What to look for in a Wedding Bartending Company for your big day

Why You Need To Hire Out For Wedding Bartending

When it comes to weddings and bartending, there are many schools of thought on the job. Many think that there is no reason to hire a bartender at all. Self-serve is easy enough, and anyone can pour a drink. While this is true, there are others insist that a bartender is a must have. Let's examine why you should hire a bartender for your wedding and the benefits that it can give your wedding.


Your wedding is likely the most significant event in your life to date. You give it a lot of planning, and you want everything to be perfect. You don't want to leave any detail undone, and you want to make sure that everyone at your wedding has a great time. To do this, you'll want to hire a bartender. The bartender can ease your mind by ensuring that only guests that are of legal drinking age are drinking any alcohol.


The bartender can also make sure that the drinks are mixed correctly and that the drinks are served at the right temperature. Keep in mind that if underage persons are drinking, they could leave the party and get into a wreck which could not only mar your special day, you could also be held liable for allowing minors to consume liquor at your event.


This could be a huge liability issue. By hiring wedding bartending services, you can avoid this issue and have a wonderful time knowing that your guests aren't going to be overserved and that minors aren't going to be able to sneak drinks at a self-serve bar situation. Bartenders are trained to avoid overserving. This could be a massive liability if people are being overserved, even if it were a self-serve bar. You don't want to risk that possibility.


Wedding bartenders can also help you to pick out the right amount of alcohol to purchase for your event and help to ensure that everyone is having a great time. Professional bartending services can sit down with you in advance of the event and help you to determine what the best alcohol choices are for your event. Not all wines or spirits go well with all menus so you can pair them up so that they will enhance one another.


When you give over the control of this portion of the wedding, you free up your time for more important details like spending your time with your new spouse. You won't have to stress over your guests getting their drinks in proper fashion. Bartending is more than just pouring drinks; it's also giving your guests an intimate experience at your special event. When you hire out to a wedding bartending service, you're not going to have as much to stress over.


Many wedding venues require that a bartender is certified and insured. This can save you a lot on insurance and costs for your wedding venue. There are also liquor licenses that must be checked to ensure that they are valid and in effect before your big day.


Focusing on what you need will help you to stay within your budget. Many wedding venues will find ways to add up your bill. You can save a lot on your budget by not using their bartender and bring your own in from another company.


There are many wedding services for couples who wish to get married so you can choose your own and save a lot of money by remaining well within your budget. These bartenders are experienced and will help you to avoid any overtures in your budget. This is a great way to save money and spend that extra money on something that is more important to your event.


Many people think that for a big event like a wedding, they will require a full bar with many different types of spirits. The truth of the matter is that if the right brands are purchased, the event can be done with only one or two different brands and by buying in bulk you can offer a full bar at a fraction of the cost.


Weddings are expensive, and it's not unusual for couples to spend $10,000 or more to have the event of a lifetime. Truthfully, it doesn't have to be so overpriced.


By working with a well known renowned wedding bartending service that is certified and licensed as well as insured, you'll be able to focus on other details. One method is to choose a "signature drink." In this plan, you can design the ideal drink to serve to your guests and give it a unique name.


Share a story about how you and your special someone came up with your signature drink. Maybe one of you was making a drink and messed up only to find it was delicious. Maybe it was a special treat you found on an outing. Maybe it just reminds you of him or her. Share the story, it will make it so much more meaningful to your guests, and it will make the event even more special.


Imagine your guests loving the new flavor and the unique name. Everyone will remember your special day fondly, and you could even have some guest cards with the special recipe on it for them if desired.


Personalize your wedding by making it uniquely you. Give yourself plenty of time for planning. Check out the various wedding bartending companies and find out what they have to offer. Maybe they offer some form of entertainment, or perhaps they have some other ideas that may be beneficial to you the happy couple.


Don't ignore ideas from others at this time. You can use all the ideas that you can get and make them uniquely yours. Allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy your day.


Find out ahead of time if the company includes a tip in their services, or if they want you to use a "tip jar." Some couples don't want their guests to feel obligated to give a tip, so they prefer to avoid this method. It's all up to you the happy couple so make sure to find out how the particular venue you're using works and what they prefer.


Another good question to ask is if they set the bar up and take it down for you. Some will, some won't. If they are doing the setup and the takedown, it may cost a bit more, but it may also save you a lot of time and having to hire someone else to set it up and take it down. It may be more economical if they are doing all this work for you.


What about the trash? Will they get rid of the empty bottles/cans for you? This could be a huge boon to your event in that you won't have to deal with a bunch of trash and to have someone else (like the venue) get rid of it all at another cost.


When you focus on what all a wedding bartending company can offer you, you may find that you're saving all the way around by hiring the professionals to do this for you. Truthfully, the less you have to stress about on your huge day the better.


After you have the names of several good companies, it's time to make some phone calls and do some interviews. Find out what they do and don't offer. Find out how much they charge for their services. A certified bartender may cost some money, but it's so worth it in saving you the headache of making sure that no underage kids are drinking, no one is being overserved, and that there is plenty of liability insurance in place.


Find out if they're available on the date you've chosen for your wedding. You may find two great companies, but find that only one is available on the date that you've chosen for your wedding.


Be sure to find out how many bartenders they send out as well. Many will send out at least two so that while one is busy, the other can be focusing on restocking and other needs.


When you're satisfied that you've found the right business for your big day, make sure to call them right away and pay any deposits required so that you can secure their services for your big event. This way, you can get the company that you want. Many will give a cash discount if you pay all of the money up front. Others will give a discount if you have the bill paid off by a certain date. Each company will vary slightly in this policy so be sure to ask. Once you have your venue is chosen and the bartending services in place you'll be able to focus on other details of your wedding with a lot less stress.
