Ask New York Weddings

 

Question:
Where my reception is being held I am the only bride that day and am using the entire facility. I have a guest list of two hundred. How many bars should be open and how many bartenders should be used when there are three bars?

Answer:
Usually venues will require at least 1 bartender per 75 to 100 guests. Once you include mixed drinks at an open bar into the mix (no pun intended!) you will want to have at least 1 bartender extra! With the resources that are available at your venue, to be on the safe side, 2 bars with 2 bartenders each would ensure that none of your guests are left waiting in long lines at your wedding!

Floral Budgeting

Get the most out of your florist by selecting blooms that are currently in season, and if possible, locally grown. Additionally, the less intricate the floral arrangement, the less labor and money it will require.
