Bar Dilemma

Definitely the beer & wine option

Make sure you have plenty of nonalcoholic options for those who don't drink beer/wine.

Definitely the beer & wine option! Bar caps are super problematic because what would happen if you reach the cap? Beer & wine only is the much better option in this case!

Beer and wine option hands down!

Unless this person is yourself or your FH, don't change your plans because of them! Is it possible to do the beer & wine option and if people want something else, they can just pay for it themselves? If this person so desperately needs a certain mixed drink, I'm sure they'd be fine paying for one (or two).

Don't change your plans for one person but don't make any guest open their wallet either

The beer and wine options sounds like your best. It’s a good price and you don’t have to worry about your bar shutting down mid-reception.

Update: Our venue allows a Bourbon Bar that's open the entire event. We are going to add that to three signature drinks (one wine based and one alcohol based). The venue serves these the entire night. Soft Drinks etc are included in our food package. Our family said they are fine with this and we will send out a survey with the signature drink choices. This comes out to be way cheaper than Premium Open Bar and a few dollars cheaper than Beer and Wine.

Thank You for your input!

That sounds awesome!
