Actually, that Santa Margherita pinot grigio we had a while back was pretty yum. In other words, I like white wine. That and plenty of water refills will keep me happy.<br /><br />Re: cordial table with chocolate cups... I have seen this several times and it never gets old!<br /><br />I would also vote against the blender. Sangria sounds great though. Just, uh... put the rum on the side please. ;)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763985035892742115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961038998654691554.post-67642490667541551582011-04-06T11:22:22.282-04:002011-04-06T11:22:22.282-04:00What I've noticed at weddings is that people ...What I've noticed at weddings is that people generally choose the obvious as the 1st couple of drinks, then really can't tell the difference once the buzz has kicked in. So if someone's standard drink is a pinot grigio, they'll usually go for that initially (unless there's a special drink available). Also, a lot of people get drinks for others, so its not like drinks with very detailed and specific ingredients are ordered a lot, which might lead to a lot of wastage. I agree that you should go with top-shelf, but no need for anything ultra.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15588491931225096287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961038998654691554.post-5145684278772226092011-04-06T11:17:29.195-04:002011-04-06T11:17:29.195-04:00For our wedding, we did all of it ourselves.

We didn't want to spend a ton of money on a full bar, so Morgan made up some signature drinks (you can see the menu here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ursa_major/5586424603/in/set-72157626439154268). They had a few different alcohols in them (vodka, bourbon, gin, cachaca). Then we had wine, and a keg of good beer. Everyone loved it. Lots of people said they tried one each of the signature drinks. No one seemed to miss whatever their "old standby" was in terms of hard alcohol, and there were definitely people who stuck to beer and wine too. <br /><br />For non-alcoholic, in addition to water, we had a sparkling punch that was made up of some of those fizzy juice drinks.<br /><br />If your space is small or has good acoustics, I'd really hesitate to have a blender. In my opinion, people can have their margaritas on the rocks, or drink something else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704730807275255524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961038998654691554.post-87632800523163061192011-04-05T22:47:42.363-04:002011-04-05T22:47:42.363-04:00What I think is this -

After a few drinks no one really cares anymore. Sangria is a great idea. Haven't seen it at a wedding, but I sure would get it if it were an option. Cash bars and closing the bar are a horrible idea. <br /><br />As far as beers go, try choosing a light, dark, somewhere in between and a local. Covers it all. If they don't like it...screw em. They're not paying anyway. Soda, juice and water are fine. <br /><br />Know what is cool though? My friend and her husband are drinkers. She spent a lot of money on the bar (her preference) and even got a cordial table. Just a table, full of tiny empty chocolate cups, with a bartender behind and lots of sweet liquors. It was a really, really big hit.

If there is smirnoff raspberry, I will still be happy. If there are no big straws, I will manage, but be less happy. See, how this goes?<br /><br />Anyway, dry receptions suck, cash bars also suck. Closing the bar also sucky. <br /><br />There is no need to go for the ultra pricey option. If you know that there is one person who LOVES Grey Goose(or other pricey liquor) purchase them a bottle, put their name on it and tell the bartender that it is just for a particular person(we did this at my wedding for my stepdad).<br /><br />In my very humble opinion, choose the option one above the house brands. Most people will be happy. <br /><br />Hope that helps!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372975593759588noreply@blogger.com
