Great Alcohol & Service for a Great Price

Joe and his team were wonderful to work with for our wedding. They helped us to curate a special alcohol list that included all local-DC area distilleries and breweries. For a wine, they allowed us to come in and do a tasting to finalize our selections and Joe was extremely helpful in talking quantities and helping us stay within our price range. Pick up and drop off was easy and flexible and cannot speak highly enough of them.

Excellent Alcohol Distributer

Joe at Schneider's was very accommodating and very knowledgeable about possible wines to chose. We had a wonderful tasting with him to pick out wines and champagne and he was able to find many choices in our price range. I found the prices very competitive. They were very flexible with delivery and pickup and the people were all extremely pleasant to deal with.

Great service and value!

Schneider's really exceeded our expectations! We kept hearing the same names of where we should get our liquor for the wedding but they should really be a top contender. Joe was so great to work with. He was very flexible and communicative and gave us a great tasting. He curated a great inventory for us and was able to order very specific types of liquor we were looking for.

The best variety ever!!

My now husband and I were in a bit of a tough spot getting alcohol at the last minute for our wedding week (we had an Indian American wedding). We are SO thankful we went with Schneider’s; they saved the day!! Schneider’s worked within our price range to find us the best wine and liquor for our wedding events. For someone who does not even like chardonnay, the chardonnay we served was SO good that we still pick it up from Schneider's. They also recommended amazing cognac for our his/hers cocktail and a great Japanese whiskey- a huge hit for our guests! They made sure delivery and pickup was easy and were very professional throughout the whole process. We have since frequented our neighborhood store for many of the things they recommended for our wedding.

Last minute wedding order - no problem!

We went with Schneider's with a week left before the wedding. We thought going the Total Wine + Costco route would be OK, but in the end, we ditched Costco.
Schneider's was GREAT. Great prices, no pressure, and very good at offering alternatives to liquors that I thought I wanted. They also introduced us to new brands that we ended up using at the wedding.
We went with them just for liquor, as we had already locked down wine and beer with Total Wine. They took back unopened bottles for a tiny 3% fee. We did NOT use them for delivery, but know that they offer delivery and pick up.
Great customer service and knowledgable management. We are annoyed that we didn't start working with them earlier but it all worked out wonderfully.

Great service, great value, great wine!

We loved using Schneiders for our wedding. After we initially reached out, Elyse invited us in for a free wine tasting to select which we wanted to serve and to discuss liquor/beer options. She knew we also wanted to have a whiskey bar with special options for our guests to taste, so she reached out whenever they received something interesting we might like to use. Loved that they came back after the wedding to pick up and refund us for anything that wasn't opened/chilled. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic Service and Value

This is the 2nd time I’ve used Schneider’s for a major party, and they do not disappoint! Elyse is tremendously helpful and always recommens the best products at the best value, for any price point. They are responsive, flexible, and refund any un-used liquor (with a 3% restocking fee). Highly recommend!

Effortless coordination of alcohol delivery for our wedding. Was very responsive to changes in the quantity and they organized the late night pickup. A very enjoyable experience working with them.

Tristan, Johnny and the whole team at Schneider's are great, and this is your one stop shop for wedding wine/beer/liquor! I asked for a wedding wine line-up, gave my tasting profile and budget, and Tristan was able to set up a tasting at a moments notice, with a variety of options that really matched our needs. Their dedication to customer service shines through and it doesn't cost a fortune! We will definitely be using Schneider's for our future celebrations.

Joe was SO easy to work with and I felt like he was the only vendor where you actual get what you pay for - no "wedding" mark up added. He had us over to the shop to try some wines, gave us suggestions (and budget friendly ones) when we didn't know what we wanted and was so easy and flexible in changing our order when we had new ideas.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
