Wedding bar service
A wedding is four different bars in one day, and the drink has to arrive exactly when the schedule says. We plan it as a timeline first and a menu second.
Wedding drink budgets go wrong in two directions: running dry at 9pm, or paying for four unopened cases. We quote on a sale-or-return basis where possible and plan volumes against the timeline rather than a flat per-head number.
| Event length | Drinks per guest | What that usually means |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours (reception) | 2–3 | Arrival drink plus one or two rounds |
| 3 hours | 3–4 | One cocktail, then wine, beer or a soft serve |
| 4 hours (standard) | 4–5 | The planning baseline for most parties |
| 5–6 hours | 5–7 | Service slows after the food; pace matters more than volume |
Many London wedding venues are dry hire, or allow an external bar under their own conditions. We ask for the venue's supplier terms early, confirm corkage and licensing arrangements in writing, and work to their access and finish times.

Questions we get asked
Yes — dry hire is where a mobile bar earns its keep. We bring the bar, glassware, ice, stock and crew, and work to the venue's access and finish times.
As a planning baseline, four to five drinks per guest across a full day, weighted towards arrival and the first evening hour. Your quote sets this against the actual timeline.
We can serve drink you have supplied. Corkage is a matter between you and the venue; we confirm their terms in writing before quoting so there are no surprises.
As late as the venue licence permits. Extra hours are quoted by the hour and confirmed with the venue before the day.
