Yes. Of Course! Most guests expect a combination of wine/beer/hard bar at your wedding reception. However, don't forget! There is also a group of your guests that might not be able to sip on the booze. So what do you do! Offer a bad-a$$ non-alcoholic beverage station. We always talk about the guest experience, and this is one simple addition you can include to make ALL of your guests feel loved.

Here's a small breakdown of some guest you might need to consider at your wedding:

  • Recovering/Sober
  • Pregnant
  • Minors
  • On Medication 
  • Religious reasons 
  • Physical Reaction 
  • Mental health 
  • Designated Driver
  • Hates the taste 
  • Budget

TIP!! Talk to your Caterer or Bar Service to create a delicious alternative for your guests. You can customize your bar, and create beverages that can also do double duty - cocktail and mocktail!

Here's some examples that we talk about:

  • Mobile Coffee Bar
  • Hot Chocolate station (with marshmallows!!)
  • Hot Apple Cider
  • Kombucha bar
  • Mocktails (Shirley Temple, Virgin Mary/Colada)
  • Lemonade / Ice Tea / Fruit punch 
  • Infused water 
  • Juice bar
