The venue that we're almost definitely going with requires that we use their wine (it's a vineyard) and that we supply any other alcohol; it was also recommended that we provide soda instead of using their catering for that. No problem. We are just trying to estimate costs for this and are having trouble figuring out how much we'll need of each.
We're going to invite around 250 people and assume that closer to 200 will come. Maybe 30-50 won't drink alcohol or will have very little. The rest will drink average to heavily.
We want to have a variety of beers (so no kegs) and probably 3-4 kinds of soda. Champagne for the toast. Has anyone had a reception around this size or have guesses as to how many cases of beer and cases of soda we'll need? Thanks!
