When it comes to your wedding bar, you have two main options: A "based on consumption" bar charges you for what’s actually consumed and is great if you have guests who are not big drinkers, offering potential savings, while a "hosted bar" provides a flat rate for unlimited drinks, giving you convenience and is great if your guests love their cocktails. 🍸

Based on Consumption Bar:
Pay-As-You-Go Bar: In this option, you pay only for the drinks your guests actually consume. Before the wedding, you set a budget for the bar—say $3,000. Once your guests' drinks reach that amount, you can choose to either add more money (like $750) or switch to a cash bar where guests pay for their own drinks.

This option is budget-friendly because it keeps costs flexible and avoids surprises. It’s great if many of your guests aren’t heavy drinkers, making an open bar less cost-effective. However, if your guests drink a lot and you want to host the bar all night, this could potentially cost more than an open bar package. The final cost depends on how much your guests indulge.

Hosted (Open) Bar: This option involves paying a set rate per guest for unlimited drinks. It’s a great choice if most of your guests will be drinking, and you want to ensure they don’t pay for anything.

An open bar provides a luxury experience, perfect for a carefree and festive atmosphere. The fixed cost gives you peace of mind, knowing exactly what you’ll spend on the bar upfront.

How to Decide Which Option is Best for Your Wedding:

1. Be realistic about your budget—what can you truly afford?
2. Look at your guest list and estimate who will drink heavily versus those who might only have one or two drinks.
3. Compare the per-drink cost with Pay-As-You-Go and run some estimates to see which option fits your budget better.

Having guests fly in or roadtrip it to your wedding is such an honor and as the host, you want to make it as easy for them to navigate their travels and the region as possible:

• Must Have: A Wedding Website! This is your guests go-to spot for access to information and will be the simplest way for you to communicate the necessary info to them.

• Your printed invitation will have your venue info and general travel info, but it should direct your guests to your website for more detailed information.

• These are the things that should be included on your wedding website:

• What is the parking situation at the venue

• Airport and local public transportation options and schedule if applicable.

• Accommodation recommendations or room block information

• Local restaurant recommendations

• Local attractions and activities

• Last but not least, if possible provide shuttle service from the recommended accommodations to your ceremony and reception for your out-of-town guests

Searching for the ideal wedding venue can be overwhelming, but asking the right questions makes it easier! 🌟 Start with these key questions to ensure your special day is just as you’ve dreamed. There are still some more questions you might want to ask, but these will give you a great start!

06/03/2024

Let's say you already have a wedding planner (might be us? 😉). What vendors should you look for next? The very first vendors you should secure is your venue and then caterer. After that, book your key vendors in order of level of importance to you: photographer, videographer, florist, and DJ or band 🎉. (Most of the time we book the florist after photo/video and DJ/band because we begin the design process after the key elements are booked.

There are so many wonderful vendors out there, and we can help you find the ones that perfectly match your style & budget. 💍Chat with us or contact us through our website! 📞

A venue coordinator is responsible for all aspects related to the venue, venue staff and possibly catering.

A wedding coordinator is responsible for your vision, working with your vendor team and implementing your personal plans and decor that are not directly related to the venue. It is really like your wedding coordinator is your brain for the day.

Many planning companies, like ours, offer a variety of packages ranging from month of coordination (also known as event management or day of coordination) to full planning. These packages may vary between planning companies, however, at the core of what all packages include is ensuring the wedding day runs smoothly. Sounds simple, right? The reality is your planner will spend anywhere from 30 to 40 hours on a month of coordination package and 150+ hours for full planning- around an average of 12 hours straight on your wedding day alone! Let’s briefly breakdown the high-level difference between a month of coordination package and a full set planning package and what a planner might be responsible for in each of these offerings.

Having His and Hers signature cocktail is a lot of fun and personalizes your reception, but it will most likely increase the bar tab, which becomes quite an expense if you are hosting the bar. One way to have that signature piece that is cute, fun, and a huge hit with guests is to have signature treats or candy. The candy offers a personalized touch, a sweet treat, something everyone can participate in regardless of age, makes a cute display, and becomes a party favor. Buy prepacked or bulk and pack yourself in cellophane bags, slap on a "his" sticker or the "hers" sticker, and you are good to go. Make a sign like a signature cocktail sign and display the candies on a platter on the welcome table.
