  2. Step 2: Set up

    Bar built, ice in, glassware polished and drinks ready before the first guest arrives.

  3. Step 3: Cocktail hour

    Signature cocktails poured, arrival drinks on trays, the queue kept short.

  4. Step 4: Dinner and toast

    Wine service through dinner, champagne poured to the timeline, not after it.

    Last call on your schedule, bar broken down, room left clean.

Questions

About this service

Do we need a Special Occasion Permit for our wedding?

If the reception is at a rented hall or an outdoor site, generally yes. At a private residence, generally not. Permits are applied for through the AGCO, and the permit holder pays the fee. We’ll walk you through the process.

How much alcohol should we buy?

That is what the quantity guide is for. It is built from your guest count, the length of service and the drink list, and it is included from The Signature Edit up.

Can you do the shopping for us?

Yes. On The Curated Edit, or as an add-on, we shop and pick up everything at cost from a budget you approve.

Can you do zero proof options?

Yes. It is included from The Signature Edit up, and an add-on for The Pour Edit. Zero proof drinks can sit on any menu.

Will you work with our venue coordinator?

Yes, directly. Send us the contact and we will handle the bar requirements and the load in ourselves.
