Wedding bar FAQ

No. We're a dry-hire bar, which means we don't buy any beer, wine or spirits. You'll buy the alcohol yourself, and we'll tell you exactly how much you need for your guest count and point you to local distributors that take back unopened bottles. We can also apply for a day-of liquor license for your wedding.

We're based in Pine Bush and serve Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Sullivan, Rockland, Westchester and Greene counties, including the Catskills. Tell us where your venue is and we'll let you know.

Yes! Weddings are our focus, but we've also poured at birthday parties (including a 60th surprise party and a six-year-old's party we've returned to every year since our very first event), quinceañeras, employee appreciation events and a 250th anniversary celebration at a historic estate. Tell us about your event and we'll let you know.

We recommend one bartender for every 50 guests, and at least two at every wedding. We'll settle the final number with you based on your menu and how many bars you have.

It depends on your venue. Many venues ask for one when you bring your own alcohol, and we can apply for a day-of liquor license for your wedding. Check with your venue, and we'll take it from there.

We'll make you a custom shopping list based on your guest count, drink menu and hours, so you buy the right amount. Unopened bottles can usually go back to the store.
