    Make your lives easier and hire them

    We loved working with Ace to provide the alcohol for our event. Mary took our budget and created two custom proposals for us, based on what we wanted. We ended up going with two signature drinks, beer and wine (the non alcoholic beverages were provided by our caterer). Ace takes the guesswork out of it: They provide the amount needed for your number of guests, which is very helpful. They then deliver everything at a specified time and pick up whatever isn't used at the end of the night, so you are ultimately only paying for what is used and a delivery fee. We loved not having to worry about this -- we've been to weddings where there's a...

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND using ACE for your Wedding Beverage Needs

    ACE was amazing and so great in servicing all of our wedding needs! From our initial outreach to the final pick up, the ACE team was attentive and responsive and helped make our wedding a huge hit! They helped provide a detailed estimate, coordinated with our venue on delivery and provided timely pickup the night of our wedding. I loved that they help deliver, pickup and the best part is that they will collect any of the closed/unused bottles at the end and adjust your invoice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND using ACE and a special shout out to Alina and Will for helping us with everything!

    SUPER easy and great variety!

    ACE provided drinks for our wedding. It was absolutely fabulous! Their business model is brilliant. It was super easy and smooth for ACE to drop off the alcohol to our venue and pick up unused bottles after. (The easiest part of our wedding planning, in fact!) We had plenty of drinks for guests, didn't run out of anything, and an easy and smooth champagne toast. Drinks were dropped off early and pickup was thorough and smooth. Guests loved our variety of drinks and everyone had a lot of options they loved. Wedding planning is complicated but ordering drinks with ACE was super easy and such a big win in the planning process! Thank you all so much for all of your help!

    Recommend for wedding reception

    We used Ace based on the recommendation of our amazing caterer (Corcoran).
    We interviewed 3 beverage companies and Ace was hands down the best.
    Easy to communicate our wishes (husband wanted a very specific Rye and we had a fun welcome drink), customize the menu (mostly local beer) according to our taste and budget, and the best- they pick up after the event!
    Ace has worked a lot of events at Capitol View with our caterer- they just knew what to do. Can’t stress how important it was that our vendor team clicked. And they did!
    💯 recommend!

    Easiest open bar service!

    Ace beverage was a recommendation to us from our wedding venue, Toolbox, and we are so glad that we used them for our open bar! This was literally the easiest thing to book because they were familiar with our space and have previously worked with our caterer, Spilled Milk, so we really didn't have to plan to much with them to get our open bar set up. The best part about their service -- they will only charge you for the opened bottles and the ones that have been chilled, while everything else will be picked up and returned to them. We overestimated the amount of alcohol we needed for our open bar, but it ended up being fine because a good amount was returned.

    Overall, great service and so easy to coordinate!

    Outstanding

    Ace did our alcohol and it was completely hassle-free - emailed them with a headcount, suggested a few refinements and additions, put down a deposit, and paid for what got used night of. They coordinated with our planner/caterer to completely handle pick up and dropoff and we didn't even have to think about it day-of. Strongly recommend doing this and leaving it to the professionals instead of giving yourself the work of a few Costco trips.

    Great Experience

    Ace Beverage was great. They were very helpful in helping us choose a variety of beer, wine and liquor. And they were kind enough to accommodate a special wine order. We would definitely work with them again.

    Highly Recommend

    My husband and I used ACE for our wedding, and wow, we were impressed. Romain and the rest of the ACE team were so helpful in picking out the bar for our wedding, not to mention, incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They're clearly experts and made great recommendations for wine, champagne and beer! We also loved that they bought back what our guests didn't drink. Overall, we'd highly recommend folks use ACE for ANY event.

    Much less hassle than Costco!

    Our venue had recommended Ace and all the caterers we chatted with also had worked with Ace, which was a good sign. They ask for about a month lead up time and have a helpful worksheet to figure out a good estimate. We ended up returning nearly half the alcohol and only ended up paying a bit more than our initial deposit. Highly recommend!

    Amazing knowledge, super responsive, and made everything super convenient!

    ACE Beverage, and specifically Romain Cartoux, was wonderful to work with on our recent April 2019 wedding. Romain was incredibly knowledgeable about wines, giving us perfect recommendations to complement our menus. He was also able to advise on choices and quantities for the entire beverage order to ensure a successful event based on our guest count and time of year. After the helpful and responsive planning process, ACE took care of the execution completely – dropping off the order to the venue directly, and then picking up all unopened bottles from the venue and automatically reimbursing our account. We highly recommend this professional and convenient service for anyone in the DC-area!

    Super AWESOME to work with!

    ACE was exceptional to work with to provide alcohol for our wedding reception at Top of the Town. Prices were awesome and they had a great variety.

    Romain was a great communicator. He provided a proposal right away, managed all of the logistics to bring the alcohol to our wedding site, and picked-up any unopened bottles. They issued the refund right away for anything that wasn't consumed.

    We'd use ACE Beverage again as they were super easy to work with! Made our wedding day a breeze and uncomplicated! Couldn't ask for a better wedding vendor!

    The only way to order drinks for a wedding or party!

    We're so glad we heard about Ace Beverage from a caterer. Fortunately most venues in DC allow outside alcohol and other vendors, but Ace makes everything so easy and foolproof. We went to the store to talk to them about wine choices at various price points and other options. On the day of the wedding, everything we ordered was delivered and set up with the caterers' staff, and then leftovers picked up at the end of the night. This was by far one of the best values of our wedding and I highly recommend for any wedding or party in the DC area.

