The bar at the heart of your reception

From villa cocktail parties and weddings to product launches and corporate receptions, the bar should fit naturally into the flow of the event. MES Events organises event bartender services according to guest numbers, the planned drinks menu, the number of bar stations and venue requirements. In Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes and Saint-Tropez, coordination with the caterer and front-of-house team helps ensure seamless service from the welcome drinks to the end of the reception.

MES Events handles bar service and its operational coordination. Drinks, ingredients and equipment are arranged by the client or their other providers; MES Events does not sell or supply drinks. Food preparation remains the responsibility of the caterer.

Is MES Events a caterer?

No. MES Events handles bar service and operational reception coordination. Catering and food preparation remain the responsibility of the caterer or relevant provider.
