9. Client responsibilities
