Unique Drink/beverage Bins

Topher, on November 14, 2018 at 10:10 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 5

Hey all,

Ive been looking all over the place for unique ways to hold ice and beers during an outside reception(semi inside, so we could store the beer there, but its the safe problem...only slower). Our venue's bar cooler cant hold all the beer. We are doing only beer and wine and we have a LOT of drinkers....AKA a lot of beer. Ive looked into galvanized tubs, regular "party" tubs, and even inflatable pools. None of them work. either too expensive or too cheap looking. I thought I could essentially find anything that is long, deep, and has some depth to it and just line it with tarp. I dont know...Can anyone give some advice. Rentals seem too expensive. I wanted to spend like 50 bucks max on finding something to HOLD something. such a stupid thing to pay for.

    The only thing I can think of that I’ve seen is a canoe or kayak.

    Could you get a couple of large plastic plant holders and use those?

    At my cousins wedding they used an old bathtub at the venue. It was really rustic looking but it did the job!

    I've seen wheel barrows, kayaks, canoes, and galvanized tubs!
