What if it rains at my event?

No worries if it decides to rain on your parade! In case of wet weather, we'll need a tent. We're super flexible and can coordinate with your venue or tent provider to make sure we get the right size. Your event, rain or shine, will be a blast!
What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept Venmo, Zelle, and most major credit cards for your convenience. When you're all set to reserve your spot on our coastal calendar and lock in your date, we'll send you a contract to sign along with a simple online payment form. You'll need to make a 50% deposit at that time. The remaining balance will be due four weeks before your event.
How long before my event, is Jilly’s Coastal Social Cart & Mobile Bar set up?

Our recommendation for loading in Jilly’s Coastal Social Cart & Mobile Bar is 1.5 hours prior to the serving time. That being said, we will work directly with you or your event planner or caterer to determine the best load-in and setup time for all. A surcharge may apply if additional time is needed. As the clock strikes the contracted event end time, we'll dive into a 45-minute whirlwind of cleanup and hitch-up action to bid adieu. Please keep this in mind when plotting our trailer's parking spot. If we find ourselves party-stranded, additional fees might sneak up on us, and we wouldn't want that! Let's keep the coastal vibes flowing!
