Open bar??

Sounds about right.

An open bar is part of our wedding package with out venue. The cost is added to the final per person cost.

$2800 sounds about right, especially if your venue requires that you purchase the alcohol yourself.

We did a modified open bar and it was 3 signature drinks, 2 signature shots, three wines, and two beers. It was $650 for 65 people

It really depends on what is included in your package.

The lowest quote that I got for 175 people was $3,800 including licensing, insurance, sales tax and gratuity in a LCOL area.

That's a great deal (depending on your venue), I personally feel like beer and wine is just fine as opposed to a full open bar but for 170 guests that is worth it for open bar in my eyes.

Our open bar is $40 per person for 160ish people plus taxes which totals to around $6800. We are opting for a consumption bar since I have several family members that don't drink, and several others that don't drink a whole lot.

I would be ecstatic to pay $2800 for the bar lol

I wouldn't dream of not having an open bar. Can't tell you how much it's costing because it's built into the PP price.

We've set aside about $1500 for the open bar for 30 people. I have no idea how much it will cost because it's consumption-based, so I aimed high lol.

Our open bar is $28.50 per person for their top shelf, and for anyone under 21 it is $10.50 per person for unlimited pop/juice/virgin mixed drinks etc

We are doing open consumption and plan to put aside $1500 for the bat tab

Ours was going to be $3,800 for 100 guests...full open bar. No way we could swing that so we went with their drink pkg instead...$7/pp. Huge difference.

Ours is $40 pp for 3 hours

We had open bar but the venue only allowed consumption. Open bar tab was $4,300 for 120 adults. $700 in corkage fees for the wine we brought and $2,100 towards 3 signature cocktails. We served alcohol from before ceremony until the end of the reception. 7 1/2 hours.

We have just under 100 people and for a wine/beer/2 signature drinks bar we've set aside $3000...living in the north east!

We had 89 people our final tab was 1900, way better than we expected

We have not had our wedding, yet, but we are planning a modified open bar. We will have beer, wine, and 2 signature drinks.

Our bar will be beer, wine and soda with a sig drink. It is priced at $39.95 plus 9% liquor tax...(we are in Maryland) so for 150 guests it will be around $5500.....I would love $2800. Some sort of bar is needed.

Ours is $3250 for 130 people. It was $25 per adult for open bar and we also paid an unlimited soda package for about 14 people for $10 per person.

This looks about right. Our caterer is providing the a full bar (liquor, wine, beer) for $18.00 per person - $1800 for 100 people so for 175 people it would be $3150

Our open bar is $15 pp for 4 hours for 100 people. So around $1,500 before factoring in tax and gratuity.

Edit: Includes beer, wine, and premium liquor.
