    Easy Vendor for Beverages

    Working with Ally at Gateway was great - they provided liquor, wine, ice, beer, mixers, and drop off/pickup including coolers. They also have an unopened bottle buyback which was amazing after the wedding was done. If you need to provide alcohol and beverages to your guests, Gateway is great low effort option. Thank you Ally!

    Thank you so much, Samantha! It was a pleasure to work with you and the Tenth Ward team for your big day. Congratulations!

    Made my wedding so fun!

    Gateway Liquors made providing alcohol to my wedding smooth as can be. Ally was great at providing selection choices and amounts needed for my wedding guest count. They provided all the ice, coolers, and delivery service needed. I didn't have to worry about a thing! I highly recommend using them for any alcohol wedding needs.

    Just a great stress free experience.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Gateway liquors and how they performed on my daughter’s wedding day. Ally Lind was wonderful to work with, everything was handled exactly as we asked and the prices were very reasonable. Delivery and pick up were performed right on time. I highly recommend Gateway for any wedding in our area. Thanks Ally!

    Great experience!

    Ally was great to work with to create the alcohol package for our wedding! She was so quick to respond and follow up on any questions we had! We can see why Gateway Liquors is a preferred vendor for our venue. The delivery and pickup of the alcohol went seamlessly and getting the refund for unopened bottles was super easy! Would highly recommend!

    Wedding at Springfield

    Working with Gateway was easily one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning process. All of my guests said what a great variety we had and we know we got a great price. Ally was incredible to work with and made it so stress free. We absolutely recommend them!

    Wonderful service!

    Ally at Gateway Liquors was so helpful in planning the alcohol needed for my daughter’s wedding at Springfield Manor. She knew exactly how much to order for a large group of 220 people. They delivered and picked up the unopened items at the end of the night. We received a refund for the unopened items. It was a smooth and easy process from beginning to end. I highly recommend Gateway Liquors for your event!

    Stress-free Bar Planning

    Gateway Liquors made our bar planning stress-free by using our guest count to suggest the combinations for our beverage order. They worked with our preferences and our signature drinks to tweak our list while using their own expertise. Gateway even had a mixer package that took the guesswork out of event planning for the bar. They offer a delivery and pickup/ buy back policy that helped it be a seamless process.

    Absolutely perfect

    Gateway Liquors was incredibly helpful! They are very responsive and were really great at helping me customize my bar menu, especially since I'm not a big drinker myself and know very little about the different brands. Everything turned out absolutely perfect!

    Highly recommend

    Gateway Liquors provided the alcohol for our wedding. Rachel and the team were great to work with. Rachel was very responsive and helped us figure out the right amount to buy for our guest count. It is also nice to have the option to sell back any unopened alcohol. The bartenders had all of the supplies for signature drinks, etc. Gateway delivered the alcohol on time and picked it up at the end of the night. We were very pleased and would highly recommend Gateway Liquors for your wedding alcohol provider!

    Amazing service on short notice

    I had planned to provide the bar service myself but ran out of time with other priorities. I called Gateway with less than two weeks notice and they were amazing. They provided everything I asked for with very reasonable pricing. Their wedding coordinator, Rachel, worked with me over the Christmas holiday to finalize plans even though she was out of the office. She was responsive and treated me like a valued customer.

    The day of coordination was seamless. Delivery and pick-up were on time and exactly what I ordered. I never even knew it was happening. It gave me the freedom to enjoy the day.

    Thank you Rachel and Gateway!

    My husband and I used Gateway Liquors to purchase all the beer, wine and liquor for our wedding in August. Rachel did a wonderful job answering all my questions and getting me information and pricing in a timely manner and they were very flexible and worked with us when we had to postpone our wedding from May to August due to COVID.

    Outdoor wedding in October

    They made the process of ordering alcohol for our wedding so easy! They guided us to purchase the perfect amount with a little bit left over. I would much rather have this, than running out! I thought we were going to need a lot more than what we bought! To top it off, their pricing is extremely fair! Thank you Gateway Liquors!

    Made Our Life Easier

    Our daughter's wedding was held at Springfield Manor in Thurmont, MD on 10/5/19. This venue allows you to bring in your own liquor but there are some rules and specific logistics associated with doing this. One of the venue's preferred liquor vendors is Gateway Liquors also located in Thurmont. Although we met with more than one liquor store in the area to compare experience, pricing, and stock availability, we decided to go with Gateway because we were so impressed with Amber Seiss - I believe she is the owner, and she is a "sharp cookie!" From the moment my husband and I first sat down with Amber to discuss our daughter's wedding, and the Open Bar we planned to host for 200 guests, we knew we were going to be in good hands. Amber is confident, knowledgeable, knows the liquor business inside and out, and knows Springfield Manor inside and out. She made it easy to create our itemized liquor order, she offered us the best pricing available, she was very helpful in suggesting certain quantities/brands based on all her wedding reception experience, and she also made it easy because she provided all the bar condiments, ice, sodas, and mixers, too. A One-stop shop which made for a lot less stress! Another nice feature, at the end of the reception, any unopened and non-chilled beer, wine and liquor was returnable to Gateway for Amber to re-inventory and then refund to our credit card. This process took less than a week after the event. Our original liquor tab was $5700, but we ended up receiving a $709 refund which was great! I highly recommend you meet with Amber if you are allowed to provide your own liquor at your reception!

    Excellent experience

    The folks at Gateway were great! The whole process was seamless from beginning to end. Amber knew exactly what we needed and in what quantities based on our guest numbers. They delivered to the venue, cleaned up and took it away without me even thinking about it! It’s like having little “bar elves” that handle everything when you aren’t looking!! They’re great!

    Such a pleasure to work with!

    Amber, I cannot thank you enough for how easy you made the planning process, how flexible you were and how patient you were. Additionally, when some items ran out, Gateway RUSHED to bring us more late in the evening and was gracious enough to pick up all left overs and refund the cost. I will certainly only work with Gateway for my alcohol needs in Frederick County! Thanks again for everything Amber!

    More than just a vendor

    Not only did Gateway meet all our needs professionally, efficiently and creatively, they were so much fun to work with! Working with Ally was like having a friend by my side— reassuring, competent, patient, and always going the extra mile.

    Awesome experience!

    Gateway Liquors was wonderful to work with! Great communication and friendly staff - loved working with Ally. We did run out of some alcohol for our signature drinks but that is probably normal.

    Easy to work with!

    Gateway supplied gin, wine, and beer for our October wedding and made the entire process clear and extremely easy to do. They handled the delivery to our venue and coordinated directly with the venue to do so, so once we had selected the alcohol we wanted (which they were very helpful with), we were able to just trust that everything was there on the day of! Really appreciated how easy Gateway made the process.
