[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh - we charged for cocktails because we didn’t want people to drink so much that they risked getting into a wreck and taking lives of people down the country roads on the way home. If they really needed a drink, then they should pay for it. And we did offer free wine with dinner. Plus, we already had 150 guests and the bill was already quite high. [b]People are not gonna remember that.[/b] And if they do, then they are petty. Also, we could not allow children other than the ringbearer and the flower girl, because we were limited to 150 guests.[/quote]

Wow. I've never seen someone defend cash bars. And so badly.

I've never been invited to one. My parents were invited to one in 2005. They STILL talk about it.  Yeah, people absolutely remember your shitty cash bar wedding as probably the worst wedding they've ever been to. Sorry. [/quote]

The worst wedding I ever went to (150+ people) had a cash bar and got low on food at the buffet by the time my table was called. Literally got a tiny piece of meat and a teaspoon of rice. The guy in front of me asked for more and the server said they had to save it for "seconds" for the wedding party/family etc. So freaking tacky.

To this day I think of my friends who hosted this wedding as cheap and ridiculous. Best advice I ever got was when it came to budgeting never reduce what you provide in order to increase the size, have more things for fewer people. [/quote]

I don’t even really drink and I think cash bars are tacky. If you can’t afford booze then just have a more casual daytime event. That is what a non-drinker friend of mine did (a small, outdoors Sunday brunch type event). If you want the big Saturday night, dress up and drink cocktails wedding then you need to pay for that and not expect your guests to.

And I can’t even believe the venue allowed the bride and groom to host a wedding without enough buffet food. All the venues I looked at had a set per head amount for the buffet (I’m sure based on whatever calculation they had done would be enough for the average guest). So it wasn’t even like we could say we want X amount of this food item and Y amount of that. We ended up going with a plated dinner, but I do appreciate a buffet so long as there is plenty of food.
