FAQs
- How many drinks should I buy for 150 wedding guests?
The default five-hour estimate is 615 drinks for about 123 guests who drink. Treat that as a quote-starting number, not a final purchase order. - How much wine do 150 guests need?
The baseline calls for 56 wine bottles. Ask the venue whether table wine, bar wine and toast pours are counted separately in their package. - How many beer cases work for 150 guests?
The starter beer count is 9 cases. If you offer cans at an outdoor reception, build in cold storage and recycling space before adding more cases. - How many bartenders are comfortable for 150 guests?
2 bartenders is the early planning baseline. A second bar or barback can matter more than an extra bottle when everyone heads to cocktail hour together.
