Bar Wedding
what is a good cost for a bar at a wedding?
I am getting married in Sept. and I am planning on having an open bar. My cousin said that she would charge $350 for the drinks, and she would bar tend for free. She does this for a living so I trust her abilities with that, but when I told my fiance about the price he said it was too high, when I told my mother the price she said it seemed a little low. We are expecting about 100 people to be at the wedding, but not all will be drinking. Could you please help me with this.
That's a great price for an open bar but it does seem a little low for your guest count. Speak with your cousin about the types of drinks being offered. If there are really snazzy drinks, then they will be super popular and the alcohol used to make them will run out fast. So I suggest that you have a signature drink like a Cosmo, Martini, or something of that nature that matches your wedding; along with something simple like beer, wine, vodka, etc.
Or another route you could take would be having "mocktails" or virgin/nonalcoholic cocktails. Here's a link http://www.scribd.com/doc/3473217/Mocktails-The-best-alcoholfree-cocktails . This could save on the alcohol costs but still create a nice atmosphere. Hey...you never have to tell your guests that they are nonalcoholic.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
