Open bar - excluding shots?

Ours won't serve shots, unless me or the groom orders it.

I have never been to an open bar where shots where allowed. Those always had to be paid for if someone wanted one. I think maybe because it was pure alcohol.

I would ask the venue what the policy for that would be to see if they even allow it.

My venue doesn't even allow shots; I don't think I've ever been to a wedding with shots. I think it's some sort of liability issue, but I'm not sure. It's totally fine not to have them

Our venue won't even allow them.

I think that's fine. My bartender actually has a note in the contract that they don't allow them.

Yes!
