HOW DO I RESERVE HITCH & BARREL?

Simply go to “Say Hello” and tell us about your event or email info@hitchandbarrel.ca. We’ll contact you to confirm your date and discuss your event details. Your date will be reserved upon receipt of a signed rental contract and 50% deposit via etransfer. Payment of the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your event.

WHAT KINDS OF EVENTS DO YOU SERVICE?

Hitch & Barrel is happy to host any indoor or outdoor event you can dream up… weddings, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, milestone birthdays, bridal showers, corporate events, client and employee appreciation parties, golf tournaments, and fundraisers! Reach out to us if you have any event ideas you’d like for us to be a part of!

WHAT OTHER FUN IDEAS CAN YOU HOST?

Hitch & Barrel is versatile and can be used as a dessert bar, cigar and whiskey lounge, macaron bubbly bar, brownie bubbly bar, a to-go station, a full service bar, a flower truck, a photo booth or any idea you may have!

WHAT IS THE CLIENT RESPONSIBLE FOR?

Due to provincial laws, we cannot obtain a liquor license nor purchase alcohol. The contracted party would need to apply for a Special Occasion Permit (through AGCO) and purchase alcohol. We will provide you a full shopping list based on your package selections to make it easy for our clients! More information here.

DO YOU SUPPLY THE BARTENDER(S)?

All of our packages include two bar attendants to serve all your beverages. Our staff are all SMART serve certified and will provide you with exceptional service. For larger events, over 100 guests, additional bartenders will be required for every 50 additional guests at $25/hr.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EVENT?

Hitch & Barrel prefers to be within 50 feet of one (1) standard 120V electrical outlet. We would need enough room to pull our truck and trailer though, turn around and park. Level ground is preferred and a 20’ clear area.

IF POWER IS NOT AVAILABLE, HOW DOES THAT WORK?

No worries… we have a small generator that can be rented for $75 and includes up to 8 hours of continuous run time. We just need to know at the time of booking if you require us to include it in your package.

WHEN WILL YOU SET-UP FOR MY EVENT?

Our package pricing reflects set-up that starts one hour prior to the bar opening. An additional fee may be charged if an earlier set-up time is required.

WHERE DO YOU TRAVEL TO?

Hitch & Barrel lives in Guelph, Ontario. Travel up to 50 kilometers from Guelph is included in the quoted price. We love a good road trip and are happy to travel throughout Southern Ontario. Travel more than 50 kilometers from Guelph will incur a $0.80 per kilometer round trip fee.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

A full refund is provided if you cancel up to 90 days from your event date. Our booking season is made in advance, so, unfortunately, cancellations made between 30-90 prior to the event will result in the loss of the deposit, and cancellations made within 30 days of the event will be charged the full amount.

WHAT IS THE RAIN PLAN?

Sadly, we cannot accommodate cancellations due to the weather. However, we can usually find an indoor location to use, or pending availability we can reschedule your event to an alternative date.

WHAT ARE THE RENTAL PACKAGES AND COSTS?
