Setup & Logistics
-
Our Kombi setup is designed to be efficient and flexible, requiring minimal space. Ideally, we need an area of about 3-4 meters in width and 5-6 meters in depth to park and set up comfortably. This space allows room for the Kombi, our bartending area, and any additional décor elements.

We do! Whether glassware and serving essentials are included depends on the package you choose. Some packages come with high-quality glassware and all the necessary serving items, while others may have these available as an extra option. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll make sure your event is perfectly equipped!
