Start with two bartenders, then plan the service they will run.
For 100 wedding guests, Cocktailhire's one-bartender-per-50-guests baseline gives two bartenders. Confirm the menu, serving hours and arrival pattern as well; the number alone does not explain how busy the opening reception will be.
The bar baseline is one 1.5-metre unit for up to 100 guests, with the full working footprint agreed around the setup. The team needs room for preparation, glass handling and supplies, not only a counter guests can stand beside. Package ingredients, ice and glassware are supplied within the booked package.
A practical example
If all 100 guests reach the bar after the ceremony together, plan that first wave explicitly. If guests arrive gradually during an evening period, the same headcount creates a different ordering pattern.
