Nice to have

Nice to have, although I would prefer a sparkling wine vs true champagne.

Nice to have-- we have a champagne toast-- appetizers follow right after, then dinner!

Need to have. For pre and post celebration haha.

Nice to have. We aren’t doing it, no one really loved champagne anyways and it would take a huge amount of the budget to do it!

Nice to have.

Nice to have. We are at a vineyard and therefore have to use their wine only. They don't have "champagne" but use a sparkling white as their champagne equivalent for toasts and such.

Need to have! I love champagne! If we don't end up getting it for all the tables we will at least have some for us to toast with during the speeches and for cake cutting.

Nice to have. We will have some getting ready, but are skipping the big toast.

Nice to have. We aren't having any at the ceremony however there will be a chilled bottle waiting for us when we get to the hotel

We’re having a dry wedding so we will likely have old fashioned soda or sparkling cider for the toasts/ speeches!

Nice to have. Our crowd is mainly beer/liquor drinkers so cutting champagne was an easy decision and will save a little on our budget. People can just toast with whatever they have.

Nice to have. This was an option at our open bar but, since we skipped toasts, we did not have the servers pass these to guests unless they specifically requested a glass.

Nice to have. There are other options for a toast if you don't want champagne.

Nice to have. My family is country so we aren't big on champagne.

It was important to me to have bubbles available, but we didn’t do a champagne toast. Rather, just had Prosecco at the bar for those wanting to feel festive !

Nice to have, but not in the budget! We’re still doing toasts, but guests can toast with whatever drink they have at hand. We’re only providing wine and beer (and of course non-alcoholic options).

Definitely nice to have. We are having it since our venue was having a promotion when we booked, that if we booked by the end of that month, they would throw in the champagne toast for all of our guests at no charge! I really wanted it anyway and we were on the fence about it, especially since we’re having a six hour open bar, so it’s nice that we booked when we did so it was included!
