Smores, Grey Goose, or Tableside wine service?

Hey! So we are getting our responses back and are looking at basically 30-50 folks who won't be attending . As a result, in order to make our F & B minimum, we need to add something else to our food bill : ) Which of these would you prefer? A S'mores Bar Top Shelf Liquor or Tableside wine pour....

Hey! So we are getting our responses back and are looking at basically 30-50 folks who won't be attending . As a result, in order to make our F & B minimum, we need to add something else to our food bill : )

Which of these would you prefer?

A S'mores Bar

Top Shelf Liquor or

Tableside wine pour.

For context we are having 4 hot passed appetizers during cocktail hour with a mid tier bar (and signature cocktail) for the rest of the night. For dinner we have a formal plated appetizer, salad, a duet entree, and of course, cake! Our venue also threw in late night snacks a few weeks ago! Leaning towards top shelf liquor or wine because there is plenty of food...what are your thoughts fellow brides?

    We had a choice between top shelf liquor and s'mores too! We chose the s'mores bar. The non-top shelf liquor that was being offered were brands we like so we didn't see the point in upgrading especially since not every guest is a big drinker.

    I vote s’mores! My next choice would be top shelf liquor but in my experience, rarely anyone cares what kind of liquor is there as long as they can get drunk for free 😂

    I don't care for top shelf, I'd like the tableside wine or smores.

    1. I want this issue! haha

    2. I would say a wine pour or the smores. I feel like my guests would like the wine pour more and it goes with out family style italian dinner...but it's dependent on your crowd. I do think that a smores bar offers a small wow factor that would add to the day!

    Tableside wine for sure! We budgeted extra for that. I think it's so nice at weddings during dinner.

    I would be super excited for the Smores bar but I am a S'mores fiend, disproportionately to the rest of the world lol. If you're already having cake as well as late night snacks, it's probably overkill to have another dessert. I would probably go with the top shelf liquor - you wouldn't actually be getting anything extra with the wine table service, correct? IMO it's better to have people getting up and going to the bar at weddings anyway, because it creates more opportunity for mingling, and often people will stop by the dance floor on their way back when otherwise they might just remain at the table all night.

    Definitely wine. There is plenty food to go around and the wine really adds to the guest experience and makes it more convenient to not have to get up to grab a drink.

    I would go for the Smores because everyone can enjoy that. You may have guests that cant drink at all for varying reasons they may not want to disclose (or disclose yet - my cousin found out she was pregnant a month before her brother's wedding and decided to wait until after it was over to tell anyone but her husband so as not to steal any of her new SIL's spotlight) and it could be more awkward for them to be the only one at their table not taking part in the tableside service (my cousin used the bar as a way to discreetly get the white grape juice they had for the kids in a wine glass so no one knew she wasnt drinking - the bartender was apparently excited to be part of her "plot").

    We were very particular about our guest list ! We wanted everyone to be able to bring a plus one...turns out few people even have any options for a plus one , and are coming alone....which works just fine for us : )

    Hi Brandi! Welcome to the WeddingWire Community! Smiley ring I personally would go with the s'more's bar since I love desserts! I also think the concept is really unique! Have you decided on which option you plan to add?

    I prefer tito's to grey personally... could they do a mini desert for each person instead of the s'mores? I would want something sweet that wouldn't be so messy... and the cake. Smiley smile
