The bartending costs are $25 per serve hour per bartender and $1.50 per person set-up fee, which compensates the server to shop and purchase all necessary beverage items at your cost. Clients are responsible for any and all consequences of alcohol consumption. Badger Farms, LLC, its owners and personnel, is exempt of any and all liabilities that may result from the serving of alcoholic beverages.

Additional sound systems may be rented for $100 for the speakers, amplifier, and CD player, or $200 including our wireless microphones. These systems are available for outside use during the ceremony or inside use for extremely loud music, and the fees include set-up, assistance in operation, and dismantling thereof.
