Full Open Bar - Yea or Nay?

Nay. That's a lot of money and I don't think it's necessary

Everything is "open" (aka, free for guest - tacky AF to charge them for anything at your reception) but we had limited options. Beer, wine, one cocktail.

Nay. We are having a limited bar. With 2 types of keg beer and 2 types of wine. Any hard liquor guests will have to pay for.

Nay. We are doing beer/cider/wine. We will be having two signature cocktails during cocktail hour but that will be the extent of our liquor for the reception

We are doing a full open bar. We will have 4 beer options (Mich Ultra, Blue Moon, Yuengling, Fat Tire), La Marca Prosecco, Kendall Jackson Pinot Grigio, Kendall Jackson Pinot Noir, Kendall Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon, Titos vodka, Maker's Mark bourbon, Bacardi rum, Jose Cuervo Tequila, and Gordon's gin. We didn't go top-shelf, but we did try to splurge a little bit on a couple of upgrades so our guests aren't relegated to well liquor.

Nay!! We are having a limited bar of beer and wine.

Full open bar for us!

YEA!! We are known for hosting great parties with custom cocktails and stuff, so we couldn’t let people down for our wedding!! We can bring in our own alcohol so we’re going all out. 6 kinds of beer, 3/4 types of wine and a menu with 8 cocktails but they can order whatever mixed drink they want with the alcohol there.

Open bar for us, it’s included in our price.

Yes, full open bar! Just nothing top-shelf. It comes with the package we selected! Also with the package is our signature cocktail and table-side service of Merlot and Chardonnay served throughout dinner!

Yea. We are having wine and beer at rehearsal dinner and full open bar with signature drinks at the reception. It was actually the same cost with our venue as just wine and beer so we figured why not.

Full bar. It’s a know your crowd thing and this was important for us.

Open bar definitely but limited to beer and wine plus two signature cocktails. Knowing the people that are coming they are not too big on liquor.

Nay. Full open bar is really expensive! To save money, we're doing beer and wine.

We are having his and her signature cocktails and the rest will be beer and wine

We will have an open bar, but have limited what alcohol is available (no premium spirits), will be having no shots, and during cocktail hour we have limited the drinks to only our signature drinks in order to save some money.

Limited bar. Either beer and wine or drink tickets. Haven't decided yet. Most of the weddings I've been to had tickets and it went over really well. The open bars or consumption bars I've seen have always been abused and ended badly.

Our venue only offers beer, cider, wine, and sangria -- no hard alcohol. But it will be open! We're doing a consumption bar for the day so anything our guests drink, we pay for. I'm excited our venue has that option because a lot of people on FH's side doesn't drink.

We have unlimited beer and wine included with our venue so we included liquor! Our audience loves the Hennessy lol so I wanted liquor.

We'll have 2-3 types of beer, a red wine and a white wine, and then a vodka, a gin, Jack Daniels (FH's choice), and Captain Morgan (my favorite). We also have the option through our caterer to have a custom beer, so we may end up doing that as well.
