The Bar

A great bar is often the key to a great cocktail hour and wedding reception. So without further ado, here are some ways you can make your wedding bar stand out above the rest. 

Liquor Bar

Choose your favorite liquor, in this case brandy, and serve several special varieties of it for guests while allowing them to do a tasting of each one!

Wine Bar

Are you both wine lovers? Share your love of wine with your guests by featuring wine from your favorite local vineyard, even pair it with cheese or chocolates and serve it during cocktail hour.
