Party and Wedding Planner


Here are our suggestions for your event. Use this guide to do some pre-planning, then come in to see one of our helpful consultants for food and wine pairings as well as pricing out your soiree.

Make sure you always have enough drinks on-hand for your guests. Here's how...
What is one drink? One drink is equal to ...
  •  1.5 ounces of liquor
  •  5 ounces of wine, or
  •  one 12 ounce beer.

Drinks per person-

The majority of parties and receptions run from 2 to 4 hours. You will need to plan on an average of 3 drinks per person for the first 2 hours.

2 Hour Party Drink Planner-

The total drinks are divided equally amongst wine, beer & spirits. If you will not be serving spirits, you will need to increase the amount of wine and beer.

1 bottle of spirits = 3 bottles of wine = 1 case of beer
