I have to admit I am kinda loving the advice on this board more so than any of the other ones...As we're steamrolling through the planning, our topic of discussion last night was the almighty BEVERAGES! Ohhhh I know this is a hot debate everywhere. We spent a lot of time last night looking up different sites for "How Many Beverages for 100 people." Everything states something different! This is our plan...critique away, tweak, give opinions, give it to me from a been there done that stand point....We have 100 people. 4/5Pm ceremony time, 1 hour cocktail hour immediately following on the same grounds (with appetizers), and then the reception immediately after the cocktail hour (still on the same grounds). We will have a bar stocked with two bar tenders. I don't want the bar tenders doing regular beverages as I feel this could hold up the line. So we're thinking self serve soda (can) (regular, diet, clear), water (bottled), ice tea (2 gallon dispenser), lemonade (2 gallon dispenser. The bar will distribute beer (tap) (1 regular, 1 lite), sangria, red wine, white wine, mixed drinks. We will also be having a separate coffee station.
These are the quantities we are looking at:

150 cans regular soda
50 cans diet soda
50 cans clear soda
150 bottles water
4 gallons Ice Tea
4 gallons Lemonade
