Wedding Bar Tips
For some couples, the wedding bar can be a topic of confusion or even a touchy subject depending on a families budget and stance on alcohol. Be prepared to talk about it while planning your big day, and make decisions ahead of time to help make the event go smoothly.Make a Plan
Do you have a few family members who are famous for drinking a little too much and dragging the party down? Make plans ahead of time for what you can do to keep that from happening. Whether you decide on a cash bar and only feature a few highlighted drinks. You can also keep the bar open for a specific number of hours if you want to do an open bar. This should help keep guests from overindulging for a long period of time.Provide Plenty of Food & Drinks
If you really want to keep the alcohol limited, or at least counteract it a bit, you can make sure to provide snacks after the reception. Some brides choose fun foods, like pizza, while others may choose an appetizer. Full bellies can help slow the rate of alcohol absorption into the system.Stock a Full Wedding Bar
This is only a suggested type and amount of alcohol that you should provide at your wedding, but you'll want to work with your wedding coordinator to make sure that you are planning accordingly.
Wine
You can't go wrong when you have twelve bottles of red and twelve bottles of white. Obviously, when you have a winery wedding at the Lake of the Ozarks, wine is going to be the BEST option. We have many varieties for you to choose from, so come do a wine tasting at our Missouri winery, and work with our wedding coordinator to choose the best.Beer
You'll want to have three different types of beer on hand for your guests, and a good recomendation is three cases of light, two cases of domestic, and one case of imports. At Seven Springs Winery, we do have some beer on tap for those with alternative tastes, so don't forget to ask our wedding coordinator at the Lake of the Ozarks if you are interested in beer at your wedding.Other Liquor
While many of your guests may stick to the popular wine and beer, you'll want to have a few others on hand if you want to have a full bar. You can't go wrong with two liters of bourbon, two liters of sctoch, five liters of vodka, one liter of tequila, two liters of rum, and one liter of gin. Don't forget sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and triple sec!Mixers & Garnish
Finally, you'll want a few things to mix with the alcohol. A good total to go by is thirty-six cans of Coke, twenty-four Diet Coke, twelve cans of sprite, twelve cans of tonic, twelve cans of ginger ale, and twelve cans of club soda. You'll also want to make sure you have plenty of lemons, limes, oranges, olives, and cherries. You can also consider other popular choices like cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine, sour mix, and bloody mary mixes.The Best Wedding Venue at the Lake of the Ozarks
