Our tips: Book your bar and service staff

Most couples planning a wedding often have this one vital question from guests: “Will it be an open bar?” Now while everyone enjoys a good lively celebration, bar options are again down to your preference as a couple and the formality of your wedding.

Some venues may offer a full bar service and waitering staff as part of their wedding package. This simplifies your planning process as they will ensure everything about the bar and service is in place according to your needs. If your chosen venue does not have that in place you will need to select an external bar and staff hire company.

Information your bar and staff hire company will need to compile an accurate quote:

• Wedding date and venue
• Size of your wedding – how many guests are attending
• Start and end time and perhaps a rough timeline of the day (all other details can be discussed and confirmed closer to the date)
• Does the venue have a bar structure or should it be hired in? If so, for how many areas?
• Is it a cocktail event or a sit-down dinner?
• Do you need staff to assist with set-up and strike too?
• Any other requests you may have

Considering the many options from cocktail lounges to wine options, to mixologists – and many more, you can have fun with these choices. There are also plenty of arrangements you might not be aware of so communication between the venue and suppliers is critical to have your day go off problem-free, with everything that is needed on hand.
