Coffee Bar

Absolutely not necessary. We are not having one. There will be a lot more people drinking alcohol than coffee😊

Same. For some reason the coffee bar is very close to our alcohol budget and it's just not worth it to me if the majority will not drink it. Thank you for your input

Definitely not a necessity.

I have never seen or heard of this at a wedding so I am going to say no.

Not necessary but if you're a coffee lover that would be cool

I've only ever heard of them in place of (or in addition to) alcohol at brunch weddings, or for laaaate night receptions as sort of an end-of-the-night treat. For sure not a necessity.

Definitely not necessary. Our package came with water, sodas, tea and coffee anyway.

Definitely not a necessity. We’re having one because it comes with our catering package.

I don't think it's necessary. It is tradition for coffee to be available when the cake is served but it's personal preference if you think you should have it. My FH and I have opted to do a hot chocolate and coffee bar at our wedding, but we are doing it ourselves and not through our caterer. We're doing it b/c my FSIL got married last year and she didn't have coffee at her wedding and my FH's grandmother is still complaining about it. We just don't want to hear about it for the next how-ever many years from his grandma., lol. If you're for tradition and if it's in your budget, I'd say go for it. But if you don't think it's necessary, there's nothing wrong with not having it. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where it was offered.

It's not at all! I've only seen it at one wedding. We had one, but it was very affordable and my whole family drinks coffee with dessert so we wanted it for sure.

Definitely not! We’re having one just because it’s included in the package, but the past 2 weddings I’ve attended I’ve barely seen anyone actually want the coffee when offered to them with cake. Most of the time I’ll see someone at my table say yes and then just leave it there and go to the open bar instead

There’s a distinction between a coffee BAR and coffee service. An elaborate bar with options is absolutely not necessary. But I do think the option for a cup of coffee is fairly standard with dessert, and is helpful after people have been drinking, for them to mellow out & sober up before heading home. (I’ve never been to a wedding where coffee wasn’t served/available after dinner, but I also don’t think I’ve been to a wedding with a coffee bar type set up)

Not necessary. I personally wouldn't even consider a coffee or hot chocolate bar unless it was a winter wedding. Any non-winter wedding I've been to that had a coffee bar, most people skipped.

Totally not necessary
