Drinks Package

Some wedding bar advice please 🥂



We are getting married in Italy and have been given 2 options by our wedding planner for the drinks/bar package.
Option 1 - £75 pp for a 2 hour open bar, where they will serve all drinks including cocktails and hard liquor.
Option 2 - Offer just wine, beer & choice of cocktails and pay on consumption. (Wine is £50 per bottle, £15 beer & £25 for cocktails).
There is no cashier so we have to pay and have not got the option to let guests pay.
I know the drinks are expensive, our fault for booking a 5 start hotel 🙈.
Anyway I can't figure out which will be the better and less expensive option for 32 guests????
Any advice welcomed!

    You need to look at your guest list. If most of your guests either don't drink or drink only moderately, then you'll be better off paying per bottle/drink. But if you have guests who are likely to treat an open bar as an incentive to drink as much as possible, then the £75pp would be your better option.

    For example, I went to a friend's wedding where each table of six was provided with two bottles of wine - you then bought anything you wanted on top of that. We didn't even make it through one bottle, since we had two non-drinkers and the other four only had a small glass each. But another table got through theirs and then went round taking the unused bottles off every other table. By the end of the meal, they'd got through two bottles each.

    So if all your guests were like our table, you'd have been paying £50 per six guests if you paid per drink or £450 for the free bar. But if all your guests were like those on the other table, then the cost would have been £600 for six guests if paying per drink or £450 for the free bar! It really is a case of 'know your crowd'.
