Hi Ladies-
FI and I are having a hard time figuring out what type of bar we will be able to host for our upcoming August wedding, for budgetary reasons. We're having approximately 180 guests (about 160 actual drinkers). Our venue offers consumption based bar only. At this point we are thinking of having open beer and wine (and possibly 1 signature drink) but I'm curious as to what the difference is if we just do complete open bar.
I know it's hard to get true numbers since every wedding is different for a variety of reasons (guest totals, bar prices, type of crowd, etc) however I'm hoping that by hearing your costs it will at least give me a starting point.
So if you don't mind sharing - If you had a consumption based open bar, how much did it cost?
TIA!
