The Bar
Open bar: This is a classic choice for many weddings, where guests can order any drink they like, and the bride and groom foot the bill. This option can be expensive, but it’s a great way to ensure that your guests have a good time.
Cash bar: A cash bar is where guests have to pay for their drinks. This is a more budget-friendly option for couples, as they only need to cover the cost of the bartender and any necessary licenses.
Champagne bar: If you’re having a formal wedding or a brunch reception, a champagne bar can be a great way to celebrate. You could serve a variety of sparkling wines and champagne cocktails.
Mocktail bar: If you have guests who don’t drink alcohol or who are designated drivers, consider having a mocktail bar with fun, non-alcoholic drinks. This can be a great way to make sure everyone feels included in the celebration.
Signature drink bar: This is a fun way to personalise your wedding bar, by creating a signature drink that reflects your personalities or wedding theme. You could have one or two signature cocktails available, along with beer and wine.
DIY bar: A DIY bar allows guests to create their own drinks, such as a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar for a morning reception or a DIY margarita bar for an evening event. This can be a fun and interactive way to get guests involved in the festivities.
Remember to check with your venue about their alcohol policies and any necessary permits or licenses. Additionally, you may want to consider hiring a professional bartender or catering company to manage the bar and ensure everything runs smoothly.
