FAQ
What is Decanted Wine Truck and Mobile Bar?
Decanted Wine Truck & Mobile Bar is a full-service mobile bar based in Hudson, MA, serving weddings, corporate events, and private parties across Massachusetts, Connecticut and all of New England. Every event includes a restored vintage trailer or bar cart, TIPS-certified bartenders, and all the alcohol.
We handle the sourcing, setup, service, and cleanup. You handle being a guest at your own party.
How much does a mobile bar cost in Massachusetts / Connecticut?
We don't know about everyone else, but we are fully transparent in our pricing. And our mobile bar events always include the alcohol.
Decanted events start at:
$1,500 for bar carts
$2,000 for Winona or Rosie
$2,500 for Charmaine
Every minimum includes alcohol, bartenders, glassware, insurance, décor, and music. A 20% service fee applies. Meaning, yes, this includes tip!
That number can look higher than other quotes at first glance. That’s because theirs usually doesn’t include the drinks. Compare the totals, not the starting prices.

Do you provide the alcohol and is that included in the quote?
Yes. Always. Every Decanted quote includes the beer, wine, sparkling wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options.
Most mobile bars in MA and CT rent you the bar and staff, then hand you a shopping list. We’re licensed to source and serve alcohol ourselves. That means:
-
no liquor store runs
-
no guessing how much to buy
-
no surprise line items
All drinks must be poured by our bartenders to meet licensing and insurance requirements.
We’re more than just a trailer rental — we manage the bar from start to finish so you can relax and enjoy your celebration.
Can we supply you with wines we want you to pour?
Yes. If there’s a special bottle you want poured, we’re happy to serve it. There’s a $20 corkage fee per bottle, which covers service and keeps everything under our licensing and insurance.
Can you help plan the drink menu?
Absolutely. That’s the fun part. We’ll build a menu around your event, including:
-
signature cocktails
-
a custom cocktail created just for you
-
wine and beer pairings
-
mocktails that don’t feel like an afterthought
What types of events does Decanted mobile bar service?
Decanted serves weddings and micro-weddings, bridal and baby showers, corporate events and holiday parties, brand activations, birthdays, graduations, fundraisers, festivals, and backyard parties. If there’s something to celebrate, we’ll bring the bar.
How early should we book with you?
As early as you can. Our prime season runs May through October and weekends go fast, especially for specific trailers. We’re now booking 2027 weddings and events.
How do we secure a date? Call or email us with your date and we’ll get the ball rolling. Your date is officially yours once we receive the signed agreement and deposit. Until then, it’s still up for grabs.
What is your payment and refund policy?
We require a non-refundable 50% deposit to reserve one of the trailers on your date. This deposit will go towards your final payment. An 20% service fee will also be added to your final bill.
Do you require a power & water source?
Nope! Our trailers have power and water.
What areas do you mobile bars service?
Decanted Wine Truck & Mobile Bar provides full-service mobile bar service throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. We regularly serve events across Greater Boston, MetroWest, Worcester County, and Cape Cod, and we travel throughout both states for weddings, private parties, corporate events, and festivals.
If your event is outside these areas, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to discuss availability and travel details.
Do need a lot of space for the mobile bar trailers?
No really. We just need flat, accessible ground. Setup takes about an hour before guests arrive.
We can park on grass, but we’re not responsible for tire marks or ground damage. Also, if your booking at a venue, check with them about any vehicle restrictions before booking.
Do you have indoor options without the trailers?
Yes. Our bar carts bring the same service, drinks, and style as the trailers in a smaller footprint. They work well in ballrooms, offices, restaurants, and venues where a trailer can’t park.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Decanted carries full liability insurance, and event insurance is included in every package.
