Pritchett Wedding 2025

Gateway Liquors was excellent to work with throughout our wedding planning and provided great service and delivery the day of. Ally was very helpful and guided us through the ordering and buyback process, which is a great benefit they offer. We weren't worried about over or understocking. They have a really good selection of well liquor, beer, and wine for good prices, and can bring in specialty alcohol if needed. We would absolutely recommend them for any and all weddings and events.

Highly Recommend for Your Beverage Needs!

Our catering coordinator from Celebrations Catering, Meg, actually recommended Gateway Liquors for our wedding beverage needs, and I'm so grateful that she did! We had a wonderful experience with them from start to finish! Everyone at our wedding LOVED the drinks we had at our wedding, from beer, cider, and wine to cocktails and mocktails, all thanks to Gateway! They were very organized and easy to work with, and did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. Also want to mention that a HUGE positive to using Gateway is that they'll pick up unopened beverages after the wedding and issue a refund for them, which we were very grateful for! We had a wonderful experience with Gateway, and would recommend them to anyone!

Book now for your wedding!

Highly recommend!! My husband and I had such a smooth process working with Gateway Liquors and we did not have to worry about a thing. The prices were so affordable for fantastic service. They even helped us create recipes for our signature cocktail drinks served which everyone loved. I recommend couples consider overstocking supply for signature cocktails if you serve them at our wedding—cocktails and liquor seem to be the most popular items with guests these days! Ally was our coordinator and made sure we had everything we needed for what we wanted. She was very helpful and super responsive throughout the process. I am so happy we were referred to Gateway. You will not regret working with them— book now!

Perfect Supplier For Wedding

I used Gateway Liquors for providing the alcohol and mixers for my daughter's wedding and was so happy I did. Ally was easy to work with and helped me find the perfect selections of wines and offerings. Ally was flexible, attentive, and very responsive. Gateway delivered everything to our site in the exact time frame of our schedule and picked up unopened extras for a refund. A treat to work with!

Gateway Liquors, Thurmont MD

We worked with Ally at Gateway Liquors for our daughter’s wedding in August, and the experience was fantastic. Ally was a pleasure to work with—friendly, responsive, and professional. All beverages were delivered on time, and everything that needed to be returned was picked up promptly, with a credit issued to us. They made the whole process incredibly simple and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Gateway liquors... the best!!

Gateway liquors are amazing!! From beginning to end, they were so helpful and wonderful. At first,I was a little apprehensive about getting all the liquor for our Sons wedding reception sent to the vendor, but after meeting with Ally Lind, my apprehension melted away. She knows her stuff!! She asked all the right questions to get all the answers to make our selection of alcohol for the wedding perfect. We couldn't have been happier. Gateway liquors is a small store with a big selection, and the prices are great. We spent so much less money buying the alcohol from them, then we would have any other way. If you are considering using Gateway liquors for your venue, don't hesitate, you won't be sorry, I promise you that. ask for Ally, she's amazing!!

Gateway for liquor/wine for May 2025 wedding!

We hired Gateway to provide liquor and wine for our wedding in May 2025 and were extremely happy with our experience. Ally at Gateway was responsive and reliable throughout the planning process, and ensured that our contract reflected our preferences. We told Gateway the signature cocktails we wanted to offer guests, and they made all the calculations to determine the correct quantities of liquor, mixers, and garnishes -- and provided all of it directly to our venue. We did not have to worry about delivery or pick up - it all happened seamlessly! Gateway also offered the opportunity to buy back any unused bottles after the event, which helped us cut costs and was an offer we could not find with other liquor vendors. Everything ran very smoothly the day of our event. Even better, Gateway has strong relationships with other wedding vendors in the Frederick area, making communication and coordination even more efficient. We would highly recommend Gateway as a bar vendor for your wedding or event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
