FAQs
- How much wine should I set aside for 75 wedding guests?
The default wine share estimates 28 bottles. If dinner is seated and wine-forward, raise wine before raising every drink category. - Do 75 guests need a separate cocktail bar?
For 75 guests, 1 bartender is the starter service baseline. A separate cocktail point helps only if the room layout or signature drinks would create a queue. - How many beer cases fit a 75-person reception?
The model estimates 5 cases of beer. If beer is mainly for cocktail hour, lower the beer share and move that budget into wine or nonalcoholic options. - What buffer makes sense for 75 guests?
Start with the calculator result, then add a small buffer only to the categories your crowd actually drinks. A blanket buffer across beer, wine and spirits can overbuy quickly at this size.
