Give cocktails a defined place before dinner, during an agreed later service or both. The wedding breakfast, speeches and evening arrivals should shape the schedule, so the couple is not paying for an unclear service period or expecting drinks during an agreed pause.
Separate serving time from pauses and room changes
Show the reception start, call to dinner, speeches, evening arrivals and finish. If the bar needs to move, include access and preparation for the new position rather than treating the move as instant.
Confirm the package's planned serving and break arrangements in the quote. Hotel or catering teams may handle dinner wine while Cocktailhire provides the agreed cocktail periods. Include the full relevant guest count and make any additional evening attendance clear. Package ingredients are supplied by Cocktailhire; drinks outside that booking need a separate plan.
- Share the whole running order, including evening guest arrivals.
- Agree how delayed speeches or room access affect the service schedule.
