What Bar Package to Choose for Your Wedding

Planning the drinks for your wedding ceremony and reception can feel overwhelming with so many options to consider. If you're getting married near Fulshear, Brandt 1910 in Wallis offers customizable bar packages that make it easy to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for your guests. Every venue is different, so here’s a helpful guide to understanding your bar package options and finding the best fit for your big day.

Understanding Bar Packages at Your Wedding Venue

Before selecting a bar package, check with your venue to ensure they have the necessary licenses, staff, and insurance to serve alcohol legally and safely. Some venues allow you to bring your own alcohol, but this can place liability on you as the host. At Brandt 1910, we provide fully licensed bar services, so you can relax and enjoy your wedding without any added stress.

At Brandt 1910, we offer flexible bar packages designed to suit different guest counts, budgets, and preferences. No matter which package you choose, every option includes:

Premium beer, wine, and liquor
Bottled water and soft drinks
Ice, cups, straws, and garnishes
TABC-certified bartenders for safe and responsible service (additional fees may apply)

Now, let’s explore the available bar packages!

1. Open Bar ($32 Per Adult)

For couples who want a fully hosted experience, the Open Bar is the best choice.

$32 per adult covers unlimited beer, wine, liquor, and soft drinks for up to six hours.
Includes one bartender for up to 100 guests (additional bartenders recommended for larger receptions).

Is this option right for your guests? An Open Bar allows guests to enjoy drinks without worrying about the cost, making it a great choice for couples who want to create a relaxed, all-inclusive party atmosphere.

2. Pay by the Drink

This package provides flexibility while keeping the bar tab under your control.

Drinks are charged per glass and billed to an open tab that the host settles at the end of the event.
TABC-certified bartenders are required and are an additional charge.

Is this option right for your guests? A great middle-ground option, Pay by the Drink allows you to treat guests while setting a budget-friendly limit on bar expenses.

3. Cash Bar

For budget-conscious couples, a Cash Bar lets guests purchase their own drinks.

Guests pay for their own drinks via cash or credit card.
The host covers the cost of the bartender(s) for the duration of service.

Is this option right for your guests? A Cash Bar is a practical solution for couples looking to manage wedding expenses while still offering guests a variety of drink options. Just be sure to communicate this arrangement in advance to avoid any surprises!

How Many Bartenders Will You Need?

Efficient service is key to keeping your wedding reception running smoothly. We recommend:

1 bartender for weddings with under 100 guests.
2 bartenders for weddings with more than 100 guests to ensure prompt service.
