Planning an event in New Orleans? Whether it’s a wedding, festival, or backyard party, booking your mobile bar early can make or break your celebration. With so many local events and a booming party scene, availability goes fast—especially for unique experiences like Tap Truck NOLA.
Here’s everything you need to know about when to book, why it matters, and how to secure your perfect pour.
Why Timing Matters When Booking a Mobile Bar
Mobile bars like Tap Truck NOLA don’t just serve drinks—we help create unforgettable experiences. Because of that, demand is high, especially during peak seasons. Booking early ensures:
- You get your preferred date and time
- You have time to customize your drink menu
- There’s no last-minute stress around permits or logistics
Waiting too long could mean settling for a less exciting option—or missing out entirely.
Typical Booking Windows for Different Types of Events
How early should you book? It depends on the type of event:
- Weddings: 6–12 months in advance
Couples plan far ahead, and bar services are a major feature. - Corporate Events: 3–6 months in advance
Especially if it’s around the holidays or linked to Mardi Gras season. - Festivals & Large Events: 6+ months in advance
City permits, vendor coordination, and crowd size call for early planning. - Private Parties & Backyard Celebrations: 1–3 months in advance
These are quicker to plan, but summer weekends book up fast!
Peak Seasons in New Orleans: What You Need to Know
New Orleans has its own rhythm—and so does event planning. Some seasons get especially busy for vendors like us:
- Mardi Gras (February–March)
- Jazz Fest & Spring Weddings (April–May)
- Fall Events & Halloween Parties (September–October)
- Holiday Season (November–December)
If your event falls in one of these windows, don’t wait. Book as soon as you confirm your date.
