FAQs
- How do I keep a 300-guest wedding bar moving?
At 300 guests, the baseline is 1230 drinks. Use multiple service points, clear menus and pre-set nonalcoholic stations so the main bar is not doing every job. - How many bottles of wine should I plan for 300 guests?
The default split estimates 111 wine bottles. At this scale, decide by service style: table wine, bar wine and premium pours should be quoted separately. - How many beer cases fit a 300-guest wedding?
The starter beer line is 18 cases. Confirm cold storage, ice, recycling and unopened-return rules before rounding up. - Are batch cocktails better for 300 guests?
They can be. If spirits stay in the plan, the 15-bottle estimate is easier to serve through batched signature drinks than a broad made-to-order cocktail list.
