Passed around cocktails during cocktail hour?

Yes I asked my venue if they can have mimosas ready to be served right after the ceremony as guest walk over to the cocktail hour and they have no problem doing that.

Great idea!!! We asked for servers to go around with red and white wine at the beginning of the cocktail hour to alleviate the initial bar rush. Great thinking

That's how my wedding venue does it! They'll also have the ingredients available at the bar should anyone want one after the cocktail hour.

I think that sounds lovely! Something like mimosas would be perfect!

Pre making a batch of the cocktails and ready to serve is smart thinking.

I love this idea! Our venue did this with champagne at our tasting and we thought it was really classy and it definitely helped the bar line!

That is a great idea, and yes, I have seen it at events. Go for it. :-)

We will always have a tray of beer and one with red and white wine to pass as the guest head into cocktail hour. Same thing if there is a sig drink. We pass those throughout the whole cocktail hour. Sometimes the bar will be open before the ceremony, (not often at all) and guest can get a drink. But, also think about guests with glasses in their hand during their ceremony.

Passing the trays takes pressure off the bartenders and the guests are happy to get a drink without a wait.

I've bartenders weddings where this was done and it worked out amazing. You'll have to check with your venue but as long as bartenders can still check ID it should be fine and possible.

Sounds like a great idea!;
