I would not recommend any freelancing until you've established yourself with 
some experience behind the bar. 

If you're doing it on your own, people attending parties and events will look 
to you to be the master. You will also be dealing with many many different 
types of people who have varied tastes and requests. You need to be able to 
accomodate these varied tastes and discuss options with them. These are things 
that become second nature with experience.

Give yourself some time to become familiarized with the industry and the kind 
of people who drink on a regular basis. Spend some time on both sides of the 
bar. Once you've gotten to the point where you've developed a following of 
loyal customers, you've probably gotten to the point where you'll do ok 
freelancing. 

Good luck! Remember to have fun during the journey.
Lucy
