Host-paid wedding drinks service

Wedding Cocktail Packages in London

You should not have to spend the wedding morning checking whether the bar, bartenders, drinks, ice and glassware are all arriving. For a wedding in London, this brings those parts together as one host-paid service, agreed before the day.

Start with the room

The venue and available service point decide whether the event needs a proper bar or only experienced people behind the existing one.

Match the pace

Guest numbers and service times are enough to judge the staffing level before anyone commits to a setup that is too large or too small.

Choose drinks with the event in mind

The event menu comes from the existing Cocktailhire menu, so the practical choices are clear before the day gets close.

What to settle before choosing a package in London

If the wedding room already has a proper bar, tell us. If it does not, the package can bring the bar, bartenders, selected drinks, ice and glassware together. The answer comes from the room, guest numbers and timings, not from adding things the day does not need.

This is a host-paid wedding service. Guests are served without buying their own drinks, and the couple are not left coordinating separate bar suppliers as the date gets closer.

Why the price is not built around guesswork

We are not the lowest quote. The difference pays for a team we know, a paid booking treated as protected, and an event planned properly before guests arrive. Cocktailhire has attended every confirmed event it has taken.

London planning guide

A host-paid London wedding cocktail package with the drinks side held together

A wedding package is for couples who do not want to coordinate the bar, bartenders, selected drinks, ice and glassware as separate jobs. The booked scope is agreed before the day so the wedding morning is not spent checking which supplier owns each part.

Host-paid service

Guests are served within the booked package rather than buying individual drinks at the bar.

One written scope

The agreed bar, team, selected drinks, ice, glassware and timings are set out together.

Built around the day

Ceremony, speeches, food and evening arrivals are considered when planning service pressure.

Begin with the room and the running order

For a London wedding, set out the drinks-service periods alongside the ceremony, wedding breakfast, speeches and evening arrivals. Include everyone joining the booked service, not only the ceremony guests. Tell us whether the reception and evening party use the same room so the bar position and any proposed room change can be discussed before the day.

London access deserves early attention. Confirm the appointed venue or planning contact, supplier arrival window, loading route, floor level and any restrictions around leaving equipment overnight. Those details protect the setup without asking the couple to become the production manager.

What the couple is actually buying

Guests do not pay at the bar. Cocktailhire brings the staffed bar, ingredients for your selected drinks, ice and glassware for the agreed service. You choose from our existing menu; we handle the supplies. The optional ingredient itinerary in your booking email is simply a record of what we are bringing, not a shopping task for the couple or planner.

If the venue already supplies the bar and the couple only needs experienced people, bartender or cocktail maker hire may be enough. The package is the right route when removing coordination and supply risk is worth more than splitting the booking across several companies.
