“Wow! Such a great experience. Millie and Lew were fantastic. Millie helped create the perfect curated drink menu for our networking event, the bar was gorgeous and Lew made amazing drinks! Will be using them again!”

— L.P. Five Star VHR, October 2025

“We asked Millie to be our bartender for our wedding ceremony. Millie met with us several times and stayed in constant contact with us in the days leading up to our wedding. She presented great organizational skills and showed a deep knowledge of her industry. She showed up early and brought her own bar tools and decor, made two very delicious pre batched cocktails, and put together a downright delicious old fashioned. She also gathered and offered beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages to anyone who wanted something to sip on before the ceremony. She was friendly and courteous, and afterward she cleaned up the whole area(!!!) and left the place looking clean and organized. You could not go wrong hiring Millie to be your event bartender! 10/10, would recommend!”

Frequently Asked Questions

*

Frequently Asked Questions *

  • No, due to Texas liquor laws, we cannot legally sell or provide the alcohol.

    We operate as a "dry-hire" mobile bartending service. This means you purchase the alcohol, and we provide everything else, from the portable bar and bartenders to mixers and craft garnishes.

    * We can act as a limited agent to pick-up and drop off pre-paid orders from select stores.

  • The number of mobile bartenders needed for your event will depend on a few factors.

    1. How many guests are attending your event?

    2. What types of drinks will be served?

    3. The length of the event.

    We will help you determine the ideal number of staff during the booking process. The most important factor is that guests don’t have to wait in line!

  • Yes. We carry a $1,000,000 general/excess liability insurance and liquor liability insurance. All of our staff are also TABC certified.

    We are happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance when required by your venue.

  • To begin the booking process, please submit a custom quote request. We will review the information and provide you with a customized proposal for your event.

    Once the proposal is approved, we require a $350 non-refundable deposit and a signed contract to secure your event date.

    Once the booking requirements are met, we will schedule a call to discuss the event details. This call also includes how much alcohol to purchase, custom cocktail creation, and any questions you may have leading up to the event.

    Final payment, event details, and menu selection are due 10 days in advance of your event.

  • We offer two unique mobile bar rentals:

    • Monarch, our 4’ Boho-style bar with fluted wood and a natural finish.

    • Swallowtail, our 5’ Black Herringbone bar.

    Each bar requires a flat, firm surface and clear entry to the venue for setup.

    If space limitations are a concern, we have other options for set up.

    We’re happy to provide the exact dimensions during the booking process!

  • We believe there is room at the bar for everyone which is why we’re happy to create a fun selection of craft mocktails for your guests.

    Whether it's for a few individuals or for your entire party, we can create a delicious non-alcoholic/mocktail menu just for you.

  • Totally! We understand sometimes you just need an extra set of hands. We do provide “Just a Bartender” or event staff for your private party.

    Please inquire for pricing and availablity!

  • Social Butterfly ATX specializes in intimate & mid-sized gatherings. However, we can provide services for any sized group, festival or event! Here are some of our favorite types of events:

    Milestone Birthday Parties

    Bachelorette/Bachelor Parties

    Weddings & Elopement Parties

    Engagement Parties & Rehearsal Dinners

    Themed Parties (Halloween, Christmas etc.)

    The University of Texas Longhorns Tailgate Parties

    and, pretty much any other reason not listed here!

    We love a party!

A smiling woman and a bearded man standing close together at a celebration, both holding drinks. The woman has dark hair styled with a decorative hairpiece, and the man is wearing a floral-patterned shirt with a boutonniere.

Millie and Charles have been married for over a decade, blending their Chicago and San Antonio roots into a shared love of good food, good drinks, and great company. Their story started over cocktails and that spark turned into a lasting passion for hosting and hospitality.

Millie brings years of event management and big ideas to create guest-centered events. Charles works behind the scenes doing everything from tech support to quality assurance.

She’s a connector and creative, while he’s the hands-on thinker and doer of everything. Together, they run Social Butterfly ATX, a boutique mobile bar experience that turns everyday gatherings into effortlessly elevated celebrations.
