Even if you’re planning a full bar later, we strongly recommend limiting service to beer/wine/signatures during cocktail hour—when everyone hits the bar at once right after the ceremony. It keeps the line moving, sets a gorgeous first impression, and saves your premium spirits for when the rush settles.

Why This Combo Wins

It’s the perfect mix of variety and velocity—without chaos behind the bar.

• Speed without sacrifice: Streamlined choices = quick decisions, faster pours, and less bottleneck during that first 30–60 minutes.
• Broad appeal — Beer and wine cover most tastes; signatures add personality and color..
• Your two show-stoppers: The focus is directed toward your signature cocktails and most all guests will try at least one of them.
• Easy mirroring — Spirit-free mocktail “twins” keep non-drinkers included (same glassware, same garnish).
• Inclusive & intentional: We mirror your signatures as zero-proof options so every guest gets the same experience—minus the alcohol, not the fun.

• Transition-ready: After cocktail hour, flip to full bar (if you choose) with momentum already on your side.

How We Engineer the Menu

Contrast is the secret sauce. We design two signatures that feel different at a glance and on the palate.

• One bright & shaken — citrusy, refreshing, crowd-pleasing.
• One rich & stirred — spirit-forward, aromatic, smooth.
• Color story — we can match your palette without using messy dyes.
• Seasonal nudge — adjust citrus, herbs, and spice to the month and venue vibe.

• Mirror-match mocktails: Same glassware, same garnish, same photo-worthy look—just zero-proof.

Sample Menu

Swap spirits to fit your preferences—we’ll tailor the details.

• “Just Peachy About You” (shaken) Vodka, peach, lemon, honey, bubbles top • Dehydrated lemon + mint.
• “Smoke & Vows” (stirred; optional smoke reveal) Bourbon, maple, bitters, orange oils • Torched orange peel + cherry.
• Beer: Light Beer, Lager, and a variety flavored hard seltzers
• Wine: a bright Sauvignon Blanc, a smooth Pinot Noir, and a sweet Moscato
• Mocktail Twins: Peach-honey lemon fizz; maple-orange zero-proof old fashioned.

Batching & Service

Without Killing Freshness

Pre-batching is about consistency and speed—not cutting corners.

• Day-of batches only — we mix the same day to preserve brightness and aromatics.
• Pre-dilute where it helps — shaken citrus drinks are batched to service strength so every pour is balanced.
• Drink Dispensers – display bar top in one of our beautiful drink dispensers – pure eye candy !!
• Keep a small “working bottle” at the station — backstock readily available and in ice baths if needed
• Garnish readiness — for intricate garnishments have them pre-skewered and on ice so service hands don’t slow down.
• Quality check — quick taste before service window; adjust acid/sweetness if needed
• Pro tip: For 150 guests, plan ~2.5–3 oz per signature, per guest, per hour adjusted for beer/wine preference and timeline.

Add-Ons That Pair Perfectly

Little add-on can make a huge impact

• Custom toppers — monograms, logos, or pet cameos for instant shareability.
• Hydration station — self-service water, iced tea and lemonade keeps everyone comfortable (and lines shorter).
• Coffee bar — powers the dance set after dinner.
