The Wedding Bar: Consumption vs Open Bar
Show Notes

Whether you are having alcohol or not, there are decisions to make when it comes to beverages at your wedding. The kinds of bars we touch on are:

  • Hourly per person (open or limited bar)  - by the hour or a package rate 
  • Hourly per person (open or limited bar)
  • Hosted bars aka Consumption Bars (open or limited bar)
  • Cash Bar (open or limited bar)
  • Signature or specialty drink Bar (can be by the gallon or per pour)
  • Wine Service

We also tackle the questions that you should be asking your caterer, bar service or venue food & beverage manager.
