When I got married more than 30 years ago, all this was included in the plate price provided by the hall we rented. The wedding business has always been a money grab, but it's even worse now.

@JasmineJones-wh1tv Год назад

Cash bars aren't so bad. However, if it is not communicated prior to the event it will definitely piss people off. 😂

@misslyntheena Год назад

Right when you were talking about food trucks, I suddenly heard the melody of the ice cream truck outside my window and he pulled up with his truck - now if that’s not a sign then I don’t know haha

@triffgrl Год назад

The Master Plan was my ride or die leading up to my wedding! As with most venues I was required to meet with them 30 days out from the wedding day to finalize everything. The venue coordinator had then asked me to start supplying them with certain information and explained I had until about a week before the wedding to get said information to them. The pride and satisfaction I felt when I was able to surrender all my master plan docs to my venue at that very meeting was unforgettable!!! Not only was the coordinator very pleased, but she was equally impressed. Top “Boss Lady” moment… ever!!!

We had a very simple wedding reception in the church's parish hall. We didn't really have the money to hire a licensed bar tender or have a bunch of liquor, so we just mass bulk bought wine and beer from Costco. We put the beer in a big ice chest and put a bottle of wine or two on each table for self-serve. Worked great! And then nobody had to wait in line for alcohol.

@butterflyn8062 8 месяцев назад

My cousin had a cash bar, but she had a bottle of red and white on each table and spares to replace if the table went through one already. Def cut lines at the bar and they didn't go through the stress and extra spending on a cash bar. Fun idea with the beer chest!

@jocelynsmyth6604 5 месяцев назад

I like this idea! I've heard of cocktail stations too, where people can make their own, or you have a designated person watching over it, depends on your guests and how well they behave though ;)

@Shadeadder 5 месяцев назад

@@jocelynsmyth6604 Just a note on that - a lot of venues require that have a licensed bar tender to serve any liquor, so definitely something to check before planning on a self-serve cocktail station.

I'm so lucky that my partner's side of the family is Muslim - out of respect for them we're having a dry wedding, which makes my bank account VERY happy (⁠｡⁠･‿･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ💸

@Mr.And.Mrs.Wedding Год назад

I’m doing a cash bar for several reasons. 1. We want alcohol 2. We have alcoholics in our families so doing that will lower the chances of them going over board 3. Because of the alcoholics many don’t drink so no wasting money on those who don’t drink 4. We will save a lot of unneeded money

@sim771 Год назад

@itssteph263 Год назад

For the dessert tables, if making everything from scratch isn't important I would suggest maybe opting finding a friend or family member with a Costco or Sam's Club membership, and buying snacks in bulk. They also offer bulk wholesale cases.

@LadyAhro Год назад

Cash bars are the norm in the UK. A rare business for someone to be paying for it with our drinking tendencies. Bankruptcy is a bad wedding gift for the bride and groom. Although wine for a table is often provided if it’s not a buffet (and then you’ll potentially get a large number of filled glasses at a separate table (with limited refills of said glasses before the bar becomes the default)

@polishindian2002 Год назад

hahahah this is funny! I worked in events, and we tend to do alcohol on consumption, so it was a set budget for it and after it's gone it's gone :)

@AlanWendy49 Год назад

We had our wedding on a Sunday and had an open bar until the program ended, around 8pm, then it was a cash bar for the guests that wanted to party after until 11. We had the DJ announce when it was ending and there was a small line of peeps that wanted that last shot. The older folks took that as cue to go home, which is exactly what we wanted. 😂

@jocelynsmyth6604 5 месяцев назад

That is SUCH a smart idea 😊

@rebeccamann1686 Год назад

Hey Jamie! Have you done/could you do a video on flipping the space - things you need to consider when your ceremony and reception are happening in the same room like how much can you set up in advance and how much time to calculate the cocktail hour needing to be? Thanks so much!

@angelica.86 7 месяцев назад

Yes, please. I'm hosting a backyard wedding and all events will be in the same place

@polishindian2002 Год назад

Where I am from, it is unthinkable to have guests pay by anything at the wedding. If you can't afford something just don't do it and that is highly respected. Most people don't bring cash or their wallets to weddings.

