How Many Cocktails Should You Offer at a Wedding

Keep the event menu focused.

Cocktailhire's package selection is built around five drinks from the choices allowed by your tier. The useful question is whether those choices give guests enough contrast, not whether the event can display the longest menu.

A focused selection makes it easier to order during the reception rush and gives the team a clear preparation plan. Tier 1 uses the Yellow menu; Tier 2 adds Blue choices with an optional Green choice; Tier 3 gives access across the three tiers. Use the live booking menu for the exact available selection.

A practical example

Five clearly different drinks can give guests more useful choice than a larger list of close variations. Discuss an alcohol-free option alongside the selection rather than assuming all five alcoholic choices can be made without alcohol.

What to confirm for your wedding

  • Five-drink selection within the chosen tier
  • A useful range of flavours
  • Alcohol-free choices agreed rather than assumed
