Wedding Cocktail Package vs Buying Your Own Alcohol

Buying alcohol yourself can look cheaper until the couple has to manage stock, chilling, glassware, bartenders, service speed, leftovers and timing on the day.

First route

Choose a wedding cocktail package when you want the bar paid for, planned and served properly, with guests not paying at the bar.

Second route

Choose the DIY route only if you genuinely want to manage stock, glassware, setup, service and leftovers yourself.

The decision rule

Choose the service that covers the work you want us to handle. Confirm who supplies the bar, staff, drinks ingredients and glassware, then agree the service hours and full guest count before booking.
