The Ultimate Luxury Wedding Bar Checklist: How to Plan the Perfect Cocktail Hour

 

Choose your alcohol and the type of drink you’d like to serve

If you have a cocktail that your guest absolutely must have at your wedding, you can either find a bartender who specializes in that drink or you can buy the ingredients and make it yourself. Most often, people choose to serve wine and champagne. Champagne is the traditional wedding drink, but you can also have wine if you prefer.

Choose a liquor that guests would be happy to find in a drink. Whiskey, rum, and vodka are all good choices. Gin is a bit more unusual, but some guests will be pleased to find it in their cocktail.

 

Decide on the food that will be available during your cocktail hour

When you’re planning your cocktail hour, you’ll want to decide which foods you want to serve. You want foods that people can eat while they’re standing up.

Finger foods are always a good choice. You don’t want to have foods that are messy. You want your guests to be able to continue talking to each other while they eat.

 

Hire a bartender and additional staff for your cocktail hour

A bartender is useful for more than just serving drinks. They can also help you make sure your bar is stocked. If you have a lot of champagne glasses to go around, the bartender can keep an eye on them and make sure they’re refilled when necessary.

Your bartender will also help you keep track of the alcohol being consumed. It’s a good idea to have champagne at every table. It’s also a good idea to have a variety of other drinks at every table. Be sure to have one person responsible for keeping track of the alcohol being consumed. You’ll want to know how much of each drink is being drunk so you’ll know when to replace it.
