How To Handle Your Wedding Bar Situation

 800-698-2322 / 508-473-8929

When planning a wedding, we all know that the expenses pile up. The dresses, tuxedos, great limousine service (see www.exceptionallimos.com), reception hall – all of these add up in the end. But if you are on the fence about having a wedding bar, here are some tips that may help you.

Having a cocktail hour is a great idea as this is when your guests arrive, start to mingle with the other guests and grab some delicious appetizers. This is a great way to get the guests ready to start the wedding reception and get them in the partying mood.

Some people choose to have a complimentary signature cocktail drink. This could range from many different types, so make sure to ask your planner about what is available. This cocktail is usually chosen for their wedding and is a representation of something the bride and groom both like or a symbol of their relationship (http://goo.gl/4Uncu).

Having a soft bar (which includes beer, wine, soda and juice) can save you anywhere from $6-$10. Yes, the hard liquor is always a fan favorite, but it is your wedding and if you choose to eliminate that, there are other drinks that your guests can choose to consume.

Lastly, if you choose to have the full bar, house brands are a cheaper option than top shelf liquor. You figure after a few drinks, who’s going to really care about what they are drinking? This can also save you anywhere from $5-$20 per bottle and your guests will still be able to have their mixed drinks and enjoy the big bash.

As mentioned above, call us at Exceptional Limousines today at 800-698-2322 and we can work with you on affording our great limousine service for your special day!

  1. Great article - nice to see that you guys provide the champagne on board.

    It's such a nice luxury touch to have, when you can sit back in the leather seats and relax with a glass of bubbly!

    Thanks,
