Buying your own alcohol

It all depends on the time of day too, I was discussing this with my sister yesterday and planning on just buying however much she bought. Then we remembered her wedding started at 5pm and mine starts at noon lol ETA- to clarify just in case it's not obvious, people tend to drink more around 5pm than they do at noon.

I found a bartender, all together we paid 610 and that included her serving the drinks, open bar, bringing everything, and we buy everything. We are having 2 signature drinks, beer, diet tea, a punch, diet spirit, spirit, and Pepsi or coke. The bar menu was 360, the other fee was for her services. I found her on thumbtack.

This is a quote that i was given for 100 people, some of the beer seems high to me but they do returns and deliver so i dont need to worry about that. My Bartender is $30 an hour so it ended up being about $300 with the insurance

Erika your wedding is so close!! Lol. Those last two quotes are really good. I already have a bartender (came with the venue), I'm looking to spend no more than 500-600 dollars on the alcohol
