Re: Open bar ??

We have looked into many places, and all of them so far have included open bars in any of their packages.

It's included. I have never seen one without. I think that you would have to request a cash bar.

Re: Open bar ??

Usually included but went to one place.... (which shall remain nameless) that wanted to charge an extra $500 if we wanted a martini bar. My FW told me that this isn't too out of the ordinary but the place didn't really impress me.. (the FW hated it.. OMG) but I thought since it was already over-priced in my opinion, that they could have thrown that in.

Re: Open bar ??

It's included in my price, but I've seen it priced separately at plenty of other places. On average the prices I've seen are about $7-10 per person, per hour for "top shelf" open bar, and $10+ for "premium". So 4 hours of a premium open bar could cost around $40 per person plus tax/grat.

Re: Open bar ??

It came included with my hall. Are you having you food catered elsewhere and just using the catering hall as the site. That is usually when things get broken down.
