A separate cocktail bar can work when you want cocktails in a particular reception room or during the evening celebration. First establish what the hotel is already providing and whether the extra bar fits the room and your event arrangements.
Add a useful service, not a second version of the same booking
A dedicated cocktail bar may serve the evening while the hotel handles wedding-breakfast wine and earlier drinks. That division needs to be clear so the couple is not paying two teams to cover the same service or left with an unexpected gap.
Check the frontage, working space, delivery access and storage against the actual room plan. Choose drinks from the existing Cocktailhire menu and confirm the guest count for the agreed service. If you book a wedding package, its ingredients are brought by Cocktailhire rather than added to your shopping list.
- Share the ceremony, dinner, speeches and evening timings.
- Identify which drinks and duties remain with the hotel.
