    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!

    Don't hesitate. Highly recommend utilizing their expertise

    Ally could not have been easier and more professional to work with. And Gateway is a preferred vendor by our caterer and venue so I felt confident working with them. Ally's experience was helpful to determine how much beer, wine, liquor to get. They are totally flexible to give pricing on any brands you want to use and can als make recommendations. They will coordinate with caterer on ice, cups, mixers, sodas. They deliver to your venue and pickup any unused purchases at the end of the evening for a quickly processed refund on unused alcohol. Can make any changes up until a month before wedding day. I would highly recommend them. Pricing is great and offers an opportunity to keep alcohol costs down.

    Great experience

    Ally was extremely helpful for us when we were figuring out what we needed for drinks for our wedding reception. She took the time to get to know our needs and guest needs. She made recommendations and insight for us since we have never ordered alcohol for an event of such size before. I think the pricing was fair, and they had everything we requested, including garnishes and mixers. They dropped-off in a quick and timely manner, and came back to pick up what we didn't open and refunded us quickly. It was also nice that they were familiar with our venue. They were super easy to work with and I highly recommend!

    Fantastic & easy to work with

    Gateway made things extremely easy for us during our October 2024 wedding. They supplied all our alcohol/liquor, as well as ingredients for a special mixed drink for our Harry Potter theme. The most convenient thing was that they did a drop off and pick up, then refunded us for everything that was unopened. My wife and I didn’t have to touch a thing!

    Easy to work with and Great Selection!

    We had such a wonderful and stress-free experience working with Gateway to provide drinks for our wedding reception! Ally was super responsive and helpful, and always quick to email us back when we asked questions about the different liquors available. Really, they could not have made things easier and our guests really enjoyed their offerings at our wedding!! They provided all our liquor and mixers (including lemon and lime wedges!!) and really went above and beyond to help us have a truly magical day. We cannot recommend them enough!!

    Easy Vendor for Beverages

    Working with Ally at Gateway was great - they provided liquor, wine, ice, beer, mixers, and drop off/pickup including coolers. They also have an unopened bottle buyback which was amazing after the wedding was done. If you need to provide alcohol and beverages to your guests, Gateway is great low effort option. Thank you Ally!

    I have nothing but good things to say about Gateway liquors and how they performed on my daughter’s wedding day. Ally Lind was wonderful to work with, everything was handled exactly as we asked and the prices were very reasonable. Delivery and pick up were performed right on time. I highly recommend Gateway for any wedding in our area. Thanks Ally!

    Wonderful service!

    Ally at Gateway Liquors was so helpful in planning the alcohol needed for my daughter’s wedding at Springfield Manor. She knew exactly how much to order for a large group of 220 people. They delivered and picked up the unopened items at the end of the night. We received a refund for the unopened items. It was a smooth and easy process from beginning to end. I highly recommend Gateway Liquors for your event!

    Stress-free Bar Planning

    Gateway Liquors made our bar planning stress-free by using our guest count to suggest the combinations for our beverage order. They worked with our preferences and our signature drinks to tweak our list while using their own expertise. Gateway even had a mixer package that took the guesswork out of event planning for the bar. They offer a delivery and pickup/ buy back policy that helped it be a seamless process.

    Gateway Liquors was incredibly helpful! They are very responsive and were really great at helping me customize my bar menu, especially since I'm not a big drinker myself and know very little about the different brands. Everything turned out absolutely perfect!

    My husband and I used Gateway Liquors to purchase all the beer, wine and liquor for our wedding in August. Rachel did a wonderful job answering all my questions and getting me information and pricing in a timely manner and they were very flexible and worked with us when we had to postpone our wedding from May to August due to COVID.

    Amazing service on short notice

    I had planned to provide the bar service myself but ran out of time with other priorities. I called Gateway with less than two weeks notice and they were amazing. They provided everything I asked for with very reasonable pricing. Their wedding coordinator, Rachel, worked with me over the Christmas holiday to finalize plans even though she was out of the office. She was responsive and treated me like a valued customer.

    The day of coordination was seamless. Delivery and pick-up were on time and exactly what I ordered. I never even knew it was happening. It gave me the freedom to enjoy the day.

    Thank you Rachel and Gateway!

    Outdoor wedding in October

    They made the process of ordering alcohol for our wedding so easy! They guided us to purchase the perfect amount with a little bit left over. I would much rather have this, than running out! I thought we were going to need a lot more than what we bought! To top it off, their pricing is extremely fair! Thank you Gateway Liquors!

    Made Our Life Easier

    Our daughter's wedding was held at Springfield Manor in Thurmont, MD on 10/5/19. This venue allows you to bring in your own liquor but there are some rules and specific logistics associated with doing this. One of the venue's preferred liquor vendors is Gateway Liquors also located in Thurmont. Although we met with more than one liquor store in the area to compare experience, pricing, and stock availability, we decided to go with Gateway because we were so impressed with Amber Seiss - I believe she is the owner, and she is a "sharp cookie!" From the moment my husband and I first sat down with Amber to discuss our daughter's wedding, and the Open Bar we planned to host for 200 guests, we knew we were going to be in good hands. Amber is confident, knowledgeable, knows the liquor business inside and out, and knows Springfield Manor inside and out. She made it easy to create our itemized liquor order, she offered us the best pricing available, she was very helpful in suggesting certain quantities/brands based on all her wedding reception experience, and she also made it easy because she provided all the bar condiments, ice, sodas, and mixers, too. A One-stop shop which made for a lot less stress! Another nice feature, at the end of the reception, any unopened and non-chilled beer, wine and liquor was returnable to Gateway for Amber to re-inventory and then refund to our credit card. This process took less than a week after the event. Our original liquor tab was $5700, but we ended up receiving a $709 refund which was great! I highly recommend you meet with Amber if you are allowed to provide your own liquor at your reception!

    Such a pleasure to work with!

    Amber, I cannot thank you enough for how easy you made the planning process, how flexible you were and how patient you were. Additionally, when some items ran out, Gateway RUSHED to bring us more late in the evening and was gracious enough to pick up all left overs and refund the cost. I will certainly only work with Gateway for my alcohol needs in Frederick County! Thanks again for everything Amber!

    Excellent experience

    The folks at Gateway were great! The whole process was seamless from beginning to end. Amber knew exactly what we needed and in what quantities based on our guest numbers. They delivered to the venue, cleaned up and took it away without me even thinking about it! It’s like having little “bar elves” that handle everything when you aren’t looking!! They’re great!

    Awesome experience!

    Gateway Liquors was wonderful to work with! Great communication and friendly staff - loved working with Ally. We did run out of some alcohol for our signature drinks but that is probably normal.

    easy and efficient

    Ally and the Gateway team were very efficient and organized. They were easy to communicate with, prompt responses. Set up, delivery and refund all went smoothly. I would highly recommend them for your next party.

    Easy to work with!

    Gateway supplied gin, wine, and beer for our October wedding and made the entire process clear and extremely easy to do. They handled the delivery to our venue and coordinated directly with the venue to do so, so once we had selected the alcohol we wanted (which they were very helpful with), we were able to just trust that everything was there on the day of! Really appreciated how easy Gateway made the process.
