you don&#8217;t need to pay for top-shelf liquor. While it&#8217;s definitely a nice perk if you can afford to supply your guests with the best of the best, if your budget can&#8217;t justify it, then don&#8217;t sweat it. Your wedding guests can still enjoy their favourite cocktails and drinks on a smaller scale. And while we&#8217;re at it, you don&#8217;t have to overspend on champagne either. A champagne toast is a nice idea in theory, but most of the night&#8217;s champagne is thrown away. People either love it or they don&#8217;t. So keep the champagne order to a minimum or swap it out for a cheaper sparkling wine, like prosecco.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Have_a_Bartender\"><\/span>Do Have a Bartender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re having an open or cash bar, it&#8217;s always a good idea to enlist more than one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/barchef-toronto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">bartender<\/a> (at least two is best!) as well as to have the venue&#8217;s staff, or your catering staff, to help serve your guests. A self-serve bar, while it might seem like a cost-effective option, is typically more than you bargained for. Because guests will always overserve themselves, not only will it cost you more money in the long run but more alcohol typically means more drama and you don&#8217;t need that on your wedding day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/louis-hansel-_6ZqQc02NYc-unsplash.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-84957 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYxMCUyRmxvdWlzLWhhbnNlbC1fNlpxUWMwMk5ZYy11bnNwbGFzaC5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iOTkwIiBkYXRhLWg9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"The Do's and Don'ts of Having Alcohol at Your Wedding\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Have_Only_One_Bar\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Have Only One Bar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the idea of having an additional bar might depend on your venue, if it&#8217;s possible to have a second bar, then definitely consider it, especially if you&#8217;re having a rather large wedding. A second bar alleviates the long line of guests who might be stuck waiting on their drinks to be made and miss highlights of the reception, like the first toast or even their dinner being served. Having an additional place to serve drinks allows more flow and movement to your big day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Consider_Water_Stations\"><\/span>Do Consider Water Stations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hydrating with water is a must for those who are consuming alcohol, and it&#8217;s always a good idea to ensure your guests have access to water to balance out their drink intake. This is why you should consider having a water station at your wedding for guests so they can fill up their own water glasses. Sometimes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/staffing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">service staff<\/a>, including the bartenders, just don&#8217;t have the time (or forget!) to replenish water glasses. This way ensures your guests are constantly hydrating in between drinks!<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/freddy-g-RiLvkpaG-sE-unsplash.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-84956 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYxMCUyRmZyZWRkeS1nLVJpTHZrcGFHLXNFLXVuc3BsYXNoLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"The Do's and Don'ts of Having Alcohol at Your Wedding\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Think_You_Have_to_Have_Alcohol\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Think You Have to Have Alcohol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you or your spouse-to-be, or both of you, are not drinking alcohol for whichever reason, don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s necessary to serve alcohol at your wedding.

Just make sure that guests are aware before they come so they know what to expect!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Consider_the_Season\"><\/span>Do Consider the Season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Certain seasons are better for certain drinks, including cocktails and wine.