@AmandaHoranGoBookYourself 10 месяцев назад

In Ireland, the bride and groom would never pay for guest's drinks. There would be wine with the meal offered by the bride and groom but after that, it's up to the guests. Our weddings don't end until the early hours of the morning.

As a graduate of your master plan program, I'm so glad you're giving the general public a chance to see your monthly calls. Our inaugural Zoom group was SO amazingly helpful and supportive to my wedding planning (a year and a half ago!). Hugs! - Mig

Food trucks sound great, but take forever. My office had an employee appreciation day with a taco truck. It took forever for everyone to get food.... not sure why they cook per order rather than having a bunch of ingredients ready to be go.

I was to a wedding once there there was a 2 drinks per person free and then cash bar after that. I am not sure how they kept track of as I was a minor a the time. Another time I was at a wedding, and they carded you at the bar and gave you a wrist band that they punched and only 2 drinks allowed total. Both prevented people from over drinking. I have relatives that will drink to the point of getting sick in the bathroom if the bar is free

@hollynauss6359 2 месяца назад

Some churches do not allow alcohol on the premesis. In fact, one recently marrued couple stated clearly on the invitation that "alcohol will not be allowed". None served, dont bring any in. It was a fun, bouncy, energetic party without the booze.

@MinnieJane20 Год назад

My daughter's wedding is going to be a Sunday brunch at 11:00 in the morning so no real need to serve alcohol.

@emajjamarie 5 месяцев назад

Instead of a cash bar (because expecting ppl to pay for things at your wedding is 👎) just put a couple bottles of wine on each table. It’s cheap as long as there isn’t an alcohol prohibition.

@alexischristopher2015 Год назад

I know so many sober people and alcoholics. So it’s not about money. But it’s a real addiction issue. I’m quelling the available alcohol. And my bill would be like 50 k. If I just let people drink. So I have to be carful 😊😂🎉

We got married at the courthouse in December, then had a big party at a park pavilion with family and friends in May that we called our celebration of marriage. We used Mission BBQ to cater the and DIY’ed the dessert and bar.

For the money dance, I've seen the couple or whoever is coordinating the safety pins, also have dollar bills provided, so all you have to do is dance to participate. It's not about the money, it's about the gesture and wanting everyone to feel included.

@ariamoore5916 Год назад

We had a cash bar at our wedding. The reason for that, is it was to deter our relatives who have drinking problems from drinking too much. Which it did. Everything else from the hors d’oeuvres to the meal and the desserts was provided for. The evening went off without a hitch. And not a single person complained about the cash bar. They got their drinks and were happy.

@ElenaFernsler 8 месяцев назад

Follow up to DIY Pies, bride with celiac comment. A few years ago, I was at a wedding where this is essentially what we did. The bride/couple weren’t fans of Carrie and decided to go with pies. While it took some coordinating before hand, those of us arriving early essentially volunteered for the pie baking. We were starting in Vrbos or AirBnBs with full kitchens. Due to allergies, we had one house and kitchen for gluttonous pies and for glutenless pies. (Gluten containing and gluten free pies.) All of the dry ingredients were ordered before hand. Everyone involved in the baking had a pie or more to contribute and it all worked out wonderfully.

@amberamber100 8 месяцев назад

We are doing a little of both with the bar. We will be providing a full champagne and canapé session and wine and beer with the buffet, but after the wedding breakfast the cash bar begins because we don’t want people too drunk throwing up in our grounds, and we don’t want to spend thousands on wine and beer when people would rather have an on site bartender making them cocktails and signature drinks.

@annalisemeder8894 Год назад

for a DIY "bar" some of my friends did a really great "station" kind of deal. Tables w/ the wine options (if I recall correctly, 2 red options and 2 white options) and for the main event, which was beer, they had those vintage-y metal washtub looking things filled with ice and each type of beer spread out in an area. So you had the "stouts" with 2-3 options, the "IPAs" w/ 2-3 options, the "Pilsners" w/ 2-3 options, etc. All that was needed was moving cans from the coolers to the tubs periodically, and keeping the ice topped off. TONS of options and it was a group of 100+ beer snobs who were all satisfied.

@annalisemeder8894 Год назад

also adding that since it was all in an area, there was no "line" because you could just come up and grab whatever you wanted. If 1 person wants a red ale and another wants a hefewiezen, they are going to 2 seperate tubs
