Full Open Bar - Yea or Nay?

Yes. We had a full open bar. Was a non-negotiable for us. We wanted to provide this for our guests.

Beer and wine....serve yourself in bottles.

We will be having a full open bar, but with a $3,000 cap...then it will become a cash bar.

Definitely yes. We got married last Friday. Over 50% of our guests traveled so it was important to us. Guests were very pleased.

Not a drinker neither is my FH and money doesn't grow on trees so not paying for open bar... If we have alcohol at our reception my guests will be paying to drink.

Yes to an open bar! I want my wedding to be a party, so it's a must!

Nope no full bar. Our venue doesn't provide alcohol so we are bringing our own . Will do beer, wine, whiskey , and a couple of custom cocktails !

Nay. We're doing beer/wine and two signature drinks. It's too expensive to have a full open bar... especially for our crowd.

Nay. We can't afford a full open bar so we are probably going to do beer, wine, and maybe a signature drink!

We have 2 kegs of beer and 10 gallons of strawberry wine. The liquor is a cash bar. Alcohol is expensive and we wanted to at least supply some but we also don't want people getting extremely wasted and being a nut on our special day. We included a cash liquor bar for those who like drinks with liquor but also because if someone wants to drink more than what we have provided, that's on them. I hate when someone is at a wedding and all they seem to care about is the free alcohol provided. That isn't the point at all of what a wedding is for. In my opinion.

YEA! I am always in favor of full open bar, or at the least beer and wine. We had a full open bar with 3 different signature drinks, his, hers, and ours. It was so fun and I'm so glad we did!!

We only had White Wine for 🥂.

Thus less liability on our part for those that can’t hold their alcohol or are irresponsible drinks.

We are only having beer, wine, and champagne. No hard alcohol is allowed at our venue.

YES! We did an open bar of beer and wine. Cash bars are for the birds.

Nay.... no alcohol at all, actually, since we're getting married in a dry county.

We wish to do full open bar but a lot of the venues are not allowing outside alcohol so we will have to have a cash bar. limited drinks. After that, guest will have to pay for their own drinks and we do not want that. So my FH and I hunt is still going on.

Yay, but I couldn't afford it, so I just bought a few bottles of liquor, two boxes of wine, and a 1/2 keg and a quarter keg

We're going with a full open bar but I think we'll put a cap at some price point. One side of the family is full of heavier drinkers who would drink the bar dry if given the chance I'm sure!

Nay, we are just doing beer and wine.

Yay! We are doing open bar all night! I think signature cocktails are a fun idea, but our venue did not offer the option of having them
