Before we pour.
Common questions from hotels, restaurants and brands. Anything else, send an email.
How far in advance should we book?
Two or more weeks is recommended for most events. Peak-season and international dates benefit from a month or longer.
Where does Mayur travel?

What does the venue need to provide?
A working bar or serving table, power, ice and glassware cover most formats. A tailored prep checklist follows once the date is confirmed.
Can the menu be tailored to our brand?
