FAQs
- What changes at a 125-guest wedding bar?
At 125 guests, the baseline reaches 515 drinks, so bar layout starts to matter. Place water and nonalcoholic drinks away from the main alcohol queue when possible. - How many bartenders should serve 125 guests?
Use 2 bartenders as the early planning baseline. Add another service point if cocktail hour is short or guests arrive at the bar all at once. - How much champagne is needed for 125 guests?
A toast-only estimate is 16 bottles. If some guests do not drink, keep a sparkling nonalcoholic option beside the toast count. - Should I stock a full open bar for 125 guests?
A full open bar can work, but a beer-wine-signature-drink menu is easier to forecast. Use the 7-bottle spirit estimate only if spirits are truly part of the plan.