    I worked with Ace Beverage to provision all of our alcohol for the full bar at our wedding. Ace made everything very easy; they recommend the amount of alcohol and soft drinks we needed for our guests based on our preferences, delivered, and picked up the remaining alcohol at the end of the night. They sourced all of the international beers and liquor that we requested and were very responsive. We were even able to go to the store and sample the wines that they recommended for a discounted price. I would highly recommend Ace!

    Our caterer recommended ACE Beverage, and we chose them from three quotes we solicited. They were very easy to work with, very knowledgeable. They have a handy online form to fill out with the details of the event and what you are thinking for the bar. They made great recommendations for best value liquor, beer, and wine. Their initial quantities and budget seemed high, but their explanation was that if everyone pretty much drank only wine, only beer, or only liquor, there’d be enough for everyone. Obviously, that wouldn’t happen, but it could and we’d be covered.

    Another quote we got had significantly lower quantities, but they were trying to stay within our stated budget (we didn’t...

    We bought the alcohol for our reception through ACE Beverage and they were so incredibly easy to work with! I went into the store only a week and a half in advance so I was worried about the timeline but I was promptly directed to Mary who was so helpful! She drafted up a proposal on the spot, helped me make some adjustments based on our guests, and I walked out with it mostly taken care of! I ended up purchasing the wine we were planning on serving and when I didn't love the white, I called Mary and she immediately offered a similarly priced white wine that we ended up loving!! The peace of mind with knowing we...

    Great alcohol vendor!

    Super easy process for purchasing alcohol for weddings. Ace Beverage sent us a brief questionnaire and answered all of our questions promptly and clearly. On the day of, they timely delivered the alcohol to the venue and picked up the left over unopened and unchilled bottles the day after with no problems. We got back a good chunk of money with their take back program!

    Working with Ace Beverages made having a great bar for our wedding guests so easy. Their exceptionally fair prices, expertise in making sure you have the right quantity and variation of beverages for your guests, reliability, and flexibility in handling last-minute updates reduced so much wedding planning stress.

    Big savings: time, money, stress!

    We used Ace Beverage for the alcohol at our wedding and the process went very smoothly. They are pros! Using Ace saved us a ton of time and money. I strongly recommend using Ace instead of trying to handle the alcohol yourself. Since they buy back anything unopened/unchilled, you don't have to worry about buying the right amount.

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding

    Ace Beverage was recommended to us by a vendor. We were planning on purchasing our own alcohol, but gosh we are so glad we went with them. The greatest thing about them is they accept unopened alcohol after the wedding, so it was such a peace of mind for us going into the wedding knowing that we can buy enough alcohol for our guests without any concerns about having leftovers. They also provided really good suggestions (our guests loved our selections!) and delivered all of our alcohol to the venue beforehand for a very reasonable price. They are definitely the way to go for alcohol for weddings. They know what they are doing and are so easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

    DAR Constitution Hall Wedding

    My wife and I chose Ace Beverage as our alcohol vendor for our wedding at DAR Constitution Hall and they were absolutely magnificent. Not only were they prompt and professional with reasonable prices but they also took back our unopened boxes of wine, beer, and liquor so we were not charged for them.

    Truly 5/5 stars, would recommend to anyone in the area.

    ACE was a pleasure to work with. Romain was very responsive and helped us put together a robust alcohol order for our 150 person wedding. Plus, at the end of the night, they will buy back all of the unopened bottles, which takes a lot of the stress out of your order. They're great!

    FANTASTIC to work with, HIGHLY recommend!

    ACE Beverage was fantastic to work with! On the recommendation of our wedding coordinator (Liz Shaeffer of Liz & Co Events), we reached out to ACE Beverage/Romain Cartoux about 2 months before our wedding. We considered purchasing our reception alcohol from Costco, but the thought of transporting it back/forth between Costco/apartment/venue seemed daunting and time consuming. We are SO GLAD we went with ACE Beverage! Romain was fantastic to work with! We provided Romain with our preferences, number of guests, and he proposed a beverage order (e.g. for X number of guests, Y bottles of gin..wine). We had the opportunity to review the list and make adjustments. On our wedding day, ACE Beverage dropped off the alcohol at our...

    Fantastic!

    We used ACE Beverage for our wedding on the recommendation of our venue coordinator (Top of the Town). Apparently, the reason everyone chooses them is that they deliver everything to your venue and then come back to the venue the next day and pick up unopened bottles and credit your account. We worked with Romain. He was a great help with determining the quantities and types of alcohol we needed for the number and type of guests we had. They were willing to create any mood we wanted with the drinks, but we kept it pretty basic. The contract process was easy, Romain was responsive to our questions. We were surprised about how much we were credited, and we...

    Best Drinks Ever

    Best Drinks Ever. Our caterer recommended Ace Beverage, and I’m so glad she did. The beverages, the service, the cocktails! They answered all our questions tailored the drinks menu to our every need. Made sure our signature cocktails were made perfectly. The bartenders were really professional and really attentive. Book these guys now before their schedule fills up. Ask for Romain Cartoux or Joe Riley.

    Ace Beverages was super easy to work with and had a ton of selection. We really wanted to and were able to keep all the options local-based! They were super affordable, especially compared to what some caterers charge for liquor/beer. We did open bar and never ran out. They were also super flexible with when they could drop off and pick up at the reception venue. Highly recommend Ace Beverages!!
