Frequently Asked Questions
How much alcohol do I need for a 100-person wedding?
For a 5-hour reception with 70% of guests drinking: about 150 beer bottles (6-7 cases), 30 wine bottles, and 15 liquor bottles for a full bar. Add a case of champagne for the toast.
Is it cheaper to do beer and wine only?
Yes. A beer-and-wine-only bar is typically 30-40% cheaper than a full bar. It also simplifies service and reduces the number of supplies needed.
How many champagne bottles for a toast?
You get about 6 champagne flutes from one 750mL bottle. For 100 guests, plan for 17-18 bottles to ensure everyone gets a glass for the toast.
