The Bar

My only real rules here is no self serve alcohol and you must choose a bartender from the list below. Once the bartenders leave, there will be no more alcohol served in the barn. You are welcome to drink in the house, on patio off house, in tents/campers etc. at your leisure. 

What we provide/have:

  • Clear plastic cups, both wine style and larger mix drink style

  • Coffee cups

  • Insurance policy in your name (through eventhelper.com if you want to take a look at it. )

  • All ice for both rehearsal dinner night and wedding day

  • Bar napkins

  • Drink stirrers

  • Liquor pourers 

  • Bar towels

  • Ice scoops

  • Wine and Beer Bottle Openers

  • 3  large drink dispensers 

  • Water (served from dispenser)

  • Coffee

  • Tea

  • Creamer (half and half)

  • Sugar

What you provide:

  • All alcohol (beer,wine, liquor) as desired 

  • Mixers

  • Bring beer at room temperature. I will ice down the day of the wedding. Gets cold extremely quickly when covered in ice. 

  • Bartenders: Typically bring 2. see list below (have them arrive at least 15 minutes prior to ceremony)

  • Coolers (2-3) to hold any beer left on ice at the end of the night. 

  • Garnishes (lemons, limes, maraschino cherries, etc)

Recommendations for stocking the bar. 

  • Limit beer/cider selection to 2-4 kinds. Anything more than that typically ends with running out of one and having a lot left of another. 

  • I suggest bottles or cans of beer. Kegs are fine but usually create more waste as you most likely don’t have a way to use leftover beer in the keg after the wedding. We do not have keg pumps.

  • Stick to basics for liquor: whiskey, vodka, rum, spiced rum, gin, tequila (1 brand of each)

  • Common mixers: coke, diet, 7up, ginger ale, club soda, tonic water, cranberry juice, iced tea (for some crowds)

  • For wine. Usually one red and one white one. Or alternatively a dry red. A dry white. A sweet red. A sweet white. 

  • See attached alcohol use document for what other weddings have ended up using. 

  • Biggest tip: Keep it simple!
