TOPIC: Bar costs
#632
Bar costs 1 Year, 11 Months ago Karma: 0
I am having my wedding reception at the Croatian Hall in Kitchener, where the only option is to run your own bar. My FH and I cannot agree whether to have an open bar or a toonie bar but it is very difficult to find any information regarding costs. We are having about 200 people, and we are making our wine. Does anyone have any estimates or places to obtain estimates? I spoke to the LCBO who have a 'party planner' on their website, but it seemed ridiculously low at $1,200 total. I was also told that the split between beer and spirit drinkers tends to be 60/40.

Please advise!

We just had our wedding and I think we went through 20 cases of beer and around 10 40's of booze. And I want to say the beer alone cost around a grand. We had a donation bar and almost broke even. I'd say there was about 120 people there. ( we had 75 for the dinner and open reception)
So just thinking you are gonna be needing more than that!! Unless no one drinks.!!!
