Brunch wedding: mimosas or wine & beer? Or all?

Update:

The brunch includes like bacon, sausage, eggs (omelet bar), roasted potatoes, ham, grits, biscuits & jam, then dessert of cake/cupcakes & Krispy Kreme donuts!

Agreed, do all or just the wine & beer

I agree with pp, do all 3

I'd do all of them, if you can. I really like mimosas, but would have one or two and then switch to wine. Most men that I know would definitely prefer a beer over a mimosa.

We do not have the option for a consumption bar, but we are responsible for providing the alcohol that their servers/bartenders dispense, so we would get the leftover from the day back, if there was any! And the reception is till 4pm.

I completely agree with you all! I don't personally really drink* at all, so I wasn't really sure if people enjoyed wine or beer with brunch! But I would much rather have the option there than not! Plus, we are having an after party with our bridal party, so we'll just use the leftovers to have a great night! lol

I am also having a brunch wedding but on a Saturday, we are doing mimosas, sangrias or bellinis, beer and wine. When I go to brunches during the summer my fiance and I always get bottomless mimosas so I am all for them but yea..some people do not like mimosas so having other options is always a plus.

I think one of the coolest things I have seen at a brunch wedding (and your menu is to DIE for) was a prosecco bar; the BT'S poured the prosecco, and then there was like a little 'condiment' bar with juices and fruit to garnish the drinks with....people LOVED it.

What about a bloody mary bar in addition to the mimosas?

I would include beer and wine as well. I just attended my friend's baby shower this past sunday (11am) and there was a full bar.

Is straight prosecco/champagne/sparkling wine also an option? If so I think you're likely fine as is if not I'd add that or beer and wine

I love the idea of a prosecco bar @ Celia! That sounds awesome! And thanks, I am pretty stoked for the menu! ha! But I talked to FH on lunch and he gave in to my wish for beer, wine & a mimosa bar! Woo! Thanks for your help guys!

Hello fellow bruncher!! We are serving brunch as well (except at dinner time) and we have a mimosa and Bloody Mary bar. We opted to also have a full bar as our venue only charged us $3 more/person to have it all. I would at least provide beer and wine to give guests some different options! Some people may not be big on champagne and if that's all you provide they are SOL. I went to a wedding recently where I did not like the limited liquor choice and I did not have fun. Maybe that's just me though.

We're doing a Saturday Brunch time doing full open bar with mimosas and bloody mary's being our welcome drinks when guests first arrive. I would definitely suggest adding beer and wine (or bloody mary's) just as another option for guests.

I would do something like a bloody mary and mimosa bar, or have the option of mimosas, wine, and beer.

I think mimosas are fine, it sounds like you're serving breakfast foods and I just can't see someone drinking a beer with breakfast lol. Plus it's a brunch wedding, people probably won't have more than one or two drinks so you don't need to go nuts. but this is just my personal opinion on what i've seen at brunch weddings, I def don't think people will be expecting beer and wine for a noon wedding on a sunday.

Yay for more brunch weddings! We are doing the same thing, ceremony at 11, breakfast/brunch at 12:15/12:30ish and the reception ends at 4pm.

We are doing mimosas, hibiscus (which is champagne and cranberry juice, according to our venue coordinator lol), straight champagne (including brut, extra dry, pink & peach moscato) and white wine (chardonnay, sav blanc and pinot).

@Monica, I agree about the beer statement, that is why we aren't doing beer, seems weird to me to have beer with breakfast foods. We are having eggs, bacon, sausage, country potatoes, fruit salad, lox/bagels and a waffle bar. And lots of danishes/croissants/muffins for cocktail hour.

That's the thing with a brunch wedding. What other alcohol other than mimosas go with breakfast food? I'm not a mimosa person either so I would just take the champagne. But I don't see beer going with a breakfast menu though. Or wine. But someone will always ask. "Is there beer?"

I personally don't think you need the wine and beer, but I think that only mimosas may not be enough, because honestly I don't know many men who like them, and I can only have one or two without heartburn kicking my butt. Sooo, I am #teambloodymary in addition to the mimosas.

I'm also having a Saturday brunch wedding. Ceremony is at 10:30. Our venue only offers a mimosa/bloody mary package for brunch. Everyone has seemed fine with this option so far, but that might be because it's so early in the day.
