We found an amazing venue, everything was perfect from the location to the price. Once it came down to talking business, we discussed catering and decorations that were all included in the price, but the venue only does a cash bar, and will not allow BYOB. We were given the option to purchase kegs through the venue, and we will do that but that means only beer will be free while liquor and wine will have to be paid for.
What are y'alls thoughts on a cash bar?
The prices they gave weren't to bad. $3 for well drinks, $5 for call, and $7 for premium.
ETA: We have not signed a contract with the venue, we were fully ready to but once we found out about the cash bar we told them FH and I would need to talk about this issue first and get back with them.
Then I decided to consult the wonderful world of wedding wire forums on the opinions of a cash bar. I'm awaiting a call back from the venue to discuss a consumption bar, if that isn't an option, we will look elsewhere.
