Providing own alcohol for wedding... help!

So, one of the main perks of our venue is that we're able to supply our own alcohol, which is a huge costs savings. However, we're not sure how much we need to have. We're having: Liquor: vodka (4 bottles), rum (2 regular, 1 spiced), whiskey (2), vermouth, scotch, gin, triple sec, amaretto, and...

So, one of the main perks of our venue is that we're able to supply our own alcohol, which is a huge costs savings. However, we're not sure how much we need to have.

We're having:

Liquor: vodka (4 bottles), rum (2 regular, 1 spiced), whiskey (2), vermouth, scotch, gin, triple sec, amaretto, and peach schnapps (those last 3 basically just because they're some of my favorites...) The venue provides all the mixers/soda, etc.

Wine: 1 case of white (not sure what kind(s) yet), 1 case of red (not sure what kind(s) yet)

Beer: We're thinking 3 cases of Yuengling, 2 cases of Miller Lite, 1 case of Natty Boh (we're from Baltimore... it's a Baltimore thing...) plus 1 case of something a little nicer since my dad has made comments about our "low brow" selection.

We're having about 100 people, 80ish who are over 21. We're also having an after party for whoever wants to come (probably no more than 30-40 people, if that). Does this sound like enough/enough variety?

    Agree with Robert on having a plan in case things run out. I went to a wedding a few years ago where about 120 guests kicked all five kegs during the cocktail hour. (It was in Maine, and Mainers do love their beer.) Fortunately, the groom's uncle had come in his truck, and was able to make a beer run and came back with a bunch of cases.

    (Unfortunately, the uncle didn't bring back any more bottled waters, so people were TRASHED. Like, the groom and one of the guys went joyriding on a golf cart, using an iPhone as a flashlight TRASHED. I did shots of floor tequila and barfed a rainbow of fruit flavors.)

    @Allison - I'm curious - what venue are you using?

    Shannon, we're actually getting married in Lancaster, PA at a place called Riverdale Manor. It's sort of half-way for each of our families.
