Hi all,

Getting down to the wire and need to decide on bartenders. They suggest 1 bartender per 75 guests. We're having a full open bar (beer/wine/liquor) for 91 adults (including me and FH). I'd say about 85 of these adults will be drinking. The venue just sent us the final bill and they entered 2 bartenders. They said we could drop it down to 1, but "just be aware your guests will have to wait for service."

Wanted to get your input on this. I've only been to weddings with 150 people, so they obviously had more than one bartender on hand.

Can you tell me how many guests you had/are having at your wedding and how many bartenders? I don't want there to be a long bar line of course, but if 1 bartender will be sufficient, I'd rather not spend the extra money on a second.

    If the price difference isn't too drastic, I would do two just to be safe!
