When choosing a wedding venue, many couples overlook the importance of an on-site bar. However, a venue with a well-stocked bar and experienced bartenders can elevate the entire wedding experience. Here’s why choosing a venue with a full bar setup and liquor license is a decision that will benefit your celebration in countless ways.
Variety of Options for Every Taste
A venue with its own bar offers the flexibility to stock a wide selection of drinks. From classic beers and seltzers to house and premium wines, call cocktails, and even top-shelf spirits, a fully stocked bar ensures that every guest finds a beverage they’ll love. Variety is key at weddings, where diverse groups of people come together to celebrate. When you book a venue without a full bar set up, you have to make decisions of what your guests may want to drink and how much. This is a lot of pressure because if you guess wrong…you may waste a lot of money on things no one wants or you could run out of certain choices as well. With options across the board, you can please everyone from the craft beer enthusiast to the cocktail connoisseur.
The Importance of a Liquor License
Selecting a venue with a liquor license means you won’t have to navigate the legalities or fees of bringing in outside alcohol, which can save time, stress, and money. Venues with a liquor license are already familiar with local regulations, ensuring smooth operations throughout the event. You also won’t have to worry about any last-minute complications with permits or external vendors. Plus, you have the peace of mind that all legal aspects of alcohol service are being handled by experienced professionals.
Experienced Bartenders and Efficient Bar Flow
An in-house bar comes with the added benefit of experienced bartenders who know the venue layout and flow of events. Skilled bartenders do more than pour drinks; they’re experts in maintaining an enjoyable, efficient bar atmosphere. Their knowledge of popular cocktails, along with the ability to handle high volumes, ensures that guests won’t be waiting too long for a drink. An efficient bar setup, combined with knowledgeable staff, allows for seamless service that keeps guests happy and the reception lively.
