Signature Cocktails

We all know that planning a wedding is incredibly exciting! However, we have to work within our budgets as well. Thinking of budgets may want you grabbing for a bottle of wine! So let’s talk about Bar Packages!

Most of us desire to have a fully stocked open bar but sometimes having endless cocktails available to your guests can break the bank. Catering Companies offer many options to make sure that you stay within budget and also allow your guests a fun drink menu to choose from.

When you begin diving into Catering Services, take a good look through their Full Bar Packages and Beer, Wine and Soda Options. They will offer various brands of liquors, beers and wines along with respective prices for each. Sometimes, these packages can be drastic enough in cost that it will leave most to going with the Beer, Wine and Soda route. Most remain wishing that they still had a mixed drink option to offer to their family and friends. Catering Companies have already found a solution to this!  Signature Cocktails! Adding signature cocktails is not only a great compromise when it comes to a bar package, but it is a great way to give your bar that personal touch!

Have a favorite drink? How about your fiancé?! Take these cocktails and offer them to your guests. Incorporate a fun sign to place at the bar or pour your favorite concoctions into a specialty glass. From incorporating your wedding colors, to showcasing your spunky personality, let’s come up with some great ideas on enhancing these cocktails together!

Keep in mind, signature cocktails are not just for adding to the Beer, Wine and Soda package. Offer them as a welcome drink upon your guests’ arrival or have them passed during the cocktail hour. This is a fun way of giving your reception that extra ‘WOW’ factor.
