How to dispense drinks!

VM051190 · February 2012

I have a large wedding of about 300 people and I need ideas on how to do a "self serve" drink bar. There is no alcohol involved, just weater, tea (sweet and unsweet) and Lemonade. I would prefer to not have my friends/family that are helping refilling containers every 3 minutes with the small 2 gallon containers.

Any ideas on what to do?

With 300 guests, no matter what you serve your drinks out of, they'll need to be refilled. I suggest doing large drink despensers like this one:

I got a 3 gallon dispenser for the sweet tea I am making but everything else is bottled water and sodas. There is also a hot coffee pot that does 40 cups.

ETA I also hired someone in for $10 an hour to do last minute set up the hour before the reception and refill everything as it goes on.

I purchased a huge green glass container years ago at Costco........I think it was 10 gallons....I know they still carry containers larger than 2-3 gallons
