What we offer…
Getting Hitched
Our unique mobile event cart comes to you, stocked and ready to serve!
-
Once we have discussed the details of your event and have your date secured, we will send you an estimated cost list along with a contract to sign. A deposit of $250 will be required at sign. (We will refund 100% of this deposit if canceled within 90 days of the event)
90 days before your event, we will reconfirm your event date and send you any supply cost changes that may have occurred (either for the estimated alcohol or garnishes and mixers costs.)
30 days before your event, we will check in again to schedule any necessary pick ups and make sure the alcohol has been ordered and the banquet license was obtained. (50% refund will be offered if the event is canceled by this point.)
1 week prior we will contact you for confirmation and for any weather related contingency needs. (The Hitch can operate rain or shine, but a tent may need to be used for guests waiting in line for service. This could be an extra cost if not provided by the host.)
On the Day Of, we will arrive 1 hour prior to your event for set up (unless arranged otherwise.) Once we’re set up, we’ll be ready to serve!

We provide expert mixing, garnishing and pouring of your choice of beverage.
We can offer up to 3 different specialty drinks per event. That can include any combination of beer, wine, cider, non alcoholic or spirited mixed drinks.
The Hitch has 2 taps available for beer, cider or kegged wine. (either one 1/4 keg or two 1/6 kegs)
We can accommodate bottle service for groups up to 100 (beer/wine on ice)
We strive to use glassware as much as we can to lower our environmental impact and will plan to do so for groups of 100 or less.
We will always offer drinking water at no cost to guests.
We are happy to serve food items that are prepackaged or prepared by a licensed caterer. (Contact us for options.)
We are happy to hand out merchandise, favors or any physical item you would like. (Contact us for inspiration.)
Alcohol
All alcohol will need to be purchased directly by the host prior to the event and a Virginia ABC Banquet license will need to be obtained.
-
While The Hitch does carry general liquor liability insurance to safely serve alcohol, we do not hold a liquor license and therefore the host will need to purchase all alcohol and obtain the banquet license directly from the VA ABC website.
We want to make this easy for you! So we’re happy to direct you to the site and help you obtain and pick up the alcohol and license as needed.
Owning the alcohol means that any remaining at the end of your event are yours to keep or return to the ABC store for a refund! (Return conditions apply.)
Garnishes and Mixers
At cost - to be assessed
-
Fresh squeezed juices and expertly cut produce add that extra magic touch to specialty drinks!
We want to provide you with the highest quality garnishes and mixers and will do so with your cost approval!
We will estimate the costs based on the choice of beverage you request and present the itemized list along with the event contract for you to look over and agree to before scheduling your event.
Preparation
and Traveling
$250 Customization Fee
Travel Fee - No extra travel cost within Harrisonburg City limits
$5/mi outside of Harrisonburg City
-
Our Customization Fee helps cover the costs involved with preparing and personalizing The Hitch for your custom event! That includes bespoke menus, themed decor, special requests, help with compliance and licensing, equipment and supply preparation and generally making sure everything is exactly how you imagined it to be!
Our service area is located in the heart of Harrisonburg city, but we’d be happy to travel outside the area for an additional travel fee.
This fee allows us to keep the Hitch road ready and compensate for the fuel that this little heavyweight calls for!
The Hitch requires a flat space of about 12x18 ft, plus clear space to back in and out.
The Hitch is set up to plug into a regular grounded and protected electrical outlet along with the option for 30 amp service via extension cords.
