How many bartenders?

My venue does 1 bartender for every 100 guests. I will be having 2 bartenders- we invited 167.

I've heard 1 bartender for every 50 people so I think I would go with 2 just to be safe, but that's just me.

I would go with 2. Our vendor told us 1 bartender per 100 people. We are doing 2 bar tenders with 2 bars

Our venue says 1 for every 90 guests. We will have 150 ppl so we got 2

Our venue does 1 bartender for every 100. We had 80 people and upgraded to two bars. I'm glad we did.

If your venue recommends at least 2, do that. My family is full of heavy drinkers, so our venue recommended extra bartenders.

Cocktail hour will be the busiest time. I think 2 would be better but you can get by with 1 for the amount of people.

I've bartended my fair share of weddings and would not feel comfortable being on my own with 91 guests. You will need 2 bartenders to give your guests good service, people get grumpy when they have to wait too long for booze and you're doing a full open bar it will take longer to concoct their drinks. It's worth the money.

I would do two.

You don't want your guests waiting a while at the bar when they can be on the dancefloor. I'd go with two.

I would do two. I feel 1 for close to 100 guests isn't sufficient, and you'd end up with a constant line. If the venue suggested it, I'd definitely do it then.

One per 75 guests plus tables of wine and sig drinks when they enter so there is no backup at the beginning.

We are having 1 bartender; our guest list is no more than 75, with more than half being big drinkers.

Ok thanks everyone! I'll bite the bullet and go for two. Better safe than sorry I guess!

All of my bartenders reviews say they loved how he handled the crowd. So I'm hiring him alone for 100 guest... about 75% will drink.

I would highly highly highly recommend 2.

We are doing two bartenders with two separate bars for 150

Definitely 2! Mine does 4 for 190 guests haha

ETA: 4 for cocktail hour, 2 for reception

We are doing 3 bartenders for 130 people. Now I'm wondering if the bartending lady talked me into more then I needed. Urggggg now I feel like I was ripped off.

Our venue supplied 1 bartender for 50 guests. We had 225 adult guests, so they would only give us 4. We paid for 2 more bartenders, because bar lines can sometimes be ridiculous. We also had servers with trays of white and red wine available, as our guests entered the cocktail hour room, to cut down on the initial lines.
