Posted in Planning 21

We are planning on having a couple of different choices of hosted cocktails for our beach themed wedding reception. We know we want to offer sea breezes and sex on the beaches as hosted cocktails. We are debated on adding a third, possibly a Long Island iced tea or a sangria. We will be purchasing them pre mixed in gallons, we are told each gallon has approximately 35-40 servings. How many gallons do you think we need for approximately 100 guests? People will be able to purchase any other drink they may want at the bar. We will be talking about this With our planner, I was just hoping to get an idea before going into our meeting. Thank you

I would go with Sangria as many people love wine. Maybe do Sea breeze, Margarita and with red or white Sangria. I think Sangria would be more popular than champagne punch.

If you can afford a 4th drink, I would offer a fourth drink. Maybe a dark and stormy or something not as fruity with a different alcohol base.

I would also agree 40 servings per gallon sounds like small serving sizes, so people will drink more. I would probably assume you need 2-3 gallons of each drink per hour at the minimum. If you cannot add on additional gallons during the ceremony, then I would honestly air on the side of offering more gallons per hour.
