Of course, not every event has to have a bar. For some events, it would actually be inappropriate to serve alcohol. The point here is to address the confusion on what the difference between an open vs a cash bar is. An open bar can be just beer and wine, but the guests do not pay. A cash bar can be a full bar, but the guests are responsible for the purchase of the alcohol. Just like at a real bar or a restaurant bar. Capiche?

Cheers to all my planners who have figured this out! I can make life so much easier for you, while making you look even better! 😘

When food, music, and booze are the things that people remember from an event, take the time to set up your bar correctly. It doesn’t have to be expensive!

Literally NO ONE knows how to do this correctly unless they’ve done it many times. 😉 Book your consultation on my website and I can show you how to correctly and confidently purchase your event alcohol! Beveragebff.com

Um… That’s TOMORROW. Schedule your consultations so we can create your bar plan and you can go shopping! Remember, seasonal products go quickly!

People! To get your bar plan and shopping list correct, it takes a conversation, not a calculator. Does everyone’s catering menu look the same? I don’t think so…

The Beverage BFF was created to take an “all sides” approach to bar planning. In a large event, no one vendor is an island. It takes cooperation from everyone for it to be a success.
A consultation is a thorough and comprehensive look at purchasing, as well as, serving alcohol. Book directly on my website Beveragebff.com

F6 and D4 are the only acceptable ways to drink coffee. Full stop. 😝

I guarantee your guests will appreciate your beverages being plentiful rather than the highest quality. The wine you might serve at an intimate dinner party will not be the wine you would serve 200 people at your wedding. Keep in mind that you are purchasing and serving alcohol ‘refreshments’. There is no need to ‘wine and dine’ that many people at one time. Schedule your consultation at Beveragebff.com so I can help you save time, stress, AND money!

Thank you!!! 😘 I freaking LOVE what I do! My favorite are the Zoom consultations where I can actually see the relief in my client’s face.
Let me be your “spirit guide” aka Beverage BFF and help you save time, money and unnecessary stress! Beveragebff.com to schedule.

It’s time again for this little reminder! Planners/caterers/venue owners - stay sane! Love, your Beverage BFF

23/08/2023

Planners, BYOB venue owners, or anyone supplying the alcohol for their event, schedule you consultation before you shop! And, of course, after you’ve tried those silly little online calculators that only confuse you more. Beveragebff.com

Interesting. I would have sworn gin would have taken it by far. Regardless, this proves my point. Have another choice of beer besides an IPA. Don’t just offer Chardonnay as the white. And trust me, there are people out there that DESPISE gin (like me).
When building your bar menu, keep these things in mind in order to keep it crowd friendly! I can help - Beveragebff.com to schedule your consultation to make this and all things bar, make sense!

And sometimes time is money! Pick what’s important to you and if saving time AND money are, let Beverage BFF help you save both. Schedule your consultation directly on my website beveragebff.com (link in bio)

If you didn’t start your alcohol journey with this or something similar, you’re lying.

It can’t hurt to ask and offering a corkage fee will go a long way. Not every bar/restaurant/hotel/venue can possibly carry every selection. So if there is a wine that is special to you and your family, explain the reason and be willing to negotiate. Often this tactic will yield the desired result and you might even save some money!

And this is exactly the math I use when a guest tells me what they might typically drink at a party. 1+1=5 😏

The violence is for soooo many reasons… Everyone should experience at least one in their lifetime, but they should also experience the headache of making one. A LIT as a signature drink for an event is a bad idea. It’s 7 ingredients, 5 of which are alcohol. They can be murder for a busy bartender and is just an all around dangerous drink for the inexperienced guest. Or any guest for that matter. 😵

Happy to Melvin! 🫶🏼🐱💕🥰

BYOB venues that have added The Beverage BFF to a preferred vendor list have immediate assistance in enforcing the guardrails they have in place for a bar or alcohol. If it’s a beer/wine only venue, I’m going to make that clear to the client. No glass bottles? I’m going to remind the client. Got a 5 hour max bar service limit? I’m not going to suggest enough drinks for 7 hours.
How do I know what is and isn’t allowed? Either a planner or venue manager will send me a copy of a contract I can review before and during a client consultation. I like to remind a client that certain rules are put in place based on location, state/county laws, and to help protect the venue owner’s investment.
Unfortunately, people do not always treat other’s property with the same care and respect that they would their own. I can help reinforce your rules.

There is SOOOOO much bad and incorrect information on the internet when it comes to event bars and alcohol. I break it down for you so it’s not complicated or overwhelming. Plus, the consultation fee pays for itself almost every single time.

The results are in! And IMO, ALL of these opinions are correct!
*If a formal toast is important to you, then it’s important!
*If you are working with a tight budget or despise bubbles, skip the toast. No one will miss it and will be happy to toast with their High Noon.
*It’s true! It is a tradition with a rich and deep history and meaning. (Google it)
*It can absolutely be wasteful. More than 50% of the bubbles poured for a formal toast get poured down the drain. And if it’s real Champagne, someone should be arrested.

Happy to two of my very best girlfriends! 😘🩷🩵

Who said it has to have 18 exotic ingredients?!? If you love a specific beer or wine, make that your featured drink.

You are not building a bar or a restaurant, so you should not feel like you need a little of everything. A lot of a few options is a much better strategy!

28/07/2023

OR, you could make a Whiskey Sour, Sidecar, or Lemondrop. Happy Friday!

26/07/2023

Why?
1) You probably have a pretty good idea of guest count.
2) You have secured bartending services.
3) You have finalized your food menu.
4) You’re finalizing your timeline.
5) Seasonal products are dropping.
6) Back to school sales (JK 😉)
7) You are ready to check that last overwhelming piece of the event puzzle off your list and finally get a good night’s sleep!
Schedule your consultation at Beveragebff.com and let me help you. I promise you will feel 1000% better about correctly building your event bar all while saving time, money, and stress!

Were you curious where I am located? As you can see, EVERYWHERE! From Key West to the islands off of Washington. I meet with clients either by phone or video chat to talk through every aspect of their event bar and what and how to purchase.
This service is most helpful for clients that are supplying a byob venue, but is certainly not limited to that!
I have helped many folks that need me to look over all inclusive beverage packages to see where changes can be made to suit their specific tastes.
