Which type of bar will you have/have you had at your wedding? Why?


For our minimony we had open bar/bring your own and we will have open bar for our big wedding in March 2021. We want our guest to have a good time and drink as much as they'd like without having to come out of their pockets for anything. Besides, to us, who doesn't like unlimited FREE drinks? lol


What about you guys? I'm eager to see what everyone else is doing or have done for their wedding!

    Lol Is there a reason for the dry bar? Religion? Non drinkers? Just curious

    Two signature drinks, one red and one white wine selection, and then possibly a keg of beer.

    Oh okay understandable. For our minimony we brought a bottle and my dad ended up going out and buying 3 more for everyone. We only had about 30 guests and that included kids. However for our big wedding in March, it's definitely open bar!

    We did an open beer and wine bar. None of our guests were big liquor drinkers, so we didn’t see the need for it. We got married at a vineyard, so we had their wine (which was/is delicious) and a few beer options, both light and craft options.
    Like you, we wanted our guests to enjoy themselves, have some drinks, and celebrate with us without having to spend their own money.

    We had a full open bar for our reception (wine, beer, champagne, premium liquors, most types of cocktails). We had an open bar for our rehearsal dinner as well, but it was limited in that guests could choose from wine, beer, and champagne.

    We’re doing “open bar” but since we’re purchasing the alcohol the selections will be limited 3 beers, 3 white wines, 3 red wines, 3 light liquors & 3 dark liquors

    It's standard in our area to have an open bar (or at the least, limited bar but open in terms of no cash).

    I don't drink, and it was included in our contract, so I didn't pay attention to it in the least.

    But.. yeah, it was an open bar.

    We’re providing a couple of signature drinks (Malibu & coke for him, fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade for me). Probably buy either a pony keg or some cases of beer. The venue provides soda, tea & water. I’ll probably buy some jugs of coffee from dunkin doughnuts for the coffee drinkers.

    Did you have a bartender? Or did people make their own drinks?

    Ya. No wine. Firefighters (at least his group) are beer drinkers. That’s why we’re probably gonna provide a variety of different beers. My fiancé is kind of a beer snob lol! He also loves Malibu & Coke. I don’t drink at all so the strawberry lemonade, tea & coffee will be perfect.
