Open Bar Numbers

We just finished buying all the alcohol for our 165 guest wedding next weekend. We are using a bar tending company that gave us our shopping list based on our drink selection and guest count, so we're pretty comfortable with the numbers. They are providing all the ice and garnishes thankfully! We bought:

30 bottles red wine

30 bottles white wine

30 bottles rose

7 24 packs of Stella

7 24 packs of 805

And we're doing 3 signature drinks, an old fashioned, a mojito, and a margarita, and got:

9 liters whiskey

9 liters tequila

5 liters rum

3 bottles triple sec

10 liters club soda

4 bottles simple syrup

5 liters lime juice

2 bottles angostura bitters

And then we got 2 costco sized cases each of coke, diet coke, sprite and la croix.

That's really helpful, thank you!

Congrats, I hope your wedding day is great!!

This is a good thing for you to consider. We had 163. Our venue came with bartenders, but I think they had 4 on staff at 2 different bars. You will probably have a really long line especially at the start of cocktail hour with just one bartender.

We have two bartenders. I was asking about how much alcohol to get. Also, the alcohol is free so I'm not worried about people having to wait in a line. We've been to weddings with the same situation but only one bartender and no one had an issue with it.
