💡 Pro Tips

  • • Wedding Formula: 2 drinks per guest during cocktail hour, plus 1 drink per hour after.
  • • Buyback policy: Purchase through retailers (like BevMo or Total Wine) that accept returns on unopened cases and wine bottles.
  • • Staffing rule of thumb: 1 bartender per 50 guests for a full bar, 1 per 75 for beer & wine.
