Sports bar as venue

Christen, on May 19, 2019 at 7:05 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
Need a little advice. I have tossed the idea around in my head of doing our “wedding” at a sports bar. Any have any idea how much that would cost? We already have a child and live together so it is very nontraditional. And I don’t even want to “walk down an aisle” or anything of the sore. I really just want to have a casual party then be like “hey everybody we’re gonna get married real quick”. My dad is ordained and I would be fine with doing it a random day of the week anywhere. However, my fiancé wants his mother and friends to be there. We thought about doing it at home, but our home is nowhere near ready to entertain. Its on the lake but It’s basically under construction. I figured it would be more stressful trying to get everything the ready than it’s worth. So the sports bar — no decorations, no drinks on us, no food provided by us. I just basically want to reserve the whole patio for the night. Want to keep it as cheap and casual as possible. Any ideas?

    I don’t know how much it would cost as that would vary by a lot of factors. But if you invite people to witness a wedding you need to provide food and drinks afterwards. A lot of people do weddings in the private room of a restaurant but most restaurants are going to have a food and beverage minimum. Other casual venues are parks or fire hall or elks lodge type place.

    Good luck finding a sports bar that will let you do that! Are you sure you don't want to postpone? Or find a friend or family member who will host for you? There is non tradition and there is poor ettiquite. This is poor ettiquite.

    It is incredibly rude to not feed your guests, especially if you expect your guests to give you any gifts.

    Regardless of expectation of gifts, you should be hosting your guests. Either you host the guests you would like in attendance at your wedding or you elope with just yourselves.

    I do not think sports bars host weddings. Nor am I sure they will let you hang on the patio all. Ishtar with out money down to buy food. How bout renting a park area and grilling out.
