How to Price Your Wedding Venue Bar Packages

Book a Bar Strategy Call with Kinsey Here Having an in-house bar/liquor license as a wedding venue owner can be a great way to provide your clients with a great customer experience and can be a lucrative option for your wedding business. There are different ways to charge for a bar at your wedding venue, and your chosen method will depend on several factors. Four In-House Bar Pricing Methods for Your Wedding Venue: Per person in a set alcohol package: This is a common way to charge for an in-house bar. This is a convenient option for couples who want to have a fixed budget for the bar and not worry about additional expenses. Per person/hourly: Another option is to charge per person per hour. Couples may like this option if they want to limit the time of the bar service. This method allows for flexibility in the budget, as the couple can choose the number of hours they want the bar to be open. Cash bar: A cash bar is a way to charge guests directly for the drinks they consume. This is a good option for couples who want to save on the overall cost of the wedding, as the guests are responsible for their own drinks. However, this option may be less popular with guests. Tally drinks and charge after the wedding: Lastly, you can tally the drinks consumed during the wedding and charge the couple after the wedding for the total drink tally managed by your bartenders. For couples who want to pay for the exact number of drinks consumed, this is a good option. That being said, this is Kinsey's least favorite option for charging as she doesn't like any financial surprises for couples following their wedding day. This option will require more paperwork and administration after the wedding.   GET IN TOUCH WITH US:  LINDSAY: HELLO@THELINDSAYLUCAS.COM KINSEY: KINSEY@SHECREATESBUSINESSPODCAST.COM
