First time bartender! need some advice..anybody work at a catering company before?

i just got a job at a catering company, and they are starting me this weekend at a party ..this is the first time i've worked as a bartender besides training at bars as a guest...but they expect me to know how to set up the bar before the party (which i've never done before) i'm guessing they just want me to cut lemons and limes and get ice and stuff like that? anybody ever bartend at a place like this that can help me out??First time bartender! need some advice..anybody work at a catering company before?
OK, you're off to a good start. Add maraschino cherries, green olives, coctail onions, and fruits like orange slices. Make sure you have enough straws, swizzles, napkins. Make sure you have at least 3 bar towels, and a few extras. Also an ice scoop, corkscrew, a zester, a bowl of salt, a bowl of sugar, a couple small knives, a couple serving trays. Even a jack-knife or foil cutter if there will be a lot of wine. Brush up on drinks, dress nice, be as friendly as the occasion allows for, and if you don't know how to make a drink, it's OK to ask the guest. Just say ';I'm not quite familiar with that one, how would YOU like it made?'; You'll be fine, and don't forget your mixers and juices and waters, and SMILE!
