Raise a glass to the newlyweds!

Don’t let your wedding guests be empty handed when they hear this traditional social cue. It’s time to plan the bar at your upcoming event. Luckily, we know some local professionals in NC who will make sure your wedding bar is top-tier.

NC Wedding Bar Services – More Than a Mixed Drink 

You are probably serving beer, wine and liquor at your wedding, and possibly all three. If you are serving alcohol at your private event, a ABC-licensed NC company is the best solution to manage your bar, bartenders and alcohol. This might be handled in-house by your wedding venue (usually at a line-item or package fee). But if not, you’ll probably need to book bartending services to make sure that your bar is fully stocked and legal!

With written permission from the venue you have rented, you may personally buy a limited special occasion permit from the ABC Commission oof NC, in order to bring and serve wine and liquor on the premises. The caveat here is that you are legally liable for not allowing any underage drinking, and possibly for accidents that should occur from drunk driving of any guests. It’s advised that you also add event liability insurance to your home insurance before the event.

NC Wedding Bar Services – Tips to Sip On

First, evaluate your budget and decide if you’ll be offering your wedding guests an open bar, wine and beer only, or a mixture of the two (ie, a signature liquor drink at cocktail hour). Here are some wedding industry standards for stocking your open bar:

  • Two to three beer options
  • Two to three wine options
  • Basic liquor and mixer options
  • Two signature drinks (one for you and one for your partner)

Seasonal Sips to Help Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

Spring – Meant to Be Mint Julep, Trophy Wife (a local brew on tap at Brewmasters Mobile) or Magic Moment Mojito

Summer – Marry Me Margarita, Social Butterfly (specialty cocktail by Rocky Top Bar Services, pictured below) or Sultry Sangria

Fall – Pumpkin flavored beer or mixed drinks, Grapefruit & Citra Hard Cider Spritzer (on tap at Brewmasters Mobile) or Moscow Mule

Winter – Nitro Cold Brew (cream ale on tap at Brewmasters Mobile), Baby It’s Cold Outside beverage cart from Rocky Top Bar Services (non-alcoholic drinks) or Hot Toddy

Garnish the Glass – and the Bar 

After you’ve selected the drinks for your wedding bar, it’s time to style the bar itself! If you’re hosting a cocktail hour or wedding reception at a venue, ask about their on-site bar options. They might have a pretty bar available for rent. If not, our recommended party rental stores and lighting services companies offer a diverse selection of wedding bars including white marble countertops and rustic barn-wood masterpieces. Perk it up with floral arrangements and greenery. Ask your stationer, calligrapher or wedding artist to create a unique bar sign or banner with an illustration of your signature cocktails! Add statement lighting or an Edison bulb chandelier to your bar display. Decorating your wedding bar will definitely elevate your guests wedding experience and create a conversational centerpiece at your special event.
