Open Bar

An open bar is a simple, stress free option that allows your guests to enjoy drinks throughout the event without worrying about individual costs. With an open bar, pricing is set per person based on your final guest count, giving you a predictable total and peace of mind on your wedding day. This option is ideal for couples who want a smooth, uninterrupted guest experience and prefer to know their bar cost upfront while offering generous hospitality.

On-Consumption Bar

An on-consumption bar gives you flexibility and control while still hosting your guests. You decide on a predetermined dollar amount, and drinks are served and tracked as they are ordered. Once that limit is reached, you may choose to extend the tab or transition to a cash bar. This option works well for couples who want to offer hosted drinks without committing to a full open bar, while only paying for what is actually consumed.

Individual Drink Prices:

Sodas = $1
Domestic Draft Beer = $4
House Wine = $5
Bottled Beer = $5
Seltzers = $5

House Liquor = $6

Cash Bar

A cash bar allows guests to purchase their own drinks directly from the bar menu. This option includes house-selected beer, wine, seltzers, and liquor, while keeping the bar cost minimal for the host. A minimum bar amount applies, and any shortfall is covered by the contract holder. A cash bar can be a practical choice for couples looking to limit bar expenses while still providing professional service and a welcoming atmosphere.
