Welcome Drinks
Enhance the reception experience for your guests with our delightful welcome drinks. As your attendees arrive at your wedding, our professional staff will warmly greet them, offering a choice of refreshing beverages such as water, lemonade, wine, or even a low alcohol by volume (ABV%) cocktail while they await the commencement of the ceremony.
Beverages throughout the reception
The reception marks a moment for celebratory toasts with effervescent bubbles. Following the ceremony, we suggest treating your guests to a glass of champagne, sparkling wine, or perhaps a couple of cocktails to kick off the festivities. For this stage, we recommend lighter options with low alcohol by volume (ABV%), such as spritzers, wines, beers, and juices.
To enhance service and ensure every guest can easily access a drink, consider having the beverages served on trays. This not only adds a touch of elegance but also guarantees that all attendees can enjoy a drink promptly and seamlessly.
Open Bar
Indulge your guests in the ultimate bar experience with our comprehensive open bar packages at your wedding. Featuring a wide selection of spirits across various categories, our offerings can be expertly mixed to create exceptional and memorable cocktails.
