Ours came with our caterer. Our reception is at a private estate, so we are paying $160 per bartender. We provide the liquor ourselves from Costco. Liquor is a big deal to us, so we got 2, and will be providing special "hawaiin" drinks as specials...open donation bars.

I don't drink and pretty much my side of the family doesn't really drink, but FI's side does and our friends do, so the caterer is supplying a bartender and the glassware, and we're supplying the alcohol via costco. :)

We used the drink services that our caterer offered. While pricey, you are going to have to offer something to drink and the costs include glasses, ice, pop, juice, etc. - not just alcohol. We paid $1200 for our drinks via the caterer and offered beer and wine. I thought it was worth it and we didn't have to run around to Costco trying to buy and return alcohol.

Our $160 per bartender (2) comes with their own table, ice, glasswear, straws...all that stuff. We figure we will buy $600 in liquor/beer, another $100 or so in mixes. Costco is beside the airport, so no problem there on our way out.

We are also hiring a bartender (who will be providing everything but the alcohol) and going the Costco route. We were quoted $1800 to serve ~100 people. Includes everything including cocktailers who will be walking around with drinks (as to avoid a long line at the bar).

That's the plan!

We went through our caterer too. I think we paid 30$/hour for our bartender, and spent about 300$ on booze plus 10$ per guest for all the mixes and stuff (that covered our Wailua Soda stuff too!)
